I'd love to see Microsoft and others just stop selling their products to countries who seem to want to milk them for as much money as they can. The uprising form the citizens may motivate some common sense. Doubtful though...
I had definitive evidence a company had a virus on their site but they didn't seem to care. The virus was present for a few weeks until I posted the facts in their forums. They quickly remedied the problem then tried to scold me for creating a PR issue. Heck, if they responded in even a semi responsible manner (e.g. "we'll look into it, thanks") rather than telling me to pound sand they could have avoided any repercussions. I think they just didn't want to move resources from whatever they were doing to remedy the problem.
That's kind of like me trying to rob a bank but I have a note in my pocket saying "I was just trying to verify your security was adequate" in case I get caught. WTF? Hacking is illegal no matter what the intent.
No kidding. I'm forced to get the flu shot every year. Right after they squirt it into my nose I thank them, grab a tissue, walk out, and blow my nose. Never been sick with flu like symptoms until this year when I thought I was going to die from mucous clogging my head holes.
If they made their delivery business more efficient they wouldn't have to sell stuff that's not relevant to their core business. WTF are they thinking? Why not sell delivery vehicles and dog bite kits? I repeat, WTF?
Cinnamon is really good and illustrates the difference between Ubuntu and Mint: Ubuntu gives you what Ubuntu thinks you want, Mint gives you what you ask for. (Mate is pretty good as well)
That's because the President keeps spending money. You can't spend your way out of debt, it's ludicrous, and why does our national debt keep going up? Aren't we paying it down or is the USA just making minimum payments. Once they get the voting block up to critical mass maybe they'll stop giving things away for free but until then I don't understand. Everyone needs to watch Animal Farm and see where we're heading...we're currently at the scene where the pigs scratch "...but some animals are more equal than others..." onto the side of the barn right under the part that says "All animals are equal."
I don't and I run Windows 8 in Parallels 7 on a 2006 MacPro which is pretty slow by today's standards. Did I mention I got a POS nVidia 7300GT? Not herky jerky at all and I play FS2004 (flight simulator), Office 2010, and SolSuite 2013.
...and Americans generally don't give a crap about other countries and what they think... This is probably part of our problem but it makes us "endearing".
I wouldn't say "massively degraded" but it's significant for games, not so significant for office apps. To avoid requiring a copy of Windows you could get CrossOver and just install Windows. I believe CrossOver provides the.dlls and whatever else an app requires.
Rather than mess with a VM and slightly degraded performance I'd opt for a free alternative (e.g. Libre Office) although a VM would provide some added security...
That's most like due to the path that leads directly to the power core. Statistics prove something will fly into this pathway and hit the unprotected power core causing a massive and unstoppable explosion, ending the satellite's lifespan. You think they'd learn but the Empire's engineering budget has been slashed significantly since the sequestration Darth levied on the council.
Everyone's a doubter...crap, made me set my beer down and google it for your reading pleasure. Forgot where I originally read this, but here's Wikipedia's version:
From the autumn of 1929 until the summer of 1931, each Gregorian calendar year was usually divided into 72 five-day weeks (=360 days), three of which were split into two partial weeks by five national holidays. The two parts of each split week still totaled five days—the one or two national holidays that split it were not part of that week. Each day of the five-day week was labeled by either one of five colors or a Roman numeral from I to V. Each worker was assigned a color or number to identify his or her day of rest.
Eighty per cent of each factory's workforce was at work every day (except holidays) in an attempt to increase production while 20% were resting. But if a husband and wife, and their relatives and friends were assigned different colors or numbers, they would not have a common rest day for their family and social life. Furthermore, machines broke down more frequently both because they were used by workers not familiar with them, and because no maintenance could be performed on machines that were never idle in factories with continuous schedules (24-hours/day every day). Five-day weeks (and later six-day weeks) "made it impossible to observe Sunday as a day of rest. This measure was deliberately introduced 'to facilitate the struggle to eliminate religion'".[1]
The colors vary depending on the source consulted. The 1930 color calendar displayed here has days of purple, blue, yellow, red, and green, in that order beginning 1 January.[2] Blue was supported by an anonymous writer in 1936 as the second day of the week, but he stated that red was the first day of the week.[3] However, most sources replace blue with either pink,[4][5][6][7][8] orange,[9][10][11] or peach,[12] all of which specify the different order yellow, pink/orange/peach, red, purple, and green. The partial 1930 black and white calendar from Kingsbury and Fairchild (1935) displayed here does not conform to any of these because its red day is the fifth day of the week, which even disagrees with their own statement that red was the third day of the week.[9]
Russia tried something like that where people worked 5 days on and 1 day off. This allowed factories to run 24/7 or at least until they broke. The mechanical failures was part of the reason Russia went to a kooky sub-7 day week and shortly after that they went to a normal 7-day week. People and machines need time for scheduled maintenance/beer.
Isn't the antenna so focussed it's not likely to receive anything except in a small beam width? I know my large aperture communications terminals have a beamwidth of 0.1 degrees or less or are they concerned about reflections? How sensitive are those radio telescopes and how tight are their beams?

Can you turn the output power down or just take the antenna(s) off? Might make the signal weak/slow enough the perpetrator is no longer interested.

Uh...I'm only staying on Mars for two weeks, maybe I'll see Quaid at the party.
I use the three shells where I live on the east coast of America.

Then let nature take it's course and let them go through bankruptcy.

It'd like calling shotgun or laying dibs on something, what kind of legal ownership does this give them? None, but it is interesting.

The easiest and fastest way to get modded down here is to post anything religious or conservative.

That might do it. I avoid FDE and only encrypt a few folders using Espionage for OSX.

I said everyone worked a 6-day week (5 on, 1 off) and maintenance wasn't done.

Every hotel has a TV, most have HDMI hookups on the side as well, but not every hotel has free wifi, but I generally don't use hotel wifi anyways.
