Who gives a shit about that. I wanted them to be sued for felony - hacking my laptop to prevent windows security updates. Potential RICO charges as well.
That's why the top 10 flashlight apps in the Android App Store all need access to networking, your SMS, mailbox, contacts, etc. "creative ideas for monetization" indeed.
No. Cygwin runs everything under one process. This will run separate processes for each SSH session, with privilege separation. Cygwin also uses its own/etc/passwd. This will use local windows users, and, hopefully, AD users.
I personally had believed that phones crashing was just a joke because my Blackberry literally never crashed or needed rebooting.
Now we know you're a plant, I've had quite a few blackberries since the mid 2000s. Every single one of them have crashed to the extent where I had to remove the batteries.
Right. All the various slightly incompatible bullshit in the PC world is so wonderful. All those beautiful blue screens caused by the shitty up drivers - simply wonderful.
It obviously helped make Microsoft a lot of money, and I've read about how the one guy managed to make that one thing work, that made this possible.
But Windows is full of crap, and full of "If you can't make it work right, make it look good - Bill Gates" that it basically caused IT to be shit. This is the start of the 3 Rs of Windows. Retry, Reboot and Reinstall.
Bad news: formatting your hard drive or reinstalling your OS (any consumer OS) doesn't, by default, actually erase your data either.
Why are we surprised?
But we do have options. The fact that people are willing to store so much personal data on their smartphones is just showing us how dumb they are. Why would they not think a factory reset wouldn't wipe their data. If the thought even crossed their mind.
Probably because of the pop up that says all your information will be wiped?
People use it for lower-grade hardware that they are still manufacturing today. Go buy a $39 "unlocked" phone at your local Fry's (search for a brand like Blu). What will it be running? Android 2.3. Which is wonderful.
That is one end of the scale, yes it is good that you can get a cheap device running an old OS but you have to remember this is unsupported and quite insecure. If you're ok with that then that's fine but again, that's only one end of the scale.
How would any user buying it know? Does it say "beware, running unsupported 5 year old phone OS, buy at your own risk" ?? Does it not have warranty? If it has warranty, is it not supported?
Seriously? At this point in time, you are going against all current peer reviewed science on this? You aren't a skeptic. You're a denier. And/or paid shills and/or liars.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you not aware that he actually called for something similar?

Context is everything. I'd be interesting to see how you patch a windows 2000 server without needing reboots.
I'm sorry, but having used OpenOffice and LibreOffice off and on over the years, it's not "very good" office suite. It's barely tolerable.
You do realize uptime dick size wars are now considered passé right? Regular patching is good for your soul.
You mean, someone I may contact to obtain more evidence to verify their claims, versus someone I cannot contact?
Let me think about it for a moment.
What about VMS, you damned insensitive clod!
Gee. One registered user, and one anonymous coward, each with direct opposite experiences.
Who can I believe, who can I believe...

And code will be sent upstream.
Much better if this works out.
Under the new guy, they don't seem to be doing that as much.
People who don't understand how Microsoft has fucked over IT for the past few decades should really take the time to study some history.

That is a fucked up legacy to leave behind.

You are unaware that a lot of cheapo phones, currently on the market, especially those for 3rd world countries, run 2.3?
Apparently you are unable to grasp the concept of "they've given up".
And what do you call a person who continues to support this business model?
What's the definition for abuse? Keep coming back because the next time, it'll be better, I promise!

Every time, I was told this wasn't a problem...?
Did you not see the recent scandal about the FBI forensic lab techs who lied on the stand? One guy's hair was matched to a fucking dog.

Yeah, we are having issues with Cisco APs as well. Pretty sad.
