I want to be excited about Windows 10 but I can't. Please, please, please give me an official option to turn off telemetry like the Enterprise version has.
So if you just want to disable telemetry, in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection create a 32-bit DWORD called AllowTelemetry and set it to 0. Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
If you're correct, that's great news. Could you please the reason you think that's a reliable approach?
He doesn't want immunity for Snowden. He's explicitly said that there must be consequences.
It's possible to acknowledge that an act led to good outcomes while still breaking the law in a way that can not be supported. Holder is taking that perspective.
That kind of reasoning should have led Holder to crack down hard on illegal immigration.
He didn't, so I suspect he doesn't reason that way.
Jesus Christ, we get it. Microsoft recommends people upgrade their operating system to the newest one. Big fucking deal, let it go. Reading Slashdot means like I'm continually kept updated on whenever Microsoft recommends people to upgrade. I don't need to be in on the loop about it.
You didn't read the article. It's not Microsoft "recommending people" upgrade to to Win10. What they've done is actively circumvent the people that explicitly chose to deny the Windows 7/8.1 update KB 3035583 that installs GWX ("Get Windows 10"), which is the malware that silently downloads Windows 10 and tries to install it without the user's permission.
I wonder if Microsoft's EULA is a bullet-proof defense against someone claiming that they're violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, via clearly unauthorized access.
This has nothing to do with anything, but I love the fact that I came across this story while, for the first time in months, listening to Don Henley's song "Dirty Laundry."
"[he] previously had made his living off illegal marijuana grows, but moved into prostitution when the drug was legalized." I wonder what the government could do to make him and people like him stop (or move out of) prostitution.
It only takes one bullet, or if you're cheap, one baseball bat. Or if you're really cheap, one father of a girl who was forced into it.
How can you explain Microsoft's Win 10's strategy without referring to a shit sandwich?
It's not difficult, here's an example:
Imagine it's Valentine's day, and you go to the store to get your bonnie lass a box of chocolates. You have them gift-wrap it, and you go to the fancy restaurant where you have dinner reservations. The evening goes beautifully. You take her home, and she gives you a very exciting come-hither loop. You sweep her off her feet, and carry her to the bedroom. After some passionate kissing, you gently start to lift her blouse, and there's a shit sandwich.
Ah but see Conservatives are being persecuted, that means we need BIG GOVERNMENT to come in and make sure no conservatives are being persecuted by private citizens and corporations.
I think your satire accidentally conflates several groups which only partially overlap:
(1) Republican politicians
(2a, 2b, 2c,...) Social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, etc.
(3) Fans of small government
(4) People who think the Bill of Rights should be fully respected by all branches of the federal government
(5) Libertarians
I think group (1) is the proper target of your satire, but you might be catching up some of the wrong people in your phrasing.
No sport is worth the risk of allowing people from your nation to risk others in your nation like that.
I probably agree with you. The one exception I can think of is if, for some reason, having the Olympics significantly reduced the likelihood of war in the following years. If it did, we could weigh the two scenario's impacts on human suffering.
And the fact that "dinner" is considered a perk demonstrates why anyone with a life outside of work should never, ever consider working for a startup.
I think your statement overreaches a bit. I work for a startup where we all work from home, and I have a lot more time with my family due to the lack of daily commute.
I too am curious. When I reflect on why I've chosen Mint over Ubuntu in recent years, it came down to:
* Seriously disliking Unity. (But now I can install Cinnamon packages on Ubuntu easily.)
* Easy ability to play DVD's. (But it just got a tiny bit harder; not significantly.)
* Wanting to give Shuttleworth the middle finger regarding forcing Unity down people's throats. (But I think my finger has now been extended long enough.)
So now, I'm not really clear as to why I'd prefer Mint over Ubuntu.
There's no plan to offer it for free. No matter what they're going to harvest your personal information, sell it to whomever they want, and use your computer as an advertising billboard.
Is that because he wants to protect borders from *illegal* immigrants? Or stem the flow of new voters who come from a fundamentalist religion that oppresses women? Is it because the Trump organization hires so few black people? Oh wait...he hired a higher percentage of African Americans and Latinos than anyone else in the race. Is it because he hates women? Evidence please. Is it because he hates Jews? Oh wait... His daughter is Jewish.
I think an overarching issue is that we don't really know what Trump (or most successful politicians) think.
I suspect that Trump is good at recognizing what people want to hear, and is willing to pander to some viewpoints/groups that Clinton and others are not. But I have very little sense of how Trump's campaign speeches would translate into Presidential actions.
While I think Clinton is probably just as disingenuous, it's probably a little easier to anticipate how she'd act as President, because she has a long political track record.

So you can run Windows 7 in a VM?
Running Windows in a VM is like lowering the toilet lid without flushing. The shit might be contained, but it still stinks.
So running a Linux VM on a Windows host is like an upper-decker?

I am very much not a lawyer, but I got the impression that a contract is valid only if both parties actually understand the contract.
Is that true? And if so, doesn't that make EULA's basically unenforceable in most cases because most people aren't lawyers?
This has nothing to do with anything, but I love the fact that I came across this story while, for the first time in months, listening to Don Henley's song "Dirty Laundry."
That is all.
in the sense that it costs more?
They make up for it in volume.
Math!
FTW. Well done, sir.

What's the use of having all the money in the world if you can't use it to purchase some world class vagina every once in a while?
They can. It's legal in Nevada, parts of Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, ...
Those guys almost certainly could afford the plane tickets.
Please tell me that phrasing was intentional.

Sorry, my mistake. It can't be done.
Including the same ability to vote in elections, I guess.
I really wish everyone had the time, energy, will, wisdom, and discernment when voting, to make Facebook's editorial decisions irrelevant.

The only unicorn i have ever seen was a mule with a strap-on dildo on his head.
It's literally impossible to decide if I want you as a Facebook friend.

What about getting Windows 10 for free, period?
Windows XP user here.
There's no plan to offer it for free. No matter what they're going to harvest your personal information, sell it to whomever they want, and use your computer as an advertising billboard.
Nope, that comes from the fact that only extremely rich entities can afford to pursue justice against Apple.

Why would being a gamer mean that you would actually be any good at administering a computer?
Why would being good at administrating a computer mean that you could disable Windows 10 -related updates?
Did anyone else notice the checkbox to disable ads for high karma users is now gone on Slashdot?
It stopped working a few weeks ago, and now it's just gone altogether.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it's just their cute way of asking us nicely to use AdBlock.
