I found a list of KB's _NOT_ included, and a.XLS list of the files in the update, but those were the actual files of the updates, not the KB-update packages listed here: https://support.microsoft.com/...
Yeah, but that was due to normal player frustration and immersion in the game, not out of disgust that you'd been suckered into a useless time-wasting session of having your soul and money sucked up.
Well, Deutche Telekom is (or was) the German State telephone company, kind of like the Post Office in Britain, owned and operated by the government. They have many subsidiary companies, in the U.S. we know them as T-Mobile and T-Systems.
So, they are one step closer to ease of mass surveillance than we are in the US, in that the "cloud" data or whatever is _already_ in the German Gov't.'s hands, basically.
Usually they hold your final pay, a good recommendation, or a big severance bonus over your head, and you won't get it unless you "volunteer" to "train" your replacement.
Needless to say, the quality of such training is usually for shit; as the forced trainer has absolutely no interest in passing along their acquired knowledge and is only there because of the threats made, implied or real.
The model I got is called Sentry II and it was a bit over $50.00. There are several models out there and this looked like it had the best features of all of them available at the time.
Ehh. To me the most important feature is my phone not ringing with annoying, intrusive, unwanted sales or other annoying calls. Wasting their time is a plus, but not my primary objective.
Neither will the system in the summary. The advanced call blockers do everything stated in the summary with the exception of the last sentence, they don't jabber or press buttons randomly.
They operate in two modes, whitelist only smart mode and white/black list or training mode. In the training mode everything rings through except black listed numbers. You manually indicate white or black list status to the device for a few weeks for incoming calls. Then, once you have built a whitelist database up, you put it in smart mode. That only allows whitelist calls through, and anything else gets answered with a prompt to be put through if you are a human caller.
Rejected calls and "no caller ID", "anonymous" and "unknown" are all automatically blocked. I have one and I'm very happy with it, and no I don't work for either a manufacturer of them or Amazon.
Although it doesn't maximize the time-wasting aspect of annoying the incoming callers, it at least answers and hangs up on them, so it costs them their dime.
Anyway, most telemarketers use Entropy mass dialers that call 10 numbers at a time and only transfer the one that answers to a live agent, so 9 out of 10 times you're bot is only hassling another bot.
One of them used to; I can't remember if it was AdBlock or NoScript, but one of them had a "load ads but don't display" mode instead of the usual "deny ads completely" mode.
It was for sites that could detect whether or not the ad components were accepted for download by your machine - which I remember a few sites did early on, even before this whole war got rolling. Not many but enough did, they felt that option was necessary, and I remember having to turn it on (off?) because at least one of the sites I visited regularly required it.
I just went and looked at the ABP and NoScript options and I don't seem to be able to find that feature any more, so either they removed it or turned it on full-time. I'm guessing it was the latter, but somehow the sites can still detect whether or not you are using some kind of ad-blocking technology.

I would add to that:
KB3075851 prepares system for upgrade to Windows 10, Windows Update Client Update Allows Windows 10 install Win7, Svr2008r2
New Nonsense, updated 3/10/2016 - KB3123862 "Updates capabilities to upgrade Win8.1 and Win7".
If you have IE11 - KB3139929 and KB3146449 try to patch IE11 for Win7 and Win8 with ads for win10.
Where did you find this?

Yes there was an update for Server 2008 as well as W7 32 and 64 bit. They are distributed as .MSU files, not .ISO.
Um, last line (it's hard to concentrate that long, I know...) of TFA:
"The flaws were fixed in 7-Zip 16.00, which was released Tuesday."
Maybe we can get Sir David to change his name to Sir David McBoatface? What then?
Yeah, but that was due to normal player frustration and immersion in the game, not out of disgust that you'd been suckered into a useless time-wasting session of having your soul and money sucked up.
Coming later this week; Other impossible things that are to be criminalized!

2) Absolute Zero
3) Black Holes
4) Parallel Lines
5) A wide variety of Perpetual Motion Machines
We don't want them terrists to be violatin' the laws of Thermodynamics, Information Theory, etc. by using any of these things, um, improperly.

Nah, call it the FBiPhone!
You mean you're expecting Windows 10 will actually OBEY it's own hosts file?
Awww, that's so cute!
Yeah, fuck them and their paywall. Didn't read, didn't care enough to try to bypass it. Get used to that, Forbes...

You can buy one of these for $50.00 from Amazon, and they have been around for a few years. Not so amazing...
The "Double Irish" was pioneered by Apple in the late 1980's. They did so well, Google copied their tax-avoidance model. Look it up.
Fuck you PC cocksuckers.
I'm outta this shithole.
With some luck, he'll be in need of his own VERY expensive pills soon...

It's true. Chicago is the most beautiful shade of purple around this time of year.

I've known a few. Whenever they are around, everything intelligent seems to get sucked away.

Plus, if you order early, you can get it wrapped in gift-Papist.
Man, I didn't think they'd go that far!
