  1. It depends what you DL.

    If you DL an MSI or EXE Installer, you might need to reboot.

    If you DL just the files, no reboot. (and no shell integration)

  2. Re:Giant Bubbler on Oceans Could Soon Not Have Enough Oxygen To Support Marine Life (iflscience.com) · · Score: 1

    It sounds silly but we might not have any choice.

  3. Re:Netcraft confirms it on Chrome Overtakes Internet Explorer For Most Popular Desktop Browser (thurrott.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mozilla is no longer chasing users or market share.

    Mozilla is chasing sponsorship $'s from third parties. (e.g. Pocket)

    Once Mozilla has exhausted this dubious source of $, they will sellout to a spyware provider; members of the board will each get a cut of the sale and dissolve Mozilla.

    [Sigh]
    IOW: If you DL 10MB, 10MB+ must be UL/Shared from files on your PC.

    This is easily achievable provided your files are popular.

    (Too bad we can't edit existing posts...)

    B/c this a torrent site, it probably means you must seed for more than you DL.

  6. Don't worry, the government has most likely told the Cellphone operators to *make it easy* for this work. After all, be it a "terrist" or a citizen, both must be tracked and surveilled upon in-case one becomes the other.

  7. IOW: Your garage door opener is more secure?!? on Radio Attack Lets Hackers Steal 24 Different Car Models (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Years ago you could open your neighbour garage door with a radio transceiver and a tape recorder. Today you can't because all of them use ROLLING CODES.

    Does this mean car FOBs don't use rolling codes?!?!

  8. Re:I still don't get this... on Microsoft Revises Windows 7, 8 On Skylake Cut-Off Date To 2018 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    From what I heard through the grape vine MS told Intel not to release Win7/8 drivers for the newer CPUs.

  9. why not use the car's odometer? on China Car-Tracking Scheme Could Allow Higher Fuel Prices For Gas-Guzzling Cars (thestack.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And that has fixed things so well that we need this gadget.

    No but this is effectively a tar pit for their bot.

    While it's busy, it can't harm other people.

    Nope he'll just go MIA.

    And we'll never know until he surfaces again.

  15. The best you could do at Venus is a space station.

    The pressure and heat at the surface is so great that we can't keep robotic landers alive for more than minutes.

    Venus also has no magnetic shield so radiation will be worst than the moon.

  16. Re:USB 3.0 chipset, 2.0-only cable/connector on Ask Slashdot: Fixing UVC Camera Issues Under Windows? · · Score: 2

    So the solution is to get a USB 2.0 ONLY add-in card.

    Or a USB 2.0 ONLY hub.

  23. No, it's about Legislated Famine on Majority of EU Nations Seek Opt-Out From Growing GM Crops · · Score: 1

    Once you plant GM crops and their genes spill over to non-GM crops, Monsanto will lay claim to the non-GM seeds and sue the farmer to death.

    When all non-GM seeds end up with genes from Monsanto's GM crops, Monsanto will own the legal right to the food chain.

    MS seems to be bending over backwards to has this OS installed everywhere for FREE.

    No Corp does anything for free.
