  2. Re:you can... on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Prove My ISP Slows Certain Traffic? · · Score: 1

    I have worked in a couple of ISPes and can for sure say you can pretty much inspect traffic even more than people think. Besides inspect layer 7, those boxes do heuristics, and nowadays with higher speed Internet, even match with "home" IP addresses and content signature to detect malware, to try to guess the nature of encrypted traffic.

    I indeed enjoy how much you can mess up with the setting in Firefox and have indeed disabled autoplaying and image animations, not so in love with it being largely bloated nowadays.

    add disabling of videos and anti-cut and paste measures, and I will buy whatever you are selling.

    With something as bad as Kali? Maybe they are just trying to think all Linux distros suck big time.

    Maybe the other distros are not so quiet, because you install a lot of things...Kali does not activate too many things, and is a botched job.

    Any woman that uses the word misogynistic loses instant credibility, any man is a mangina.

    You do not speak for myself, harassing fucker. He is not alone, shit bag.

  19. I suspect there were OEM deals unknown to us were a vendor could not sell a machine with Linux cheaper than the one with a Windows license.
    Even ASUS in the height of their Linux adventure, was selling side-by-side Windows and Linux installed models that were identical externally, down to the same model, but the Linux model had more RAM to justify having both the same price. (yeah, it did not make sense even at the time)
    Anyway, netbooks lived with the limitations of the technology of the time. Nowadays even an Android phone is more powerful than that.
    The netbook idea was probably killed, because when you sell a netbook, it is less one more expensive computer that some families buy.

    Instant virus and blue screens in Linux, great. We also should make Linux patches for it to run natively DOS, CP/M, iOS, and Amiga binaries while we are at it.

  23. We use Linux or Unix to not run a shitty OS like Windows. Honestly, I *do not want to see it happen* *BSD or Unix running Windows apps.
