Why not? That 'trusted computing' in vista is like a cursed boots of slowness -35
not to mention the cheezy 3-d desktop that lets you scroll 'side to side' to see stacked windows easier, all while doubling the power drain on a laptop.
when you've got a fat bloated pig like vista, even suse 10 could easily be a vista killer.
a dvi port needs to be hdmi compatable, sure it may be simple, but there are plenty of early models of dvi devices with no hdmi, so that means it's time to upgrade again.
Well the thing is:) usually Id theft phreaking in this day and age rely on simple 'human error' like misconfigured voicemails etc, to enable 'harder to trace' routing. but with the technology that's available, it takes about 10 minutes from the time a number is identified as a 'phishing' scam to the time it takes to completely secure any assets stolen.
I know there have been articles about peer based communities who harvest all these scam mails by posing as idiots on the internet, and allow authorities to quickly stop any real monitary loss from occuring.
So basically, unless you're hiring 7 year old sprinters to withdrawl the money from your accounts ever 20 seconds. You won't make a dime of phishing anywhere.
And yeah, we can back that claim up:) with pictures, just wait a little:)
correction, sorry, you need luck far greater than luck herself can provide, with various community oriented projects to harvest, examine, and report fraudulent e-mail spam to the 'correct' authorities using peer to peer software:)
It's awesome technology, and it's the reason why phishing and identity theft accounts are frozen and almost 99% of all stolen funds are recovered.
Sure it's tracable, right back to the voice mail they hacked because it had a default password, which rerouted it to some numbered account in some country where the officials are all too hapy to allow a few transactions slip past.
fortunately, the time of trace to the time of shutting down those accounts is limited only by the proactive reporting of such fraud by end users. so usually, it should only take a few minutes to shut down the assets of such an account. a scammer would need ungogly luck to keep an account open for more than 15 minutes with all those concerned citizens reporting these kinda spams in a community based effort.
I know several people who worked hard to use rebates and coupons to make their way through this life more affordable. and nowhere near as many people who simply refused to send in rebates.
in fact, the only real danger was loosing it in the mail. either way:) people can be lazy, but the laziness just wasn't that bad:)
actually, the school is obligated to follow the rights of the parents. so in fact students just need a parental permission slip to carry a phone in school.
unless this was a private school, in which case none of this debate even applies, if you paid tuition to go to school you already signed an agreement:) of course, parents who are angry about the policy still have recourse, if they have enough money or clout to bitch about it.
a map full of baloons claiming that open source only is developed in a few developed nations. completely ignoring developments from africa, australia, and several other locations:) bascially you just saved yourself 15 minutes of your time by not reading the article:)
I've said it before that the best security feature is to unplug your computer and bury it in concrete:) even just filling the case with concrete will help keep it from getting lojacked.
ah well, there are Good security practices, and pointless ones:) security appliances may help some people, but they're no replacment for a certified security professional (enough to keep a 24/7/365 staff) keeping hackers out, and keeping your network secure.
I won't say this appliance is bad, because i don't know anything about it, but it's not going to let you replace that $100,000 a year security professional with a 12 year old working for minimum wage.
seriously though, female mosquitos are the ones who suck blood, and it's usually around 'mating season' which as any minnesotan would tell you is 'every day':)
i remember reading that the male mosquitoes are vegitarians, but i can't remember if it was accurate. still even if that study was wrong females definitely suck more blood, to produce more eggs to hatch more mosquitoes. it's a vicious cycle.
Well, I understand they need a big server upgrade and could use one of those ultra low power*, quantum partial event horizon processors, that actually executes orders BEFORE they reach the processor's memory bank. allowing a double write of the original data and the answer instantly at an infinite* rate of processing:)
* the power is directly proportional to the number of simultaneous particles being processed.
So really all of existance could be processed in a single instant with sufficient mater to energy conversion. Not, that we'd be able to retrieve the data, but we could retrieve the last X GoogleBytes of the data calculated if we stopped it short of actual completion.
would you believe 100 trillion years?:) i was the last man in the universe, about 80 times.
and i spent 28 GAME YEARS forging a chaos blade:) i had the entire end of the universe compresed into a single month:) and i know of the virus and the antidote, and the anti antidote:) and have compressed data from the year 100,000,000,000 AD:)
Replicator scenarios aren't nearly as implausable as you make them sound.:) in fact, they're a near certainty when the right people with the wrong mindset get access to self reproducing 'viral' technolgies such as home brew nanotech.
still, I wouldn't worry too much, as self reproducing nanotech still wouldn't realistically be able to wipe out organic life. they could easily consume all the technological resources of a world, but the cost of wiping out organic life would likely be a dead giveaway that either prevented the technology from spreading widely, or would be so resource intensive that the machines would stop after any 'dangerous' lifeforms were wiped out.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but...
There are only three (3) ways for the "underlying operating system" to be infected.
There are only two ways, and you got them all wrong.
1. User/administration Error.
2. Programmer/Developer error.
any remote vulnerabilities fall under 2, and any configuration errors fall under 1.:) you shouldn't have said 'I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong' unless you wanted to be corrected.
Well the cure to aids is a self reproducing protein that targets a specific tag marker in the hiv virus, which doesn't weaken the human immune system. too bad synthetic self reproducing protein technology is limited to chemical warfare so far.
Global warming can be cured several ways, through science, nature friendly science, or by simply adapting many ocean fusion plants to produce massive amounts of clouds using carbon nanotubes to desalinate the ocean water... of course, you convert the ocean water to clouds, not by heating the water, but rather, by cooling the air until a resevoir tank of antifreeze containing water reaches hot enough temps to boil the desalinated water into clouds:) A 2 stage water cooling setup, where you cool the 'contained' system with evaporative cooling, which is far more effective but requires a lot of heat to get rid of, and a lot of water to evaporate.
just think of it, disney world could climate control their entire theme park, to 85 degrees, and have the clouds in mickey mouse shapes. the amount of energy used would be somewhat lower than conventional A/C because you were heating sea water with hot air, creating clouds that reflected away sunlight. true, this type of climate control simply moderates the 'high' temp regions, and creates a lot of rain... but it's pretty practical:)
as far as disease, well thats so vauge i couldn't give a specific example.
but yeah, who needs aliens to destroy us? why bother?:) do you know how annoying it is to launch an attack on 10,000 worlds? much less one? aliens wouldn't bother destroying us, there are too many regulations against wiping out endangered species. Do you know what the fine is for destroying a habitable world? especially a backwater resort? man if aliens found us they'd be filming TV shows and getting their billionaires to visit the world and have weekends off:)
answering in lieu of jesus, i'd just like to say that this is a side effect of a tear in the time space continum the size of a large spiral galaxy:)
Don't panic:) there is nowhere left to run. if there was something you really really wanted to do, go fucking do it man, the universe is infected with a virus that launches every 2 minutes, and fully restores every system in the universe.:) no shit, it's fucking crazy, worse still is a virus that grants every user complete protection from the only angel who didn't get infected (satan) who right now is bound to only use female bodies:)
this is too crazy for me to be making this shit up dude.:)
Consider how the Microsoft takeover of hotmail went, and then think, could microsoft really handle acquiring yahoo? Microsoft has attempted time and time again to aquire big web portals but i don't remember it ever working out in the long run. maybe i just don't read enough up on it but i don't know that there would be enough profitability in a merger.
they used hampsters back in your days? why I remember when they used to use elephants on tread mills to process 1000 instructions per minute. and we LOVED IT.
Okay I don't personally remember the day of glowing vacume tubes, and manually operated switching relays but we had them once upon a time:) and they were bigger than elephants:)

sheesh zonk get some sleep already
reread what i said carefully, then pay the man his money :)
don't blame zonk, we all know he hits the bottle one too many times and then hits submit :)

for custom fabricating nanocircuitry for nanomachines this seems like an awesome idea.
so how long till we have a swarm of replicators based on this technology
