Wine 1.2 Released
·
· Score: 2, Funny
Big sticking point for me is the current version of QuickBooks Pro. It's as if they deliberately try to co-op more of the farked-up parts of Windows with every release. They offer a Linux server (not client) version -- so they know how to code -- but only for their Enterprise license. Intuit suckles greedily at the Microsoft phallus.
Without warning me, they changed me to a 5GB-and-pay-over-that plan at $1 per MB. After complaining, they refunded the charges and dropped it to $0.25 per MB and at least keep me kinda updated as to current usage (never used to know until after the month was over).
Here is the economic incentive to end opium poppy production. Farmers no longer have an economic incentive to grow opium it if the wealth is shared with them.
I predict that will not happen, however, and the country will still supply opium to the world.
Eleven hours after high noon. Before modern electronic news gathering, television news would often report the story at 6 PM and then have the "film" (footage shot on the scene) available for the 11 PM newscast.
You could have said "o'clock PM" and saved 34 words, but this is Slashdot . . .
On the other hand, the kind of person that surfs for porn in a public place is the kind you want to clean up after, computer viruses or not. She's making a smart move, if for the wrong reason.
She should just glove up before keyboarding if she's that concerned. That even reduces the risk of getting a cold. Places that provide public-use computers might even want to make gloves available.
Back on topic: I haven't gotten anything from the web *ever*, perhaps for the simple discipline of not authorizing ActiveX components, applets and other gimmicks.
But that's me; I guess less computer-literate *and* porn hungry guys make easier targets - "Yes, Ok, Yes, show me the movies already!".
I do the Linux/Firefox/Adblock/NoScript thing and also don't do the usual stupid stuff.
But that puts me in the minority and I routinely re-disinfect the computers of Windows-using friends and relatives who are not stupid and try to be careful when they browse the web or install software.
There are many ways to infect a system (even Mac and Linux) and more will always be found. It's a battle that can't be won as the economic incentive for the "enemy" is to great to cease their innovation and onslaught and the software too complex to ever "fix" completely. and there will always be trade-offs between convenience and security.
One can only take reasonable precautions and expect reasonable, not perfect, results.
The attack vector through porn sites is not likely to be fixed (no financial incentive to do it and the site operators likely don't care about malware infections they may be passing along), so you can either avoid them or use on old computer dedicated only to porn browsing (or the Linux or Windows on CD approach) .
TFA: "Both seem to be installed in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Search Enhancement Pack\Search Helper\." Inside, there is a file called "SEPsearchhelperie.dll" that is responsible for the IE add-on and a "firefoxextension" folder responsible for Firefox. The update can't be uninstalled, but deleting these files works just fine. "
Slashdot Mirror
FTA: Cnet UK reports the car can do 0-60 mph in 3.4 sec. (and 50-90 mph in 2.3 sec.) and reach 205 mph while emitting less CO2 than a Toyota Prius.
And thus provides the owner with a larger penis.
A music oritented pissing contest in an image discussion?
Well done, gentlemen.
FTA: a bill to require television stations and cable companies to keep commercials at the same volume as the programs they interrupt
The programs interrupt the commercials, or hasn't Congress watched TBS lately?
There have been worse things in video-games. Postal 2 anyone?
Do not disparage such a great game. How many games allow you to pee on the Taliban?
... and for extra realism you get to shoot at British, Canadian, Danish and other "allied" troops. Ultra-realistic!
Just re-name the game "Friendly Fire".
WIN all around!

Site returns:
"Very very broken and I don't have time to fix it."
Which pretty much says it all.
Have you tried PlayonLinux.com? You can get more control with their script-based approach.

As shame you can only get a "+5 Insightful" for that post.

Don't use the web if you use a Microsoft OS and browser.
Get tats of chicks with big boobs -- boobs can never, ever be proven wrong.
I used to be on a truly unlimited 3G plan.
Without warning me, they changed me to a 5GB-and-pay-over-that plan at $1 per MB. After complaining, they refunded the charges and dropped it to $0.25 per MB and at least keep me kinda updated as to current usage (never used to know until after the month was over).
I still hate them.
What harm is there in disclosing the website? Especially if it is a FOSS-focused one. That's just wrong.
so this MUST be fraud.
I see what you did there ...

from tfa: "More than 90% of the 35,000 pornographic domains analysed in the study were free sites."

Forget the links.
Pics or it didn't happen.

For random web browsing on assorted sites, boot up from a Linux boot CD. Your entire OS will be in memory, nothing on your HD is touched.
No touching. Nice.
