That with a good firewall, you could block SS from doing anything not local, and solve this issue. But I'm sure I'm missing something. But really, how out of touch with reality do you have to be to think putting ads on a user's desktop is a good idea?

And yet I am doing work with my computer, not playing around pretending my OS of choice has any relevance in the world or trying to play advocate to people who don't care.
I grew out of that phase decades ago, I suggest you do the same. The world will be a better place for you if/when you do;-)
**The old instructions and files are obsolete, don't use them!**
But aside form that, the instructions for doing that are lengthy, and involved. Under Windows, I insert the disc, and press install, sit back and relax. Do please tell me, where is your way an improvement?
I hear you. I work for a State Agency and the use of VB macros is legion. Unfortunately they are required to make things run (frightening as it may seem) A new set of programmers were brought in to convert the macros to something else, but so far it's been slow going.
Photographer here. I use PhotoShop very little, but I use LightRoom a *whole* bunch.
In addition what keeps Linux from being adopted is legion: (1) No support for all that FOSS out there (2) Exchange Server, 'nuff said (3) What distro? (4) you get my point. It's more than just "PhotoShop", it's the entirety of the thing, the massive back catalog of software that runs without a hitch on the latest version of windows (I've installed and run, Win3.1 software, AmiPro to be exact, on Win7, with no glitches. Try *that* with Linux) all the hardware that has driver support under Windows and nowhere else. Etc. Etc. Etc.
(1) Make schooling, from grades 10-12, voluntary. This is a two-fold solution: (a) It gets rid of those that are disruptive and don't want to be there anyway, leaving: (b) more time for those that are there to learn, and more resources from the teachers can be devoted to smaller classes.
(2) Those that drop out, are placed in a trade school, or join the military, their choice.
(3) Stop teaching to the test. I understand (at least where I live anyway) that school budgets are tied to SOL test scores, but it screws things up, and makes it worse, not better.
(4) Dump the teacher's union. Give teachers the authority to make the changes needed in education.
(5) Don't be afraid to fail students and/or hold them back if they need it, but that need will be reduced with the implementation of (1)
(6) Separation of school and private sector. By this I mean stop mucking about with textbooks (religious nuts and anti-science folks, I'm looking at you) Publish fact, wingnut theories are left to churches and out of school time (or college, take your pick)
Decades ago (aka, mid 80s) this unique-to-my-city electronics joint opened up. Best Buy sized long before BB was around. During their grand opening, they had fog machines going,laser light shows, booth babes, the whole 9 yards. My friend goes in and buys a laserdisc player from them, and buys an extended 3 year warranty as well. The extended warranty however, wasn't through the manufacturer of the LD player, but rather the store itself. Paid a ruddy fortune for the extended warranty as I recall (almost as much ad the LD player itself) Less than 3 months later, the store was closed.
At least not yet, best you can do is click on a link to "register your interest" What's next? a kickstarter campaign? Vapourware/slashvertisement of the worst kind.
>>the Belgian association of authors, composers and publishers,....
Ok, so we block all references to anything named by those authors, composers and publishers, so no trace of them exist on the internet (in Belgium anyway) so no one can pirate their stuff.
A very close friend of mine's sister suffers from that. Came on in her mid to late 20s, she threw away her entire life as she spiraled down the path of insanity. It really is heartbreaking to watch
I'm seeing this word used a lot here. "Allegedly", hopefully that means his involvement is still uncertain.
As in, he hasn't been pronounced guilty before he's had his chance to prove his innocence.
on a Nikon d200. For starters, he did top notch service and was in constant contact with me the entire time. He apologized for the delay as he had to source parts from Canada.
Camera works great now (bad CF slot) and I can't tell it was ever taken apart. I understand his POV, and shame on Nikon for making him protest.

that, and assembly.
My assembly I forgot with time, but COBOL will take a 9mm to remove.

Those in power are one of the following (with regards to this whole spying deal)
(1) Lying about something
(2) Bastards
Feel free to add your own.

that the great digital crime of recent note was Windows 8, but I've been beaten to the punch, several times already.
You never talk bad (in public) about a rival who is dead. It's poor form.
Had Jobs still been alive, things would be different.
I feel your pain. I used to program in Assembly and, god help me, COBOL.
Assembly went away, but the knowledge of COBOL will take a 9mm to erase.
Thanks for the education on this. The worst teachers I've ever had, were all unionized, hence my dislike of them.

I've been by your vacation home in Belize. It's still for sale, do the proceeds go to you if/when it sells, or does the gov't get it?
If the gov't gets it, can you lower the pricetag so I can afford it please?
At least not yet, best you can do is click on a link to "register your interest"

No?

you condescending asshole. There is a look you get from film that cannot be duplicated any other way.
Would be a simple matter of returning quality to their products.
They can start with their driver software, that alone would raise my opinion of them.
By tracking down and eliminating all the stupid ones?
Or all members of Congress.
But I repeat myself.
AutoCAD was very expensive and you needed a dongle to run the software. No dongle, software won't run.
Hard to pirate around that.
Not impossible. But hard.
3rd world countries get a pass on pollution thanks to the Kyoto Treaty, the pollution isn't really happening.
Meanwhile my electric bill keeps going up.
Thanks US Gov't!
