Not entirely unintelligible. Largely uninteresting.
Pretty much everything is Gnome, except where they are longstanding clear leaders, like Firefox or VLC, or some OpenOffice variant.
Visual Studio as the IDE is the only real standout.
I prefer Totemto VLC, except when I run across videos that Totem has trouble with. Totem has a nicer UI, and works most of the time, so VLC is a backup. Same as it is on Windows. I just don't want it to be the default.
Gnome-Terminal is nice, and so is gedit, but I'm more a fan of KDE. Konsole, Kate, and no Gnome registry. Dolphin or Konqueror for a file manager. Suprised they scored so low. I guess KDE users got tired of getting dumped on by Canonical, and switched to other distributions. Or maybe they are hoping for a Kubuntu conference. Or probably just not participating cause their votes typically don't matter.
Firefox and LibreOffice/OpenOffice are hard to beat. And like a lot of Linux users I would rather avoid anything Chromium based.
Simple solution. Use throwaway passwords on less important sites, and break your standards to create super secure passwords for sites that are more important.
Teach a person to create passwords according to certain rules, and then teach a machine learning implementation those same rules, its a computer doing what it was designed to do, what it was always going to do. A human just has to teach the computer to think like a human.
Rules create structure, consistency, something which can be automated.
A lack of rules lends itself towards laziness.
So we are the problem, and we must figure out how to outsmart ourselves.
My point is that the bashware is a Trojan Horse which installs the WSL, as you described. The average Joe ain't gonna know they don't need WSL, they have to trust the program they are installing, the Trojan Horse.
"if WSL happens to be deployed on that machine, they need to start the ELFs."
Still confused on this terminology. If the WSL happens to be deployed after the antivirus was installed, will the ELFs be available to the WSL so they can be started? The Lxss folder is not safely writeable by Windows native applications, file corruption usually occurs. So writing it to the filesystem beforehand is not an option.
Also, Linux ELFs sounds like a business or Enterprise feature, not a home use feature.
Memorization beforehand is more likely to get higher test scores for the test at hand.
Knowledge gets better scores elsewhere. Knowledge and understanding are more valuable than being able to pass a standardized test. We have reference books, we don't have to memorize the dictionary.
Depends on the parent and home school association.
Homeschooling does provide a benefit of only four and a half hours of book work, with the remainder of the day being put to use for more practical experience.
There is also a case for pacing according to the individual, so that no student gets left behind, and has time to fully understand a concept before moving onto the next, resulting in a higher quality education.
Homeschooling also allows self taught individuals to thrive, being able to drive their own education, and further develop self-teaching skills.
Uhm? Cheating is very clearly defined. Most students are made aware of the difference between learning and cheating.
A smart person would simply not see the utility in wasting one's time learning poor knowledge, or studying things which are better handled via other means. Their time being better spent on knowledge which will actually prove useful, or allowing themselves the time to actually absorb the knowledge, as opposed to rushing for a test.
There may be disagreements between students and professors as to what knowledge and memorization by repetition is beneficial. Young people don't typically have enough experience to guage the importance of various knowledge or skills.
Since Vista, antivirus applications have been more tightly integrated with the OS to mitigate viruses which have admin access from being able to evade detection. Such exploits would either disable the antivirus, making their presence obvious, or be detected by it via a definitions update.
The WSL provides an entirely different layer to utilize which is outside the purview of the antivirus. Similar to a virtual machine, but more discreet.
An antivirus to detect infections is key to keeping infected machines under control
Malware which can evade detection is a serious threat.
Most infections of this sort boil down to a user clicking "Yes" on every UAC prompt they get. The antivirus compensates for this weakness in security, but only if it can detect an infection. Though I now believe that these infections can be detected by a Windows based antivirus solution.
Those running WSL would not not likely be vulnerable to such an exploit. They wouldn't need WINE, nor whatever a Trojan Horse would be disquised as.
The ones who would be vulnerable are the ones who have no idea what WSL is. The ones who would click "Yes" to a UAC prompt on a Trojan Horse, and then install a botnet which couldn't be detected by an antivirus.
Though, from what I've just read today, signatures and definitions should be able to run against "%localappdata%\lxss\", and detect it that way. A Windows antivirus can't remove it from the file system, but it should be able to detect it.
I've quite frequently been told I was smart, and or a "god send", etc.
Never had a problem with cheating. I was home schooled, so never had a problem with too many tests.
Tests were rare, so I bounced back and forth between loving tests, and fearing the long-term consequences of failure.
I loved when I got answers wrong on a test, because that marked something To focus on and learn better. A test passed too easily is a tough one to study for after passing it.
Then again, many times when I got answers wrong it was also an opportunity to prove the book was wrong and not me, so there is that,...

What impact does this have on I.T.?
I regularly search for things three to five years old, sometimes I even find my own solutions on a website somewhere.
If the data retention has no effect on searches three to five years apart, on well aged data, then I've no problem with lower data retention.
He wanted his creation to go viral, and net him publicity, and a gravy train.
He gambled, and apparently he lost. Pepe when viral in a bad way. Lesson learned.
Perhaps most Ubuntu users have an Android phone, and Google email, and so the Google-Calendar syncs better than Lightning in Thunderbird?
Typo.
*I prefer Totem to VLC.
Ubuntu is Gnome-Centric. Ubuntu dropped official support for KDE, and Kubuntu also, and so it doesn't always get an LTS release.
This likely means that few Kubuntu users were at the Ubuntu conference. Thus few votes for KDE.
Not entirely unintelligible. Largely uninteresting. Pretty much everything is Gnome, except where they are longstanding clear leaders, like Firefox or VLC, or some OpenOffice variant. Visual Studio as the IDE is the only real standout.

Everyone's a comedian,...

I generally don't trust password managers. Too much power in one place. Too much of a risk if it got stolen.
Hence, I use password tiers.
A weak password for sites where it is potentially stored as plain text.
A throw-away password for various sites I'm not concerned about losing my account or access to.
A moderate password for sites I easily expire-able data, such as a credit card number.
And unique and complex passwords designed to not be guessable in any form for accounts which hold sensitive information.
Simple solution. Use throwaway passwords on less important sites, and break your standards to create super secure passwords for sites that are more important.
Teach a person to create passwords according to certain rules, and then teach a machine learning implementation those same rules, its a computer doing what it was designed to do, what it was always going to do. A human just has to teach the computer to think like a human.

There is a fail condition on the class, but for the most part you are right, I never had to worry about failing a class.
Perhaps thats why I was repeatedly put into AP classes whenever I did attend public school?
Memorization beforehand is more likely to get higher test scores for the test at hand.
Knowledge gets better scores elsewhere. Knowledge and understanding are more valuable than being able to pass a standardized test. We have reference books, we don't have to memorize the dictionary.
This is standardized testing's flaw.
I'm sorry you got offended. I work hard, and study hard to achieve my goals. I'm self-motivated and largely self-taught.
There is an old saying, "good help is hard to find". Perhaps that is true. Maybe I'm just "good" help,...

My Dad didn't even pay me for labor in the family business, much less homework! Getting paid for homework!? What nonsense is this!?
This may have more to do with it. If they actually are smart, and not just cheating to begin with.
Or rather having just done the math, $9,000 to $16,000. $16,000 is likely top tier pay for A+ techs. Burger flippers typically make $17,000 annually.
