    He is a customer, not an employee of them last time I checked. While you are at it, tell him is a dimwit for not switching to Windows. People, Microsoft as shown time after time that they are willing to hurt their customer base to make them adopt the newer versions of Windows, and they are not interested at all in the business/work continuity of their customers because it is not profitable customers do no upgrade. So in fact, Microsoft is not "deceiving" anyone, they are true to their spirit and line of orientation. It is just you that are on the wrong to be naive to use their products.

    Install a giant screen with free beers to the guests in some large conference room...less complaints and the food they ask to go with it will more than pay the beers.

    I used to say that. And when I travel on the cheap, I also try to stick to that. But then, I had some good hotels paid for the company when travelling for training and work, and the difference is quite noticeable. And I also stayed on one of the best hotels in Philippines, and believe me, it was worth every penny.

  5. Re:How much is due to Congestion on Expensive Hotels Really Do Have Faster Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    IT should not be difficult, change the password at random times or the day, or give a different password to each guest. The big difference, besides numbers, is that guests only do some ocasional use, are supposed to be out most of the day, only go the odd page, some remote informations or email, the ocasional voip call, while staff use is more prevalent. And mostly, this is what I call a political and not a technical problem. A written memo forbiding staff to use the wifi of the customers would be in order.

    You should not mix drinking and using Internet. Who are you trying to deceive? The proper question is whether he is going to Guantanamo with or without a puppet military trial. Amerika has not been a fair country for too long a time.

    Yes, but I close them in seconds. That ones that auto-play videos, and the ones that require me to like them in facebook to see some retarded joke. And weather.com I block everything except the weather, that site seems to have gotten out of idiocracy.

    It does not has any advantage to run Tor or Linux with Tor enabled if you then use it to access your personalised gmail or facebook account. No need for "hacking" by the FBI at ALL.

  15. Re:Kill auto-play videos on Verizon Throttles Data To "Provide Incentive To Limit Usage" · · Score: 1

    I dont have the problem of the bandwidth per se, however I already too noticed there are a new class of "videos" that are specifically setup in web sites to evade your flash filters. In one particular case of a popular news site, I managed to track down the URL where they came from, and blocked it. On the mobile side, fortunately my phone does not support flash, and I dont want it to. Has anyone any hint how to block effectively those videos, stopping short of blocking javascript?

    A similar high end notebook from Sony, for instance, does not differ much in price when you match feature by feature. More so, if we take in account the TCO of administering a Windows machine, OSX wins hand down.

    I actually think they want to close the documents they have lost control in the desktop on the cloud size, and want to go to a subscription model. I deleted the Office 365 trial from my iOS devices and I am quite happy with iCloud...

    You dont need to create new images to evade signatures... Signatures are not magical, they are just for the file as it is. Change the palette, save them in a new format, crop some bits... And there are the issue of false positives too. After matching, a human has to double check and have a look at it. Technology is not magic.
