  1. Re:This is actually a good thing in the big pictur on Windows Malware Poses As Ransomware, Just Deletes Victims' Files (slashgear.com) · · Score: 2

    > While this sucks for any individuals

    Actually if it only deletes files and does not overwrite them, in contrast to the cryptolockers someone with the right tools should be able to recover most data (possibly even all of it, if the computer wasn't used much). And without having to pay anyone anything.

    That is fine on a spinning disc drive, but if the affected files are on an SSD you better try to get them quick before the SSD does any housekeeping tasks.

    Facebook can be very useful for reconnecting with old classmates and friends you haven't seen in awhile.

    You just don't have to spill your beans about your whole life for the world to see and post stupid stuff (especially while drunk) that is going to get you arrested or fired.

    I just wish folks would quit showing me what they had for breakfast, lunch, dinner...(who cares?)

    Now like the other AC said, Shut up Nerdo...

    U.S. ISP Business Plan for Rural America:

    o Offer gigabit broadband with no data caps
    o Allow a few years for Rural America to get used to having it
    o Impose Shadow Datacaps on the biggest bandwidth users
    o Complain about 'data hogs' and 'lost profits'
    o Impose 'overage fees'
    o Impose data caps for all subscribers
    o Profit!

    Damn! Where are my mod points when I need them? You sir (or madam) nailed it on the head...

    That seems rather high for a 10/5 fiber. What part of the country is that? A business 10/10 fiber connection is $55/mo here. Alhough gigabit service is not available as the whole isp only has 2Gbps of backhaul.

    No kidding! A little podunk town called Lavaca, AR has FTTP at every house in town and you can get GIGABIT Internet for $200 / Month!

    Apple will open its wallet and everything will change. Indian bureaucrats and officials care about one thing: bribe money.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I read the phrase in the description "The decision was taken only after a thorough examination of their application," the source said." to mean "Someone didn't get their kickback".

  20. Re:I Like me Phone on Windows Phone Market Share Sinks Below 1 Percent (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I got mine in the hope of using it for synchronizing a bunch of data between my phone and my Win10 PC. Now that I have the phone, the only thing I sync between the two devices is OneNote (both are logged into the same MS account).

    At least that is handy. Type a grocery list into OneNote on the PC, moments later, ta-da! It appears on my phone!

    Other than that....no other redeemable quality other than speed and battery life (mentioned below). App availability sux.

    My Windows phone works just fine (HTC One M8). Just wish I could get Win10 for it now. It is a bit frustrating with the lack of apps, but as far as the phone itself I couldn't be happier.

    Battery life is awesome. Can go two days without a recharge. Phone is very fast and responsive as well.
