  1. Aside from Spyware they want to sell Apps to you.

    And don't you think that Microsoft will find a way to disable the GWX control panel and push Win 10 anyway?

    Another factor: How efficient is it - I predict a considerable transmission loss too, and in this era of energy saving dictates it might be a bad idea.

    Well, takes too much time - do a "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX" instead. Enough to do it on the first few hundred blocks or so.

    And it would make more news if Trump was blocked. It's one of the paths that shouldn't be explored since it may rally more people with sympathy for Trump than to let him have his way and make stupid noises.

    I doubt that he would like that. There are probably better alternatives that may even be appealing to the more moderate republican voters.

  9. What is the price of a lost important mail?

    Many have also moved to Office 365.

    But this with having Gmail or Office 365 - that's really to put your eggs in one gigantic basket.

    And then you will never know at all about the mails that have been blocked completely. Those you get in the Junk folder may just be the tip of the iceberg that has a probability to be spam but still might not be.

  12. There is no such thing as a free lunch. When there's no competition left then we will suddenly see such services being an extra cost.

    The problem with Office 365 is also that you have no ability to control the spam filter - legitimate mails gets junked without your knowledge.

    I agree - and the Outlook junk mail filter is smoking something as well - letting through spam and blocking legitimate mail.

    I think there's a reason why the Media Center isn't provided by Microsoft anymore.

    That's the reason why I don't subscribe to any cable, satellite or OTA at all. There are a few free channels to watch whenever I'm in the mood - about once every 5 months.

  18. That's why you can have a power strip with a master and several slave outlets. Render everything powerless except the master unit. That would keep down the power consumption.
