The average windows machine would take 10 minutes to update because of all the malware. Making that 10 into 11 would go unnoticed.
Surely, if you mine bitcoins, then you have to put the mined bitcoins somewhere. One small hack to replace the coins with bogus ones would make the whole botnet glow like a firefly?
You, sir, are not a true Marxist. Marx stated that machines only respond to the commands of their owners. This is the main justification for state ownership of stuff.
this thread is probably a response to Google reporting they could identify the owner of a phone by where it went - so no cigar today,
The correct answer is live in a third world country Smart phones are about the only thing that will work reliably. After the electricity supply, security forces and tracking technology are the things least likely to work reliably
Wait... so you read/. and you thought a Microsoft tool would avoid disasters? I think rapid reading classes are needed - quickly followed by an LTO drive and some tapes.
Ask the assistant. You have obviously never been to Walmart! Hint: the most successful store in the USA.
What you do is go down an aisle of relevant stuff, till you get to the section which has that kind of thing, and then look up and down. This is like having a menu bar with drop-downs with slide outs.
You are so 1999. If FreeBSD doesnt support your hardware, its probably broken. Competent IT people can get FreeBSD working in under 50 minutes, and keep it that way for a couple of years with less than 40 minutes more work.
That is not quite the whole story. As the owner of a T21, T43p, T60 and T61p (this is written on the T61p), I have to say that Lenovo was fine at first By lately they have gone down hill.
It is very easy to switch hard disks in the older machines, and while they all have an Ubuntu disk as the default, The T43p also has a WIndows 7 disk (for testing) and the T43p has Windows XP (for embroidery machine software). The T21 also has FreeBSD. The p series have unbeatable screens T61p is 1920x1280 - great for embroidery design and pcb layout amongst other things, and a metal roll-cage (withstands people sitting on a laptop left on a chair).
Today's T series have pathetic screen resolution, and plastic roll cages:-( Its like Lenovo have hired Elop!
Incidentally, I also have a 760E, made in Scotland in 1998, which not only still runs, drivers are updated on the Lenovo website! Take that, Fujitsu (drivers not updated after 8 months for my lifebook)
Lots of people feel having a large choice of car manufacturers is the reason why motor cars have been a failure. Fortunately they are no longer in power in the USSR.
ISPs should offer a service to block it for you so you dont have to pay for the bandwidth. Of course, YOU would have to choose what is blocked, not them - which is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes.
I envisage an HTML feature where you can click on something and have it labelled spam at the ISP.
Allowing this info back to the scum that served it would be a privacy invasion of the worst kind.
Perhaps some enlightened ISPs could charge charge people double for serving shit. They would get my business for sure!
I truely believe that if the ads were not so horribly intrusive and bandwith hogging, they could/would be ignored or even watched. Just last night, I watched a really great advert on TV yesterday - way better than the program it was embedded in - watched the ad to the end, and then ditched the actual program! However, I have stopped visiting certain websites because the amount of flash they serve makes it impossible to actually scroll though the content!
Please feel welcome give me the standard spam prevention review form;-)
Thats OK - the records will be safely filed on DVDs long after they are as readable as 8" floppy disks are today! (Except mine of course - my pictures are archived on DDS2 tapes (except the older ones that are on 800bpi magtape);-)
Damn right - every Sun server I have ever owned is still online and serving some random crap except the two that have no public access. And I still use my old phones - except the ones I gave out to friends - who still use them.
I want this as a firefox add-on. Ideally could be persuaded to "like" all the ads blocked by ad-block, thus ensuriuing that ads continue to be easily blocked.
You probably live in America and cant tell a carrier from a manufacturer. Here in Europe, we get frequent (more than one a month) updates to our Samsung Android phones from good carriers.
our brain dead government to extradite me to the land of the free to face trial for gong to a website. Its called a "special relationship". In a normal relationship, this would be a two way thing, but this one is special: We have to take it up the arse without complaining.

Obviously. If it wasn't, they would not be using Windows.
LO 3.5 is still better than MS Office for most wordprocessing that involves tables.

Using that legendary app which allows you to write PHP by throwing virtual cowpats at the screen with your Wiimote?

Someone tell Ray Bellasario - it would make a great plot for a TV program.

Your mileage may suck!
Well give up now, before its too late.

No. That is OpenBSD. No clever bits, secure and stable. Works like its 1987 - but you can modernise it if you are really determined,

Well, even If he doesn't, I do!
I am not convinced: what if they were unusually small ants?

Lets hope Youtube is on Windows servers - then the data will gracefully (disgracefully?) degrade without user intervention.
