The Death of BCC
·
· Score: 1
Also, copying and pasting into a new message is nothing new. There were plenty of people who didn't know how to use BCC properly before Facebook, and there will be plenty who don't long after it falls into obscuriy.
Facebook isn't e-mail. I use BCC, and so do many other people; it still works just fine. Just be happy these tards can actually send an e-mail and don't need to call you for help with that.
You really think a domain suffix ties the hands of law enforcement? The servers were in Italy, the Italian police seized the servers. Not that hard to figure out.

What (I imagine) happens most of the time with intentionally leaked broken software:
"Man, this DRM is so restrictive! I'm just going to pirate it!"
"HEY! This game is broken! Forget this!"
Result: Lost Sale
I'm pretty sure the sale was lost a step earlier when the individual consciously decided to pirate it.
Considering that I have not once downloaded a fake on TBP in the past 10 years or so that I have been using it, I think that either the "researcher" is fiddling with the numbers or has no idea how to download something.
Speaking of fiddling with numbers, The Pirate Bay didn't exist 10 years ago.
So you want to go back to a less easy to use file browser and lose the amazing search bar from Win 7? You're probably one of those people who throws a fit if you use a new keyboard with some of the keys (say volume control) in a different location.
Try actually using Win 7 for a couple of days - you'll never want to go back.
Don't be so condescending. YOU might like it better, but that doesn't mean it is objectively better or easier for everyone. No one is trying to force their computing preferences on you, but you seem to be doing so to others. I'm using Windows 7. I don't hate it, but I'm not amazed by it. I don't fear change, but I do question change that impedes the way I prefer to use MY computer.
Frankly, if you're touting the search bar as one of the major features of the operating system, you're fighting a strange battle.
Not only that, but if someone steals a laptop in which the cloud IS the storage, it seems that the GP would still have people calling him hoping to get back their baby pictures and term papers.... it seems reasonable that a nefarious individual would snatch whatever might be useful or relevent to his interests and then delete everything, prompting the cloud to do the same. It solves nothing in this regard.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people in Minneapolis right now that would wish them luck."
As someone who lives in the Minneapolis area, I wish them no such thing. However, if they want to pick up some shovels and take this stuff away I would have no objection.
Simple solution: Back up your data. In other news, make sure you patch software and operating system vulnerabilities and don't run executables from unknown sources.
It's a poor joke in poor taste. He's already retracted all that, and even critics of the current Canadian government on the opposite side of the house have said that Flanagan was probably joking. He was stupid for putting it that way, of course, but he wasn't serious.
The thing is, some other people have suggested targeting him "like the Taliban" and are apparently serious.
Oh, so he was joking? No one is laughing. Calling for someone's death over the release of information in a society that supposedly values freedom shouldn't be taken quite so lightly, even if he did try to take back his words.
If I had points I'd mod you insightful. While the OP doesn't state it, I would assume that MS would be off the table, given that Larry Ellison is trying to be Bill Gates. But, if it's solely an Oracle problem, Office has nothing to do with that.
OP does state it, quite clearly in fact:
" Is there some alternative out there that I'm completely overlooking for open source?"
Unless Microsoft recently released the source code to their office suite this option has been pretty clearly disqualified. RTFA.
I can't help but wonder if this is related to the previous idle story about Australian schoolchildren defeating fingerprint readers with gummy bears. Perhaps the circumvention wasn't intentional, but merely residue off these fatties' fingers...

Secondly, you don't NEED to search - hit windows then type what you want in the search bar and it's RIGHT THERE
That, by your own admission, would be searching.

They can publish what the hell they want. Free speech, private citizens, all that rot?
I never said they couldn't. It just comes down to basic journalistic ethics and integrity, you know... all that rot.
Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.
In that case, Wired doesn't need to publish information they are unable or unwilling to back up with evidence.

That's all well and good, but Moonlight doesn't support DRM-protected content.

Facebook was developed with Open Source software.
So are a lot of other closed and proprietary systems. Facebook itself isn't open source, so that has no bearing on anything.
"Heit" is a slang term for "prostitute", although I don't know how it's suposed to be spelled.
See joke above regarding broken spellcheck...

Chauvanism can also refer to fanatical patriotism
*Chauvinism, sorry.
I don't think chauvinist is the word you want unless you're implying that women are not, by default, native english speakers...

Is it really that hard to include a link to Ubuntu's official Alpha 1 page, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha1 ?
Oh wait, guess there's not enough annoying ads and popups on that page..
Fail. That's the old Meercat alpha. I guess it was pretty hard, at least for you.

He said open source... it doesn't get much clearer than that.
