    Good point. Just looking at /etc/shadow would have showed him the truth.

    I have lived in places with both hot and cold arrangements in different rooms, not a big deal.

    So long as I have 3 pedals you can move them around and I will get by.

    Ubuntu does all that stuff out of the box. It even installs flash and mp3 during the install.

    You are apparently either not smart or not comfortable in a unix environment.

    There is a root account and it has no password set. You are the one trolling here, or just painfully stupid.

    Your MS server training should have showed you powershell and told you that even MS is going to headless servers.

    Doing admin tasks through the GUI is braindead.

    This 100 times this.

    You can also just not support Windows if you are doing free tech support.

    Trying to actively convert though is as pointless as the LDS or Jehovah's witnesses bothering me.

    The simple fact is they will latch onto something and go back. Even if it was a perfect replica they would.

    You are wasting your time.

    Do you then have to do that for each thing you install with fink?

    Can you somehow just import another key instead?

    Which means any geek has to turn that off to use fink.

    This is not a Virus, this is a Trojan. At least try to read the summary, I bet even your kids can do that.

    They did write all those client programs.
    There is no other way for it to work, they will not tell anyone how to connect.

  12. Re:No more DVD rentals? on Latest Netflix Earnings Report Mixed · · Score: 1

    HD from netflix looks as good as any DVD is going to get. Assuming you have a decent internet connections. With blu-ray you have a point, but for 99% of stuff HD does not matter. Sitcoms are the same in SD or HD.

    Why would you live there?
    I am house shopping and one of the requirements is FIOS or I will not even look at the place.

    It has improved since Saturday?
    I find that hard to believe.

    How are LCD backlit by LEDS emitting much UV?

    I would imagine #5 would be why it did not make the cut for #7. As much as Apple charges for those I would be returning one if it had a stuck pixel.

    So use a player that ignores that crap or just rip it.

    I hope it gets dogs too.Hopefully people will stop letting their animals out to kill the wildlife and poop everywhere.

  18. Re:Problem with biometrics on Reverse-Engineered Irises Fool Eye-Scanners · · Score: 1

    They would be setup at the same place as the trustworthy stations.

    Biometrics is a bad idea, no implementations can save it. The fingerprint scanner will then have to deal with better and better synthetics.

    Requiring a user to slide a contact over is not a huge burden.

    They do not uniquely identify an individual anymore than having my drivers license makes you me. They like all other forms of identification are copyable.

    Which is just a way to be a greedy cunt to an already paying customer.

    Not the kind of folks I really want to be doing business with.

    Looks like they still don't have a working spell check though.

    Roku or Google TV.

    Both are easy enough for children and the elderly.

    Netflix for android makes use of the NDK and is not compiled for x86 last time I looked.

    Also you can go from device to device without losing position. I currently use a laundromat and it is quite nice to be able to finish a program at home on the tv that I started at the laundromat on my smartphone.

    What you suspect and what scientific testing have shown are at odds. I know who I will trust.

    I stare at an LCD 8+ hours a day at work, I don't see how another hour at home would matter. I don't get any eyestrain at work anyway. If your books have as low a contrast as e-ink I suggest you buy higher quality printings.

    Glow in the dark does fix one issue, but there are still so many others.
