Nah, little Snitch will tell me. I really do hate that Google Chrome feature; just when I least expect it one of the Google background processes is for no apparent reason trying to connect to certain sites.
Makes me wary, even if for the right reasons some software tries to sneak in any update without telling me. Even Apple gives me more freedom there.
Yes of course it's an old country, because it's not like it popped into existence out of nowhere suddenly 20 years ago. There's a ton of history that happened to the same people living there and while governments might change and even constitutions that doesn't mean that the country ceases to exist
Or are you going to argue that Egypt is only 87 years old? Let's just not look at the Pyramids, because they didn't exist 87 years ago? I find it even more impressive that they knocked up those suckers in such a short time, didn't they?
Only Britain morphed into its current state still being a constitutional monarchy, while other constitutional monarchies in Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Spain) did what?
Got sucked into the vaults of history through a dimensional gate, just to be popping out of nowhere with a different population, and a constitution written from scratch? Total bullocks. That's just a very twisted way of making up for your inferiority complex due to lack of history as a country. Get over it. Being older doesn't make you better and being a younger nation doesn't either.
And yes there also is Switzerland, a democracy much older than yours. Just to mention.
It still is a spoiled child that rarely listens to what I say, and too often thinks it knows everything better, in the end screwing up most of it. So with this analogy, maybe Linux needs a good beating...
Adobe comes from a Mac background, that's where they started to make software. They care about UI design.
Microsoft comes from a salesman background. They give a fuck about anything once the deal is done.
Two paradigms.
And it should be open sourced immediately. No copyrights bullshit. If the government has paid for it, we the people have paid for it and it has been created under the people's comission. There'd be no reason for us to pay for it again.
If they chose to abandon it, they should really make it open source. Maybe we can raise some money to buy the source code from them, as we did with Blender?;-)
Tell this Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759) and he'll laugh his ass off. He was probably the best paid musician of his time. And music made him extremely rich. He just hit the right taste of the rich people sponsoring/hiring him.
Most of the Music written from the 17th century onwards was basically contract work written for rich people. Bach has written most of his works being sponsored. Mozart, too. The whole idea that Music must not be paid for is ludicrous.
Even the Minnesänger in Medieval times (12th - 15th century) had pretty well paid jobs at the royal and imperial courts. They didn't write their Minnelieder (minne - noble love) just for "love"...
Wrong analogy, cars make it clear that you have to take action to make your car safe. You lock it.
On Windows the only "locking" mechanism obvious to the user is the login/logout.
And of course to bring in another car analogy, if Windows was a car, the doors would have holes everywhere so you just put your hands in push in the right places and the doors would open, furthermore your car could be remotely unlocked with any multi-functional TV remote.
Maybe that was the format meant for the writers of the trojans, because they'd definitely be on the edge of their seats wanting to know whether their botnet had "won" or not;-)
The automobile was invented by Karl Benz using existing technology, that didn't make it less of an innovation. The wheel was invented using existing technologies (wood carving, punching holes into things etc.), but... get the gist?
It's of the innovative use of these technologies in different ways, or the combination and application of known technologies in unexpected places or ways that makes innovation.
This from the not so new news: Apple offering DRM-free Music in the iTunes Music Store. Have they positioned themselves avgainst the poor artitsts, or does it simply make business sense to give users what they want and not treat your customers like criminals?
Yep, and both patent encumbered (not anymore, they're too old now), but there was some patent suing spree going on a loong time ago. I don't think we want to go there again...
Nah, would be to hypocritic.
I mean what of the consitutional rights are still 100% guaranteed in the US right now? Just travel in and outside of the US and you'll find you have no right once you're at the borders, regardless whether you're an US citizen or not.
It's the downtime that give corporations the biggest headaches. If you have to clean the whole company for viruses, you often can't afford running even one machine potentially infecting all the others back while you're cleaning, so the whole company might come to a grinding halt. Considering this 2 Mio. might be realistic.

Going to a porn site is also pretty opt-in. It's not like porn sites are randomly set as your default page in your browser.

Once the terrorists have taken down all their pr0n sites, we'll probably get red alert.
Yes but the NetherBSDLands are dying...

Yeah, I guess Microsoft is putting them in RESPAWN mode.

Unfortunately the Norton guy would be slightly senile and not notice many of the new kids on the block and let them take over your car anyway.

Malware becomes a botnet when it can be remotely controlled and updated, that's what these ten have in common.
So Windows IS a botnet.
I knew it all the time.

Doesn't do anything on my Mac, though ;-P
Wouldn't that be a great slogan? Now with UN*X becoming 40 and everything:
BSD - dying since 1969
or
BSD - 40 years and still dying

Well, OK, but they could steal the best programmers. After all they are a repressive regime. North Korea stole some of their best spies overseas...

Would that version than be called "Peking Opera"?
