Flash ads on slashdot? Am I just now noticing them or something?
I guess. I don't have that security-hole-ridden piece of nonstandard junk installed here, so it means fewer ads for me any way.:)

Which is possible, if you have a rectovesical fistula, medical for 'connection between your intestines and bladder'. Pneumaturia, or air in the urine, is another possible sign of this condition, which can arise from Crohn's disease, a type of inflammation of the intestines and other portions of the gastrointestinal tract.
I don't have mod points, but I'll quote you. I was going to say the same thing.
but when I finally bought something they had no problem stopping me at the door to check my receipt.
So why'd you stop at the door? I just keep walking. What are they going to do? Ask you again to stop? Same for fry's. If they lay a finger on you, it's assault. If they attempt to restrain you, it's criminal detainment (or whatever charge may be appropriate to your state - this assumes you did not commit a crime there).
All of the activex installs they use require admin rights. You're right, if they download an executable and run it then they still have problems. But it's not going to tank the computer. Just log in with a different profile and delete the stuff. Or remove that user's profile. No spyware cleaner program is needed.
If you simply grew a brain and learned how to use a computer (that is, don't log on as root/administrator) then I doubt you'd have a single spyware problem.
Bah, IE is great. You just have to flip one switch to keep it from prompting to install activex programs. And that's only so you don't accidentally click yes. And even then, if you're not logged in as an administrator (and you shouldn't be any way) then you won't have any of these problems.
Miranda is worlds better. Trillian doesn't even have a "normal" user interface. It's all some XML skinning crap that hogs resources and looks like garbage unless you're running 16+ million colors. Not to mention keyboard shortcuts missing all over, random crashes, etc.
Many Windows programs won't function unless you're an admin. Knowing that most users have admin level permissions, they write their programs making that assumption. I've tried locking down Windows users by giving them lower permissions and half of the programs don't work because of read/write access errors. I can make it work by finding all of the folders that the program calls and resetting permissions, but this kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? You should be using programs compatible with your OS.
Windows XP is actually very stable, supporting multiple networked users (multi-user and multi-tasking), but lacks in that all accounts by default have admin privilege(!). And that is mostly the reason behind all the viruses, spyware and auto-spam-servers.
Whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about. Most users create admin accounts for themselves (or use the one admin account created) because they can't be bothered to go root to install something.
If I'm behind a router which has one address and mac then it wont be passing my internel network IP addresses up to a site I'm visiting. That seems to me to be a rather bad security choice there.
No, not at all. But it's still associated with them by many. There's a clear difference between them speculatively registering names that they wouldn't like associated with someone else at their expense, and abusing the legal system by making fraudulent claims of trademark and name infringement.
So now QOTD is spyware? (that's quote of the day, a service/daemon that runs and reads a random line from a certain file to anyone who makes a connection to the right port).
You can't say you did that and not say why. So, why?? Fun? Certainly not profit;)
You're going to laugh. If you don't just shake your head.
I warned you.
Stealth-braking. No brake lights. I already knew that my car has rear wheel manual brakes. It shouldn't have been a problem. Just a gradual slow tug on the handbrake, then the ass end came out from her and she spun around four or five times. That I remember. She finally skidded into the median. I had the top off and got grass and dirt all in the interior, but I and the car were totally unharmed. The engine died, so I walked around, kicked the tires, turned her back on, and drove off.
If you rip the data from the CD, it's theft to then resell the CD to somebody without destroying your copy.
It's not theft, it's copyright infringement. A crime, sure, but in a different area and of a different type. Claiming that copyright infringement is theft is like claiming backing out on a contract is murder.

So yeah, just keep walking.
So are you going to ask him nicely to lie down for you?

Would you like some chicken bones with those?

Whoa. I never would have thought of that. Genius.

... and a user can apparently just run a system service to gain the same access as GDS does.
That's about as inaccurate as the FUD comes.

You still take slashdot seriously? It's like a michael moore movie - entertainment that calls itself something else, but that's just part of the show.
Whey have an installer for each OS you are supporting? It seems counter productive..
Because operating systems work differently? POS installers are a reason most shareware/freeware/open source windows software has so many problems

I think you need to learn how routing works.
By the different IP addresses?
Do you know the difference between routing and network address translation?
No, not at all. But it's still associated with them by many. There's a clear difference between them speculatively registering names that they wouldn't like associated with someone else at their expense, and abusing the legal system by making fraudulent claims of trademark and name infringement.

I tried that once at just under 90 mph. I wound up spinning across IH10 at just under 90 mph. Thank GOD there was no traffic or concrete divider.

Misapplication of acronym. Don't be so reluctant to accept correction.
still did not understand that a "hacker" can not steal his information from a WAP if it was never there in the first place.
That's probably because WAP is a way of using web pages on cell phones. Perhaps you meant AP? Don't be so fast to call people idiots . . .
Um, sony has been irrelevant for a long time now. It really doesn't matter what they do.
