I would assume that this is a "one time" thing... even still, how can you expect everyone to have an Internet connection? This is America after all....
Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, I have had WAY more Linux servers exploited than Windows servers.
I have set up hundreds of Windows Small Business servers and less than half as many production Linux servers. I only recall having 1 Windows server exploited, and that was because the customer set up an admin-level user with an extremely simple password and then opened RDP to the world.
On the other hand, I have had several Linux servers exploited via ProFTPD, Horde, Sendmail and other vulnerable services.
Except that CC most likely has way higher viewership numbers. A lot more people have CC than HBO.
I can see how it could be attractive in the short term to go with a lucrative HBO contract, but you run the risk of dwindling into obscurity since you are no longer a household name.
I kind of think that the problem with politicians is that they are constantly looking to "spin" every situation.
I heard gunfire from my hotel room, I have been told that there are snipers all over this area... I could legitimately say we were under fire... right?
I think Jon's skill as an interviewer is unparalleled. His wit and charm always impress me. It is always apparent to me that he puts a great amount of thought and energy into the show.
However, the dick jokes really start to wear on me after a while. Seriously, try to find a single episode in the last 3 years that does NOT have a dick joke.... I doubt there are any.
Not to mention that a single drug-sniffing dog can only operate for a few hours before needing to rest, otherwise the rate of false positives start to go up dramatically.
Who would complain about a *default* password they didn't like? They already bought the widget and have the ability to change the password... Who bases their buying decision on the default password of the device?
I used to always recommend download.com to non-technical users as a trusted source for freeware.
Now, unless it is available through the ninite.com installer, I don't recommend users download anything themselves.
I just went through a major ordeal with my mom's computer where I ended up having to ship the thing to me in order remove the infestation of malware she got because she was trying to install driver software herself. The stuff was basically making her computer unusable. I had to rebuild the box and remove her admin rights to her own machine just to protect her from herself.
I feel really bad for non-technical Windows these days....
My rule is this. If my commute for whatever reason begins to exceed cycling distance, I move so the job is back within cycling distance.
The main thing is a long commute should only ever really be temporary. It's not just the money spent on fuel, but the amazing amounts of time wasted on commuting especially by car when you can't do anything else while commuting.
I am basically your friend, minus the self-righteousness. I don't own a car and I get everywhere I need to go by bike, train, bus or, if I need to, taxi.
I am very aware of the burden I put on friends and family sometimes and so I will go out of my way to make my own arrangements to attend gatherings. Sometimes my transit by bus is as much as 5 hours round trip if I have to go out to the suburbs (my daily commute to work is around 2.5 hours total).
It sounds like your friend is kind of an entitled prick.
I believe that some of the problem is that it takes a team of vastly experienced *nix admins to cobble together all the appropriate software projects AND make them work seamlessly together to do things that are fairly natural on the Windows side.
I am thinking of things like deployment tools, central authentication and SSO systems, backup / restore systems, roaming profiles with automounts, file system quotas and ACLs, etc etc.
Obviously, all these things are quite possible but it takes a team of very experienced people to pull all this stuff together. Whereas on the MS side, a single moderately experienced Windows admin can pull this stuff together relatively easily for even a medium sized business.

People rent cabins to watch DVDs?
Buy some old CRT TVs, that would seem to fit the cabin experience better anyway...

yeah, they could get the DJ 3000 to replace JS....

I don't recall the last time I voted but I would definitely "get out the vote" for JS.

Obviously, sir, you have the wisdom of age.
I am with you both monkeyzoo and guyniraxn.

I don't think he was talking about heartbleed. I think he was talking about GOTO FAIL

I am in full support of this. I feel the same way

I am sure there are lots of reasons.

Yes, Dell tests things so rigorously it is hard to believe that their laptops overheat and burst in to flames....
to farm gold for me.
Except that I don't believe you can be "enlighted" and still believe in traditional gender roles.
All I see here are men who see the writing on the wall and don't want the last bit of power over others to slip through their fingers
or perhaps the truffle shuffle?
You just need to glue flux capacitor to that thing and then hope you (don't?) get hit by a lightning strike.
Out of the way PEONS! Your betters are posting on the Internet!

Tor was developed by DARPA and is funded by the NSF and the US State Dept.
I think your fears are a little unfounded.
