If you have a newer laptop with no cd, and it came with Windows, just how are you going to dd anything? And the solutions that claim to work under Windows, only one did, and it doesn't work on larger USB keys, which are becoming ultra-cheap nowoadays.

LONDON (AP) -- The World Health Organization's chief says she will convene an expert committee to consider whether the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics should proceed as planned, following concerns raised about the threat of the Zika virus.
In a request last month, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen asked WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan to evaluate whether the Rio games this year should be delayed or postponed. Chan said in a letter released by Shaheen on Friday that WHO has sent senior scientists to Brazil four times to assess the risk of Zika to the approximately 500,000 athletes and visitors expected to attend the Aug. 5-21 games in Brazil.
Unless the restore fails... then what? Plenty of laptops no longer have a dvd, so it's not like you can easily install linux or bsd afterwards, and to install from usb requires that you already have a distro that runs off the usb - and many of them, despite claims to the contrary, won't boot following instructions.
If you bought something, that doesn't give the vendor the right to later on take it away from you. And don't start with the "license" bullshit. Like any upgrade/downgrade, you should be able to accept or reject it.
So send the employer notice the employer has now created a toxic work environment, with morale in the pits, etc.,and that until the situation is corrected, you won't be coming in - but keep those paychecks coming, or else...
Maybe - except that Microsoft already take it as "OK" if you close the window. The only way is to refuse ALL updates until it's safe. And even then, be prepared to nuke your hard disk from orbit.
You tell us. Frankly, I’m reminded of walking into a Best Buy and seeing some kids discover electronic keyboards and their back track buttons, or an old school Nokia ringtone, but it’s pretty impressive for a machine. Hell, it’s better than what I can do.
If you can't do better than that after spending millions... I'm speechless.
You get microchips for cats and dogs. Use the collar on the kids instead.
Better to use them on the parents of the 4-year-old who was lest to climb into the gorilla enclosure. The worst part is that the edited video that makes the rounds makes the gorilla look aggressive, whereas it's clear in this video that's not the case. A copy of the video had been turned over to the zoo and police, so which one made the edited version?
The devices will be for homes, pets, lifestyle, and safety.
I asked the dogs, but they don't have any money for this sh*t. It's not part of their lifestyle, and they're dogs - they provide the safety for the home already.
UNESCO had drawn up a list of world heritage sites that were in danger from climate change, and Australia had the reefs removed because it would hurt tourism.
Between this and WHO saying there's no real risk to spreading zika so please go the the Olympics, it's obvious that it's all about the money.
Facebook will suggest people based on physical proximity, interests, schools, and other stuff that has nothing to do with searching anything other than the standard profile data.
I just think it's funny how my ex reacts every time I pop up as a suggested friend.:-)
Yes but when a burger price soars to $10, people won't care if they order from a human or not.
These types of jobs were meant to be transitionary, not a career. And who thinks it's fair that fast food employees make the same rate as a fire fighter, for example? Prepare for job losses, and further complaints from those who don't understand why it doesn't make sense to earn that much cooking and bagging food.. ridiculous...
If you're only paying your firefighters $15/hour and total hours so that they don't get benefits, you deserve to DIAF.
Ype. It's going to happen at a lower and lower cost point, so we'd better figure out ways to put money into consumers hands or we won't have any consumers left.
Fatties can blubber in their blubber all they want, but someone who is classified as "super obese" is probably going to die earlier rather than later - IF they're lucky. Otherwise, they'll be rolling around in their electric carts dragging their oxygen supplies behind them, etc., for a while before they finally die.

Won't work if you're not already running Ubuntu, now will it?
Doesn't work with many USB keys
And just how are you going to dd the iso to the usb stick if you're not already running linux?

It's only until July 29th. Surely you can stop surfing all those pr0n sites for 2 months? Oh wait ... this is a slashdot user I'm responding to ...

Band in a Box (remember that) was better.
And just how is this a con? Name me any other car manufacturer that gives you free energy for life.
Collar for the dog with transponder.

They're just copying the new microsoft windows model.

She says she's in shape - because "round is a shape" :-)
Never in history has a college education been a guarantee of a job.
Well, it's a guarantee of a job for the people who are tenured teachers, etc. :-)

Only 12 weeks maternity leave? What barbaric country still does that?

Call me back when men get pregnant and get abortions. Until then, it's definitely not equal.
I guess you don't live in a city that has food inspectors and lets the media publish the fines, etc.
