  1. Just bring out the Windows 7 disc and re-install.

  2. Re:Will Someone Please! on Windows 10 Upgrade Reportedly Starting Automatically On Windows 7 PCs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    They take a few years to react to things like that unless they fall victim to it themselves.

  3. Re:Solution: Harsher Punishments on Wi-Fi Hotspot Blocking Persists Despite FCC Crackdown (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    You missed three zeroes, start with a billion for one device, then an exponential increase for each device found.

  4. Re:So, make their decision easier on Wi-Fi Hotspot Blocking Persists Despite FCC Crackdown (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Too low, raise it to a billion per suppression device.

  5. So when there's a security hole in an old box on TP-Link Blocks Open Source Router Firmware To Comply With FCC Rules · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So when there's a security hole in an old box - will TP-Link fix that or will they just say "buy a new box"?

  6. Re:In B4 the union blaming on Hertz Had Sheriffs On Hand the Day It Cut IT (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The Hertz action is actually good marketing for the unions regardless of the law.

  7. Outsourcing danger on Hertz Had Sheriffs On Hand the Day It Cut IT (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe Hertz didn't consider the dangers of outsourcing completely. It's usually ending up in a situation where things takes longer to perform and becomes a lot more expensive.

    If employees are working IT then they also fix stuff that aren't on a trouble ticket but just on a passing event. When it's outsourced everything needs a trouble ticket.

    I just wait for the day where someone in an organization has put in a dead mans grip that blows the data as soon as there's a hostile outsourcing. "If X hasn't logged in in 30 days then execute script ZZ that will run", and then have an encryption on the backup with no back-up of the key.

  8. Re:Hawking is clueless on bureaucratic matters on Stephen Hawking and 150 Royal Society Scientists: Brexit Disaster For UK (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I don't think there will be a difference in border transits.

    The key factor here is that EU is more like a kindergarten for laid-off politicians that are promoted up to the left. Unfortunately they have ended up in a pretty dangerous position for most citizens of Europe since they make decision about things that the lobbyists pushes for.

  9. Re:Classic memory leak. on Software Bug in F-35 Radar Causes Mid-Flight System Reboot · · Score: 1

    Well, it should be caught in an early phase of testing, possibly of the unit itself long before it even gets into the full system.

  10. Re:Nothing to see here on Software Bug in F-35 Radar Causes Mid-Flight System Reboot · · Score: 1

    It's one thing during flight simulation where a BSOD is just an annoyance, during combat the effect can be a tad more annoying for the pilot.

  11. Classic memory leak. on Software Bug in F-35 Radar Causes Mid-Flight System Reboot · · Score: 2

    It looks to me that it's a classic memory leak.

    It should have been caught in testing, but of course someone wanted to save money and then it's testing that gets shaved first.

    Foot-control of the mouse maybe? Oh! Never mind, it will be a sticky mouse!

    If the government wants you gone they just use the IRS (or whatever the local variant is called where you live).

    That's how they took down Al Capone.

    Remove the quiet option or you won't know if it works or not. For me those commands didn't do anything until I removed the /quiet option.

    Well, if no Batmobiles can be made, then Fatmobiles for Fatman. (Playing on the word play by the Joker)

  18. Re:I don't find data caps to break NN on Comcast Hit With FCC Complaint Over Net Neutrality Violations (streamingmedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It will still break the NN since you will have to pay to get the content from other sites but not from the ISP, it doesn't matter if the cap is bandwidth or monetary, it's still not neutral.

    Ban the ISPs from providing any content except for providing a customer relation UI.

  19. Re:Comcast Arrogance on Comcast Hit With FCC Complaint Over Net Neutrality Violations (streamingmedia.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think that as long as carriers aren't separated from content providers we will continue to see this problem.

    The only content a carrier shall provide is a customer support interface to allow them to file trouble tickets and manage their service.

  20. Re:so DELAY the churn through versions! on Wayland Isn't Ready For the Fedora 24 Desktop (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is the lack of upgrades when a release gets too old. Especially for stuff similar to the glibc problem.

    Not to mention the classic dot matrix printers - or the Teletype ASR-33.

  22. Re:yet again another on Eavesdropping On 3D Printers Allows Reverse Engineering of Designs (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    You also have the case of making a prototype for proof of concept before making a patent.

    But I think that the idea of eavesdropping on the printer is pretty far-fetched, it's easier to pull that information from the computer or network to the printer. Especially considering the need to physical access to the printer room or a neighboring room.
