Not at first, although the signature for Tor v0.2.3.25 used in Sefnit was added later to the Malicious Software Removal Tool that Windows Update regularly pushes out.
Is it the completely, un-mouse friendly interface to reach your settings, or anything at all actually?
The completely retarded replacement of the start button with a shortcut to the equally retarded start screen?
The utter lack of feedback from the UI? Is it working now!? maybe I missed the button - the scheduler knows, but why the fuck should it tell me, I'm just the user right?
Or could it be that you're referring to the fact that I have to run a shell command to setup which programs start with Windows?
Or that it feels like some smug 20-something year old asshole, fresh out of college, employed the entirety of his book learnedness to shit all over 30 years of UI design practices.
The Windows 8 UI is entirely un-userfriendly, couple that with the fact that a good portion of the install base came pre installed and therefore without a fucking manual to ease to transition. Have YOU tried this 8.1 piece of shit? Because I have and I am not impressed.
This is exactly what the NSA _should_ be doing. It's too bad that they have spent so much focus on stuff _other_ than this.
Which begs the question, how come this was not among the first things touted as their reason for being? How come this was not mentioned before Congress? Or to the media? How come this whole thing sounds utterly made up?
Basically yes. And knowing the police here, they're probably more afraid of him than trying to punish him. We have a huge problem with people in prison getting their hands on cell phones. A few months ago it was even documented on camera how friends of inmates would walk up to a prison wall shared with an alley in Copenhagen and throw cell phones across.
Right, because a problem has never come up despite prior testing...
You are absolutely right that change logs are one part of a suite of tools / information sources we use when tracking a bug or problem. But out here in the real world I really do see way too many cases of the reverse. Install without thinking, then check the change log to try and salvage what is left of your ego.
Not only that, but when something goes wrong after upgrading something, it's useful to be able to say "ok, what's changed since the last version...".
No, you do that before you upgrade and you use the changelog to determine whether you should upgrade at all. If you're doing it in reverse, its your own damn fault.
Yes, that is exactly it. If we ignore the technicality that no life ever touched another planetary body on purpose, you'd be spot on. Spacesuits and shit be damned, let's mangle reality to fit our agenda. Go, go gadget tinfoil hat - DEPLOY!
The problem is not the rich spending their money trying to influence policy, that is to be expected, similar to how we expect a prisoner to attempt escape if left unguarded. Human nature and all that bullshit. The problem is that it is possible to spend money to influence policy. Politicians who were not so easily bribed would secure an equal voice for any citizen, no matter their luck/skill in other things.
Well, if I'm the driver in the adjacent car I'd make very sure that your brand new Ford has a shiny new scratch on its side. I'll take my keys out of I have to.
Locks don't make secure doors, doors do. If you wish to enter, the type of lock on the door is not going to deter you. Electronic locks are not more or less secure, it is just a different set of crooks that are able to get through them without leaving traces.
Yeah, I'm contemplating just outright blocking Roblimo. That seems like it would take care of most of the obnoxious posts with videos and nobodies.
Dane Atkinson is who again? Maybe I don't work with stuff that's enterprisey enough to have heard of any of the websites (note that all of his ventures seem to be identified by URLs, not you know, company names) - and I can't imagine why you would need to name drop a cyberpunk writer for added credibility (on an IT site? c'mon guys!)
Another funny thing. Googling his name instead of relying on the source brings up a thin BusinessWeek profile. Googling Squarespace, show the site to have a title "Build a website", following the link with NoScript turned on returns a logo centered in the browser, that's it. What the fuck dude? The link said you'd help me build a website.
There is only so much you can innovate a text editor, after that it just boils down to shuffling buttons and menus around.
Really now? That sounds eerily familiar, like something once said about 640k's worth of system memory! I think the last decades have shown us, contrary to your stated belief, that innovation in software happens in directions we can't quite predict. In fact, it's a recurring thing here on/. to bring up the most hilariously stupid predictions of supposedly smart people - in IT.
Oh, and office applications are much, much more than text editors. LibreOffice, MS Office and the likes are all bundles of neat and not so neat software, surprise surprise - for the office.
The state has no use for money if you think about it a bit longer. The reason the state has to take money as payment for tax, is to pay wages to other people performing work for the state. You could cut out the money middleman and take labor as payment directly.
Instead of paying a set percentage of your wages as tax, you could be required to clock a certain amount of hours in your field of expertise for the community. Of course, that would mean that the rich fat cats get off their arse and work (since fleecing people isn't a workable skill in that system), so in that sense it is a doomed idea. It illustrates an alternative nonetheless, and requires a change of mindset about how we work together.

Everybody knows RMS doesn't have a phone, he's still trying to assemble his first from open hardware made by happy fairies from StallmanLand(TM).
Because planes and pressure cookers are easier to get your hands on, and fertilizer bombs smell fucking awful during production.
It might have been done through Windows Update.

What are those "most of the issues" you speak of?

No, no, no. It's granny's 1930s music that makes their heads explode. Did you not watch the documentary?
Not to worry, they still have patents they can troll with for at least a couple of decades to come.

Warg + cell phone + solitary = somebody's missiles will launch.

I see your point. But liability and truth are not the same thing, and losing in court has nothing to do with truth either.
Paper bags are also rain-degradable.
Who the fuck writes a text spamming bot in 2013 and then has a fixed size text buffer???

How would they know that if they don't have enough spying powers to know that?
Locks don't make secure doors, doors do. If you wish to enter, the type of lock on the door is not going to deter you. Electronic locks are not more or less secure, it is just a different set of crooks that are able to get through them without leaving traces.
Played around with it a bit, seems to be straight to the point of "what can we do with text editing". Awesome :) Thanks for the link, plug or no plug.
