I know this solution isn't fit for "average user" but I use white list aliases, when I write my email in some website or whereever, I do @domain.com , as soon as I start to get SPAM, two things happen :
1. I know WHERE the SPAM is comming from and who rat my email out. 2. I can close that specific alias and no more SPAM.
Using the above technique, I see ZERO SPAM... like good old days of emailing.
I think it's easier said than done. With 80-90% marketshare and BILLIONS of dollars all around the world invested in windows ecosystem you can't just "scrap and rewrite" even with sandboxing there still will be problems. But I think they are on their way to do it but it'll take time and is something that must be done slowly. At work for example, we got like $200.000 worth of stuff running on windows, you can't just "do an OSX" on them.
I'm perfectly happy using windows though and I think with windows7, we'll start to actually see all the new changes done to windows.
Rewrite Windows so it becomes more secure, be gone with legacy junk they said... So Microsoft almost did it but kept some huge legacy still working in Vista. Now they scream "Oh noes, our old legacy stuff breaks!"... Damned if they do, damned if they don't. These so called "Articles" are getting ridiculous, even for Slashdot. Yes, seriously!
darn it! again with the iPhone this and iPhone that! the other day the news was about how they could take your laptop and phones for search etc. but nooo, it has be "iPhone"... apple must been very nice to slashdot lately... or should we start to say $la$hdot? These "stories" are obviously commercial for "iPhone"
Enough iPhone already!
People deserve the government they get... Sadly, 90% av US citizens don't seem to know that US is a Democratic REPUBLIC... Anything electronic can usually be altered without any trace... I wouldn't trust those machines... but then again, I don't live in US!:D
Well, This was almost clear from the start... as with VHS back in 80s... porn studios go mostly BlueRay then HD-DVD... One example is Vivid Entertainment that decided to publicly back Blu-Ray.:)
Absolutely! I refuse to put my money on a lossy format. We should move forward, not backwards... I mean from CD to mp3s? It should be from CD to "Put lossless format here".:(
I know it doesn't fit the average guy out there but I do my "random" browsing in a Virtual PC, then I got very few sites like my bank in my host machine which I use.
This is good in my humble opinion, perhaps it is time for radio to stop playing RIAA's JUNK and start playing REAL music from REAL artists and compensate them directly without the MA****... er, I mean the record companies as middle hand..
um... you mean the place where my mom and dad used to go when they were young?... no? There are BIG TVs you know. Why would I want to hear people talk, chew, spit and play with their bags?
oh wow... this will surely be a hit. Where do I sign up?:s...this just shows how greedy these media people are. So you still PAY... it's NOT FREE... PAY.. AND get to see ads?... wtf! Eventhough it has a lower price... no no no... no thank you no!
In game ads and now movie ads... this is getting ugly.
Could we please do away with iPhone this and Apple that?... I'm kind'a tired of it. We got it, it's the hype... but damn, what's next... "IPHONE GETS SCRATCHED"... why is iPhone so important? Tons of other tech products have tons of problems. Can we please have some REAL News?
yepp, I agree with you fully. Although, I got 8GB RAM. Frankly, I don't know what all the fuzz is about Vista eating RAM because as you put it, so what? RAM is DIRT CHEAP. anyhow, with 8GB RAM I even turned my swap file off completely. Running two virtualPCs at same time as well on this machine (win2k3+XP) each having 1GB RAM.
Vista is designed to "eat RAM", if the PC isn't using your RAM, something is wrong. The thing is, RAM should never be free. The OS should use it and release it as needed, exactly what Vista does.
I also think all the new vector stuff in Vista also eats some more RAM.
Long story short, I'm 100% happy with my Vista machine. I was a bit worried about all the FUD on Vista all around the Internet and I can tell you this much, 95% of it is pure lies.
Vista64bit is an excellent OS.
ps. Ofcourse, if you put it on a slow PC, it WILL suck... nevertheless, if you put XP on a PIII, it will suck too... and if you put win98 on a P1, it will suck too.
Frankly, I think you are full of it. I tried Ubuntumotmtot... the junk doesn't recognize half of my regular hardware. It is absolutely horrible ugly looking DIRECT RIP OFF of WindowsXP/AppleOSX. Its test video is a propaganda for Nelson Mandela and Africa ( like, what the hell? ) and it fills my drive with tons of un-needed files. It is messy and it feels like going back in time to Windows95.
You are all full of it and you are all full of lies.
If ubunutmmtooto.. was that good, it would have a HUGE marketshare, the whole "Lunix" marketshare is not even 1%!
Oh yeah, Lunix is SO GREAT, that people PAY to use Microsoft Windows. Go figure hey?
Again, you are all full of lies and have an agenda. You just hate Microsoft because they are big and successful.
I hate dishonest people, and you are all dishonest with an agenda to hate.
It should be : "Will Linux run on it?"...I remember back in the old days of modems, some said "Linux won't work with this modem" But all you needed was the correct initialization string to get it work with Linux. It isn't the hardware, it's about the software. Read a book or two, it ALWAYS helps.

Yes, it does.

I am absolutely 100% with you! They can get the "rent" of MY computer from my cold dead hands.

dude... you are full of crap. so many lies, wonder how you sleep at night.
$50milj is nothing for him. He rather open it up to masses so he can "reach out" with "right" information to them. ;)
/. please stop using URLs directed to nytimes? They all seem to need to login.
Also, I know it's offtopic but can
For f*** sake... when will this stop? When will people say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" and jump off these ISPs and stop being their customers?
