    We both lose. APK wins. Sort of.

    Prophecy: This thread will become a mac/win flamewar within the 20th comment.

    Look, this is ./. It is not important whether you post first or not, whether you post soon or late. What's important is that your comment is thoughtfully pondered; describes in painful detail some personal habit of yours nobody else cares about; and demonstrates thorough knowledge of some technology or process that most people are happily oblivious about, and is completely offtopic. Bonus points if you start a flamewar with it.

    AC should have typed verify the hypothesis.

    There's some sort of screw up happening somewhere.

    Yes. It's called Vista.

    You empty it less frequently because the icon is smaller? This looks more like ADD than OCD.

    Why not just disable confirmation on delete?

    The computer would tell them, but they would not be listening. Ever noticed how nobody ever reads alerts? Or confirm dialogs
    "The computer asked me something and now I can't X."
    "What was the message?"
    "I don't know, I just clicked OK."

  10. Re:Non story - news at 11 on Microsoft Shows Off Radical New UI, Could Be Used In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Also, that bubble interface is shown for maybe 2 secs, and it looks like it's nice to watch but utterly useless.

    The question remains open whether a world without iPads or iPods would be any different.

    This whole subthread doesn't seem to have anything to do with whac-a-mole.

    Self-slap: I hadn't RTFA. "The code is capable of logging GET and POST requests"... "By tapping the session ID token"...
    OK. I'll have to turn back to "use an OS that cannot run EXEs and hope it takes very long to deploy a .sh version".

  16. Re:that would not help. on Financial Malware Hijacks Online Banking Sessions · · Score: 1

    I was about to reply "use a (non-windows) live cd and a non-IE browser and you are safe". If the session is kept alive on the server, that's an entirely different problem. But wouldn't a session be usually "identified" by the presence of a client-side cookie (or another client-side authentication token)? I mean, if the client shuts down isn't the session automatically terminated?

    It's a fun sunday tinkering in the basement.

    I know it's completely off-topic, but this is at least the 4th thread today where basements come out at a certain point. Is it Basement Day somewhere?

    Yes, of course I was exaggerating. Thanks however for taking the time of listing all Windows versions ever.

    No, because new versions of windows come out every 7-8 years, unless one particular version is a royal screwup, in which case it only takes 2. "Rolling releases" here was meant as "often" I think.

    It's always been there even if you don't edit sources.list. I didn't understand the hype (was there any?) yesterday, nor I do today.
