MS didn't use the same signing key as they used for the Linux loaders... so the verification always fails.
Now if you find a way to hack the UEFI secure boot loader....
Either Microsoft have done security right for the first time in their very long history of bad security, or it's hackable. I'm guessing the last option is more likely.
Some Linux varient on that hardware might be pretty nice.
Tool Time was written by women you idiot. That's why Tim was such a duffus. You appear so programmed to accept this you don't even recognize it when it bitchslaps you in the face.
At some point every country was empty land. The people came and in time they screwed it up with political scum, criminal scum, police scum, and estate agents.
Agreed, let's also have wikileaks blocked by default and indeed anything else which shows our politicians to be less then lilly-white. Ignorance is bliss.
I think they should add religious content to the list of things they're going to block; maybe then people would start seeing the problem with such censorship.
I'm seeing a pattern here, it goes like this:
1. The government does something dodgy. 2. People claim it's going to far but don't actually do anything about it. People claim that the government only has to go a tiny bit further then everyone will wake up and realize it's not acceptable. I.e. your comment '..then people would start seeing the problem..' 3. People forget all about it and lose another tiny bit of freedom forever. 4. GOTO 1
The GOTO is conclusive proof that the whole scheme reeks of evil.
When MS was on top, everyone and his uncle were against their software. XP was best, Vista was horrific, W7 was full of xxxx, W8 is worse. But now that they are down 11% and they are left to scrap so many tablets, at such a large amount of money, we suddenly are their sympathetic friend.
Don't include me in your 'we'. I want to see them crash and burn so Linux can take over.
Windows is bug-ridden nonsense and the world is better off without it.
Analysts have a clue. What they can't do is predict a chaotic system with any compelling degree of accuracy.
It doesn't take very smart analysts to tell you that a company that have about a billion dollars of kit they can't sell and lower than expected profits it going to take a hit in the stock price.
Also - The sooner Microsoft dies and stops spreading its crapware everywhere the better.
People in small towns care about the people around them because they really know them as people as because they depend on them in some way. Now nobody knowns or values what their neighbours do. High population density causes people not to care about each other.
I don't think the lawmakers actually told the police to kill anyone found betting in a bar. The basis of law is that one group makes the laws, one group brings suspected law-breakers to court, and another independent group figures out if these suspects are guilty and if so what the punishment should be.
What the US has is one group making the laws, one group killing and beating anyone they don't like the look of, and a court system with insanely long punishments for all classes of crime and a pro-police bias.
I partly agree with you, but we have all seen that Rodney King video. We all know there are least some incidents where the police act like a violent occupying army and not as peace keepers. The media can lie their ass off to cover up for the police but it only takes one camera phone and the whole world sees it.
Probably and unfortunately. Public isn't interested in holding police accountable until the degree of brutality reaches to levels that everyone can see.
Everyone can see it now. The problem doesn't seem to be that people don't know it's happening, but that they don't care enough to do anything.
If just 0.1% of the population actually wrote a letter to their congressman that might be enough to raise a few questions and at least slow the rate at which things are getting worse. If 1% wrote a letter it would be headline news and the politicals would be demanding things change just to get on side with the protesters.
It won't happen though because people stopped caring about other people some time ago.
They have a problem with far-right nutters just like a lot of other places, it's really a tiny but vocal group.
You can walk around what's described as the 'sharia triangle' above at any time in the day or night and you are very unlikely to see any trouble except maybe drunks peeing in the streets in the small hours.
Ignoring the human dignity issues, my question is what did they get in exchange for going NSA on their own asses?
Did it reduce the rate of crimes related to the wiretap investigations? I don't mean just raw numbers, I mean trendwise before and after the massive increase wiretapping what (if anything) changed?
The Netherlands doesn't start wars and doesn't join them if at all possible. The Netherlands isn't really racist enough against any group to make it a target of any great terrorist act. The only possible reason for this level of domestic spying in the Netherlands is to keep lazy overpaid government bureaucrats in jobs.
What does a stoner government do with anything for that matter !!
"Duuuuude... Citizen 432B61 just ordered some pizzas! We gotta legislate ourselves some of that action! But first, pass the ClogginBong this way..."
OK, so I admit I know precisely dick about Dutch government, but I can't resist an opportunity to make fun of stoners.
As someone who has worked with Dutch people for years I can authoritatively tell you that you are pretty much spot on. They say they don't smoke weed but they always act like they have just smoked themselves stupid and there are weed shops everywhere.

No, it means investing in them is slightly dumber than we all knew it was yesterday.
Investing in a risk free 1% a day is fishy in any currency. This was an obvious scam and this guy should be locked up for it.
It means they caught a conman who prayed on those blinded and stupefied by greed.
I hope they throw the book at this guy. Although I know there are literally millions more con artists who would happily repeat his actions.
Android is fine. Meamo is an option too.

Don't you mean....
My... god... was Generations... ...bad.
Yes. Exactly that.
Which begs the question
Don't start that again.
My god was Generations bad.

Not that I'm disagreeing with anything you say, I'm just being pendantic.
But in neither case does it make any sense to censor the net, as there's plenty of material out there that they can't censor.
I really think they know so little about technology that they believe they can filter everything.
At some point every country was empty land. The people came and in time they screwed it up with political scum, criminal scum, police scum, and estate agents.
Any new country will be exactly the same.

What happened? Did Baldmer not die?
That's one thing I just don't get. Why don't they replace chair-bot Ballmer with a more talented ape.

MUAHAHAHAHA!!! That will teach you to be a chair throwing monkey Ballmer-Boy!! Your troll-company is doomed! Go make something that doesn't suck.
Microsoft! MicroLOOZERS more like! LOLOLOLOLOL!
Now mod me to hell. I have karma to spare anyway.

So helping a country declare independence is imperialistic?
If you setup a puppet state then yes.
Besides the US has invaded plenty of countries.
I don't think the lawmakers actually told the police to kill anyone found betting in a bar.

Blame Geert Wilders!
Blame one far-right candidate for the actions of the entire government? I don't think so, the problem is systemic.
