    Agreed, I use the adblock plus addon with 3 subscriptions and almost never see any ads anywhere. It's fucking great! :-)

  5. Re:Good backups aren't enough on One Developer's Experience With Real Life Bitrot Under HFS+ · · Score: 1

    I copy all of my non-changing files to a a special directory and have the backup app I use compare them to another copy and alert me of any changes. At any one time I have 3-4 copies of my important files on separate disks PLUS my backups. Cuz fuck losing files! ;-)

  6. Re:Preventing Stingray from working on US Marshals Seize Police Stingray Records To Keep Them From the ACLU · · Score: 1

    Signal strength is an unreliable measurement of how far you are from a transmitter in many circumstances, sometimes walking from one room to the next in a building cuts your signal strength in half...

    Instead you might focus on the the delay between the phone and the tower to get your distance and compare that to a list of know tower locations and the phones current location using the built in gps receiver leaving a fudge factor of maybe two hundred feet.

    But then you also have to take into account all the femtocells out there in poor reception areas as well as the cells they sometimes temporarily put in place for special events...

  8. Re:so? on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: -1, Troll

    While I think your use of that word is deplorable, I have to agree, who gives a shit.

    Giving criminals decades on death row with three meals a day and a promise of a painless death isn't exactly a deterrent to criminal behavior.

    Feed the scum the cheapest dog food you can find and make the executions as long and as painful as possible, perhaps that will give these criminals a reason to rethink their lives?

  9. Re:Wasn't allocation always the problem? on ARIN Is Down To the Last /8 of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    I used to work for an ISP, we had a few class Bs and a bunch of class Cs, I remember the first time we were running low and decided to check what our customer that had been assigned blocks of addresses were actually using... maybe 10% were actually in use.

    We started assigning smaller blocks to companies that couldn't justify keeping their existing blocks but soon gave up. People are greedy, even with something as seemingly simple as reclaiming unneeded addresses. It was like trying to pry a steak out of a starving dogs mouth... just not a good idea.

  10. About time! on ARIN Is Down To the Last /8 of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 4, Funny

    They've been talking about this day for what seems like an eternity... Finally, we can start complaining about something else!

  11. Re:Nuke it from orbit... on Racing To Contain Ebola · · Score: 0

    Prissy little "save everybody" b!tches like you are the reason the world is overpopulated and filled with misery. Got a country of people starving to death? Nuke em... no more pain or hunger! Got a disease spreading that kills most who catch it and no cure or treatment? Nuke em... No more disease! See... it all makes perfect sense.

  12. Re:Fuck the FAA on FAA Shuts Down Search-and-Rescue Drones · · Score: 2

    Somehow I don't think the local police or sheriff are going to turn down the help regardless of what the FAA says. Seems to me the potential bad press due a a fatality should he not be allowed to help would be enough to keep them away... Of course everybody seems to be going crazy these days so who knows.

  13. Re:Nuke it from orbit... on Racing To Contain Ebola · · Score: 0

    If that shit gets loose and starts infecting thousands or millions there might not be much of a choice... I say kill a few, maybe save a billion. Whats wrong with that?

    Of course the results are fraudulent... they just aren't as good at hiding that shit as our politicians are. Of course, over there they just shoot people for asking the wrong questions whereas over here the government pretends to give a shit and gives politicians a slap on the wrist for getting caught...

    In short: Google does not offer trusted individual opinions and most of the reviews and opinions on the web are highly suspect.

    Neither do half the jokers posting here...

    It's like the old saying, if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself. That goes for researching/trying out products too... Besides IMO it's the only way for stupid people to become more self sufficient in the long run.

  23. You did ZERO reaserch on your own... on Stand-Alone Antivirus Software? · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you had taken even just 15 minutes of your own time with google you would find MANY malware removing apps that can run as standalone or as modules in things like BartPE.

    Learn how to use google and stop wasting other peoples time...

  24. Why are you giving them the ability to screw up? on Easing the Job of Family Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Seriously dude, after the second time you should have removed their admin or power user rights and given them a standard user account. Then install a decent antivirus that you can prevent them from changing the settings on and force daily virus/malware scans. Also, once the account is setup the way they like it, login as an admin and create a backup of their profile... or use any number of free backup solutions to create nightly backups and/or create nightly/daily restore points.

    I hate to tell you this, but knowing what you know about how they use their computer, it's YOUR fault that they keep having this problem. 99% of the time you can prevent bad users from creating these problems or at least make the recovery a heck of a lot easier on yourself.

    Buy a sysadmin for dummies book or something, learn a little about backups and malware/virus prevention. Learn to tell your users that it's for their own good(as well as yours). And if they don't like it, tell them to ask somebody else for help(a little harder with family, but still VERY effective to get your point accross).

  25. We need more severe penalties... on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1
