Yeah, it can run viruses, but "not all features may work -- in this case, the crippling of the system, immunity to the task manager, identity theft, etc.".
So in fact, it's not a virus anymore. It's just another program. The very point of being a virus is gone. Because the security settings still hold. (Unless you are retarded enough to run a Wine program as root. But in that case you're just asking for it anyway. ^^)
Uuum, NO. How can you have completely forgotten about the vast DRM horrors that got introduced in Vista? All the other things, like slowness, compatibility problems, partially a bad architecture, were results of this one thing, and by themselves not the relevant points. They existed, because every shit and his mother now had to be encrypted and locked down.
The real problem was, still is, and will be, as long as the current architecture is in use, that it's full of TCPA, DRM, and the foundation of the stuff that made people destroy Spore on Amazon, and tag devices as "defectivebydesign". With Vista, you cease to be the boss over your computer. You give it away to Microsoft. Who give it away to the media cartels. And those can lock you out of your own system, or just block you from using your graphics card, if someone found a way, to use if to crack the DRM, or they just stop liking it for any other reason. Because with the TPM chip, they got control over what you are allowed to do on your system. And they decided, not to trust YOU. The hardware remote killswitch. You HDD encrypted with a key you don't have access to. That is the physical reality with every system with an enabled TPM.
And that is the reason I chose to end a friendship with someone, who chose to ignore that, offer his soul to the vultures, and praise Vista so much that he bought it.
How quickly people forget... I bet Microsoft and the media cartels know this exactly.
Says who? I have yet to see a single human, that is not payed by Microsoft, say something that is even close to that. It suggest, that you are also payed.
Also, the rhetoric device of the two sides, extrapolating a contrast where none is, is such an old hat, that you must be a real newbie in the business of viral marketing, to still use it.
The Blogosphere reports that the Internet is close to giving birth to a new society that will create permanent, multi-artform sources of creative entertainment. Once the Internet has grown up to its full potential, the need for old-world media companies will vanish, taking, amongst others, Disney with it.
You mean, because Symbian is oh such a small player, with over 50% market share? ^^ And because Nokia is not already doing a smooth fading from Symbian to Linux, taking the best of both, and making a mobile OS out of it, that beats everything else? That's the reason they open-source Symbian stuff: So they can e.g. create compatibility layers between Symbian and Linux, while still never getting into trouble with the licenses.
Funny, since you're probably the only person who ever heard it before. Nobody I asked here, had ever heard it. Then again, we're no experts of fuck-machines.
What twisted your mind into thinking, a non-elected group, that is not even remotely connected to the constitutions of the countries in it, and is none of the 3 pillars of a government, would have any jurisdiction in those countries?
That would be totalitarian dictatorship. Plain and simple.
Additionally, where would you go, if that totalitarian global, all-encompassing dictatorship, would happen to not like your views and actions?? There would be not other country to flee to. The concept of asylum would cease to exist.
And you just talked about it, like it were something normal... I fear for this world...

Really a great system by the way. (I'm not affiliated, but I used their parts for years. And they have the best support I have ever seen. You can talk directly to their competent engineers in the forums. Only TerraTec comes close in support friendliness.)
The problems with water are numerous: leaks, evaporation, rust/corrosion, dead/weak pumps, fungus/algae, even just the weight of all that water can cause big problems and complicate room layouts.
Eeh, what? I ran a 100% water cooled system (distilled water + 1,2-ethandiol) for 5 years. - I do not see how the water would evaporate. Out of the tubes?? That takes decades! - Rust/corrosion? Not with that mix. And we have rust-free materials for ages now. - Dead/weak pumps? Fans die much quicker, because they have bearings that grind off with time. The normal pumps you use for water cooling have one single moving part, that is hovering in the middle of a magnetic ring, never touching the outside surface. There is no wear of any kind. Only the electronics can die of the same things that your other hardware can die of. - Fungus/algae? In distilled water with a buttload of 1,2-ethandiol (a mildly toxic substance)?? I don't think so! ^^ - The weight? You mean the one liter that I needed in my system, because of the huge passive cooler and because I cooled everything in the system that way, extrapolated to a server rack, is any relevant to the weight of the whole freakin rack itself?? LOL. The water needed would fit in one or two buckets. You can lift those. But try lifting the filled rack. - It would not complicate room layouts. You simply have two pipes in parallel to every power cable. Same layout, except for the central water cooler being a bit further down the wall of the hall than the central power supply.Or you simply just use water cooling inside the system, and air cooled heat exchanges outside of it.
The only problems are: - Exchanging water-cooled parts. (Which can be solved by using proper auto-closing couplings.) - The non-water-cooled parts better not get any hot. Because there is no air movement to cool them. (Typical problem: voltage converters next to the CPU. Typical solution: Water-cool those parts too.)
You obviously have never used water cooling in computers.
I really hope, that that is not a normal attitude in the USA. I mean, I hope that everyone here is perfectly aware how any why this is a really fucked up way of thinking.
It's basically the same thing, as automatically filtering all error messages regarding the risk of hardware failures out of your log files. It keeps you just as "error free".
Oh, wait. No. It's even worse. Because aspirin has side-effects. Like causing stomach ulcers on daily intake, in people that have problems with its acidity. And many other things. Oh, and making you addicted, because as soon as you stop taking them, the headache and all the other masqueraded problems come back with a 100% guarantee. And most likely even much worse.
Just as with pretty much every common pill out there.
Sorry, but I refuse to read the rest of TFS, when it's written by someone with that attitude.
Bah. If you like white and light pastel colors, you're no real geek, but a girlie.
Real men use green on evil glowing black, or at least strong neon colors.
Uranium glass is one of the coolest materials that your UI can look like. The others would be: Kryptonite, evil black steel and metals, surreal dimension-shifting surfaces, and everything from the space ships in Alien, Event Horizon, etc.
Well, Germany has no constitution. It only has a temporary "Grundgesetz" which people never had a chance to agree to, and whose temporarity is "forgotten".
Oh, and German government added a special clause to their "Grundgesetz", that puts EU decisions over those of the German government. Which, according to the "Grundgesetz" itself is "unconstitutional" (or rather, the "Grundgesetz" equivalent of that). And also without letting the people vote on it.
So we have an illegal set of laws, with an — according to that set of laws — illegal law in it. And now for the key point:
Those in the EU, that now have unlimited power to override German law and government... got never voted into power by the Germans. And never will.
We basically now have a, still quiet, but already fully empowered, totalitarian dictatorship. Yay..., or not?
None. It's not about law. Or else they would have to sue just about any search engine out there.
It's about making money, as long as there are retards or weaker people who give them money. It's basically the same thing as with any scam. We should open a site called BREINeters.nl, just like 419eaters.com. (And starAAeaters.com, GEMAfresser.de, etc.)
that certain shows show intent to physically harm your brain.
No. You misunderstood it, and in your arrogance did not allow your brain to not be coherent with that.;)
If you deny that they actually physically harm your brain, you have neither seen those shows, who are basically encoded stultification. Nor do you know how brains work: Input on your senses flows trough your brain's neural paths, altering them in the process. It's called "learning". Or in this case rather "unlearning" (which is really the same mechanism).
P.S.: Any grammar mistakes in this comment are based on it being my third language. Complaints have to be written in my first language, for me to accept them. That would be: Luxemburgish! ^^
Banner ads? The single most important part?? Nah. PORN is the corner stone of the Internet. And of everything else too. What else?
Space travel: no broad success. Why? No porn! TV: broad success. Why? Porn! What was the difference between music in the old days, and music today? Porn! (Hot chicks / boys in pop music mainly. It should be called "porn music".)
The only thing that can compete, is food and drugs.;)
No. That was stereo porn! Or else you would have been able to freely rotate and move the 3d scene while it animates. Which, exactly as GP stated, is only possible for computer generated content, and very hard for reality (you would need a camera for every viewing angle. Assuming 1 degree steps (which is pretty big), that would mean 360 cameras per per vertical angle.
I wait for volumetric real 3D porn with freely movable slicing volumes, with recommended slicing volumes, offered by the director. (Like separating the man from the woman.)

A similar product to displace iTunes would be incredibly welcome
You mean, like AmaroK? I have seen iTunes on my brother's Mac, and it is pretty similar to AmaroK. But it lacks many features.
Yeah, it can run viruses, but "not all features may work -- in this case, the crippling of the system, immunity to the task manager, identity theft, etc.".
