Normally you get rogue banners and as JimboFBX has said "5. They get this fake virus full screen banner when they visit a trusted website. In my sister's case it was hotmail.com. This leads me to suspect it could had been either a rogue banner or she has a virus on her machine prior to the incident".
This happened to a friend yesterday and I went around to his place to fix his PC. Thankfully it was not a huge issue as I made him buy Malwarebytes a few months ago which is set up to monitor in real time and had already quarantined these rogues.
It does actually bring into question what he was doing; including his 15 year old daughter who installed for him the sweet IM toolbar thinking it was Kool (idiot). You just have to remember people are not very well educated when it comes around to computers. It is more a case of I want something now; you get offered something free; one does not read the terms and conditions; therefore by installing this CLICK YES TO INSTALL AND DISABLE ALL YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS OR CLICK NO TO DISABLE YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS AND INSTALL IT ANYWAY AND OR/CLOSE TO INSTALL ANYWAY.
The only bug you shall face, is politics and idiots against this idea. Including people who do not get up early in the morning and are stressed out.
I am awake around 04:35 to 07:00 each day. I do hard work before daylight and then relax for the rest of the day as it is MINE. I earned the rest of the day for myself and put in all the "Front End" work. I do not expect some/. mods to even understandand this when they are so far up their own arseholes.
When will you learn that dedicating your life to hard work... defined as the work you do not want to do. You can stop crying like a baby.Now fuck off and go and whistle on facebook or some other shit social network site.
The BBC is a government funded George Orwell 1984 media machine. All the best news readers left the BBC for Al Jazzera.I report for Al Jazzera and get more stories published there than I do on slashdot.
I stopped offering support services for this very reason. People deserve privacy and Sir Arthur C Clarke told me when he was alive. The world is just not ready for some technology and Einstein was also abused so he stopped helping before things became out of control.
I can hand craft code to suit my needs, remember, why give knowledge to people who cannot responsibly hold it with without corruption or sinister intentions?
This Police Chief needs a slap like. I will keylog and wipe your arse with your copy & paste stuck to your clipboard. Idiot does not understand who twated his bank account, stole cookies, LSO's JavaScript etc, etc, etc.
Why do these companies have such fucking morons working for them?
I don't know and I was hoping you could have answered that question! Anon Coward | I see the point now; your point being AC; J00 work for Ebay as a Senior Dev, and are pissed off with your stupid staff and do not want to be identified.
No worries we will restore the Harrier to fly again. Paul Bonhamme will fly it from the Ex RAF and Red Bull Air Race pilot through the cracks of their arseholes.
Remember governments want their cake and they want to eat it plus more. I do recall many years ago before 9/11 I was part of the movement who sent mass "keywords" to force the FBI into admitting the existence of Carnivore. These were the days before wikileaks and the source code was leaked onto planetsourcecode.com for 8 hours.
Eventually the FBI admitted what they were doing then scrapped the code and set about an entire overhaul of systems including the CIA DHS etc. The new code name was Magic Lantern, still the same code but now a different name with variations added in like Bit Locker into systems shipped part of Microsoft.
You might ask why this is important? Well since the fiasco of Carniovre, it has taken 11 years for the government to catch up and they have spent Billion's of Dollars of the good honest people of America to spy more.
Only SHA 512 is acceptable nowadays, Put it together 3DES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES and AES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES serpent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_encryption_algorithm and blowfish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_%28cipher%29 You will really piss of governments royally and set them back 200 years of spy more!
This went on sale and ebay removed it. Due to publicity generated throughout the press, a private sale was arranged outside of ebay, which might I add is against ebay's terms and conditions.
I call this poetic justice. What are Ebay going to do now? complain about not getting their 10% sellers fee?
I had been waiting for a post like this for quite sometime. There is a program to deal with precisely this.

The only issue I have with bloatware is sometimes it is just easy to completely overwrite the drive with zeros, then do a fresh installation. Often it is also much faster.
Since when was it safe to turn off your computer? If you turn it off the feds turn it back on and if you turn off your cell the CIA turn it back on without the display.
All your base belongs to "Evil Fuckers" muuuuuahahahhahahahahaha
Yes people die of water poisoning, Really I suppose your health does depend on your lifestyle and actually how much excercise you get. I am not a lazy bugger and walk to many places as I can cover 4 miles on foot faster than bus or car across the city. I also enjoy a drink regularly and there is nothing wrong with me.
If you stay fit and active you can drink what you like and eat what you like without getting fat or worrying about your health.
I sincerely appreciate your comment. It is hard to describe or put in to words, but you are exactly right. Sorry it is a little bit upsetting but how true your words ring true!
You are conflating "Scientist" and "Professor". Aside from the academic track, as a Ph.D. scientist, you can work in industry, especially if you have a background in organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics or materials science. You could also skip to DC and work in public policy and education. Or you could join a law firm as a patent agent, work a few years, and have a J.D. from a top-tier law school paid by your employer while making top dollars as patent attorney. Or maybe you'd like to work VC as a scientific advisor, as you have knowledge and skills your average MBA graduate does not. Or perhaps you have an idea for a new technology you'd like to bring to market and know you've just spent 6 years working dilligently on one thing to have it succeed, so it's not like you don't have the drive. Or maybe you'd like to...
Mugabe is just a thug. I agree that the people of Zimbabwe need to stand up. A few days ago he threatened war if sanctions were not lifted against the country. Also Zimbabwe was kicked out of the commonweath list of countries. Sooner or later this guy will stop oppressing the people of Zimbabwe, people will have freedom once again in the Country.
Sorry could not resist. Sue me! Look if you need to join a social networking site, you need a "Reality Check". Buy your own domain name and get hosted or host yourself if you know apache. It is not that hard. Start you own blog etc and people will find you. Not fake "E" friends, then you might make some true friends.
These companies have massive logs of spammers, but the problem we face is the opt in and Microsoft in particular turn a blind eye as they are spammers themselves. Also they make a lot of money of it.
<quote><p>And you're still a troll. And if you think that simply running Linux automagically protects you from any threat of malware, you're also an idiot.</p></quote>
<p>The quality of discussion on this site is taking a nosedive lately. I think phony "debate" talkshows and the demagoguing occurring in politics does a lot of damage by repeatedly presenting invalid processes as though they were legitimate or useful. I'll spell it out right now, the dishonest tactics used on shows like that and commercials like that are designed for one purpose: so the host or politician can "win" and "be right" no matter how right or wrong he/she actually is. It's rhetoric, not debate.
SHOULD BE MODDED UP +10 for his post.
I'll give a rough outline of how this most often plays out on Slashdot. My goal is to demonstrate how petty and useless it really is:</p><ol> <li>Read a statement made by another poster.</li><li>Decide whether you like or don't like that statement.</li><li>Assume that anything you don't like must be factually incorrect.</li><li>(Optional) Demonize people who say things you don't like by never admitting when they make a valid point. That would be like helping the enemy since you're either with us or against us! That's much more precious than honest debate, right?</li><li>Do not deal with the poster as an individual. Instead, pigeonhole them:</li><li><ul> <li>Decide what group (real or imagined) the poster vaguely sounds like.</li><li>Ascribe all attributes of that group to the poster.</li><li>Fail to notice that the poster actually made no such claims; instead, put words in their mouth.</li></ul></li><li>Proceed to tear down the straw man you have just set up.</li><li>(Optional) call the poster names, use invective, use ad-hominems.</li><li>(Mandatory) forget that you just tore down a strawman that you set up, so your "victory" feels genuine and earned.</li></ol><p> It boils down to what kind of man or woman you are. To some people, the truth is more important than winning and any winning that does happen is not legitimate if it is not rooted in truth. To many people, winning is more important than the truth and lying, distorting, misrepresenting, are all acceptable as long as you win and the other guy loses. The latter group will never know what it means to say "you know, that's a really good point, it made me think about this differently, you changed my mind about this -- thank you!" for that would mean losing face, or so they imagine.
What does this have to do with the subject at hand? I'll explain. For every 500 times I've seen someone say "if you think Linux automagically protects you from malware", I think I've seen maybe 1 time that anyone actually made that claim. This strawman has been beaten so severely it's reverted back to a small pile of hay. It's time to let it go, no matter how otherwise trollish somebody else has decided to be (and he was -- I don't dispute that, but this BS compounds that problem).
The GP said two things. He said he has run Debian and/or Ubuntu for the last 10 years. That's not absurd or beyond the realm of possibility. So ok, I believe him. He also says he has experienced no malware during those 10 years. That's strictly a matter of his competence as a Linux admin, skilled admins exist, and it doesn't take a particularly high level of skill to achieve that. So that's not absurd or infeasible either. Ok, I believe him on that one too.
Now hear this: he did not claim that Linux automagically did anything. I realize some people have said that -- if you want to do something about it, locate and deal with those people. What you're doing is assuming he must be just like them because he wears the same kind of tie. Until and unless he makes the same claims, he is not just like them. If he trolled a little, you said "oh yeah, watch THIS" and showed him how it's done.</p></quote>

Steam systems are a nightmare to maintain in any weather conditions - switching from steam to electricity has been an ongoing process in the Navy for decades. The old Charles Adams class DDGs had all-steam propulsion plants - meaning that every oil pump, fuel pump, and every other system ran on some kind of steam. Those guys spent their lives maintaining steam turbines. As time has gone by, the Navy has gotten away from steam in a big way for exactly that reason - all that steam technology required a lot of sailors to keep running, and sailors are expensive. For what it's worth, I'm qualified as a Navy Engineering Officer of the Watch (EOOW) in 1200 lb steam, so I have some considerable personal experience with this.
I also think that you're likely to get performance improvements from EMALS. So I really doubt that this move has much to do with an anticipated Arctic war - there are big advantages to moving away from steam in any weather conditions.
I am an ex Marine Commando/ SFSG/ FP (Special Forces Support Group/Fleet Protection) and have spent time on many british warships including HMS Ocean/illustrious etc. Although this is a good idea, I cannot help but see a high failure rate in the Arctic and the Salt Water monkeying with launch control. "Cables on Launch" and steam work. Sorry but I have to laugh, how many pilots will get dumped in the Ocean "cough" "splutter" like a Car that is back-firing and will not start properly in cold weather.
Steam works, besides the pistons and hydraulics get planes and copters up on the flight deck at ultra speed. I can just see this failing. Sorry I am a traditionalist and sticks with what works.
