Third party? This was *system* files. Yes, I would expect an AV company to be on top of those.
Microsoft. It is not McAfee files. If Microsoft does not provide list of all standard files from all Windows variations (patches, localizations, etc), McAfee don't know which ones are good.

Their site is worthless without community. They are free to run ads. I am free to block them. If they start racketeering or calling me names, I will call them names too.
My experience is, if you make it clear that you respect someone's time, and have spent a reasonable amount of effort trying to figure it out yourself before asking for help, people are more than willing to give you a hand.
Depends on who you are working with. In my case I've lost my time, when developer repeatedly claimed that I am applying wrong patch. Eventually I learned myself that standard package compilation procedure was broken, because SAME developer did not update patch used during compilation. I've said exact commands used to compile package. Any sane person should have noticed that their own package compilation scripts work differently. Filed bug report about it. Result - not a bug.
Or when people say that problem is in iconv and code in question does not have any iconv calls.
Resisting arrest is dangerous. There, fixed it for you.
when officer is armed with 9mm, standard procedure is to fire warning shot first. Not to shoot at resisting person.
In US military rules of engagement allow use of weapon only when "subject usually has a weapon and will either kill or injure someone if he/she is not stopped immediately and brought under control". Level 3 allows use of pain, but I suspect that pain from taser is greater than the one that you get joint manipulation and stunning blows.
When you're tasered you will certainly fall down, and you will certainly be unable to protect yourself. Even when the police officers who use the taser have to be tasered themselves as part of their training, the situation is unreal because they are placed on gym mats to soften their fall, and in any case other officers are present to control the fall. To make it more realistic they should be placed on a concrete surface with no colleagues in support. That way, they could enjoy the random head injury experience of the average victim.
Or officers themselves should be tasered for every time they use their tasers against somebody.
Fourty years later, they defeated Imperial Russia using modern warfare(Well not really modern, they were praised for their great treatment of war prisoners).
Surprise attack on Port Artur, annihilation of Baltic fleet in Pacific after that fleet traveled thousand miles without any intermediary bases. You do know where Baltics is and what it takes to go from Baltics to Sea of Japan, right? That's a great victory in location which is distant for Russia and homeyard for Japan. They got lucky, when they sank Petropavlovsk together with fleet commander Stepan Makarov.
By the 1930s
By 1940s they lost to Soviet Russia twice. They tried to terrorize Pacific and most of that terror was against other Asians in China and Korea. Nice way to create Greater East Asia. Real terror started when American subs sank most of Japanese merchant ships in unrestricted submarine war.
I've never said that Japanese are rasists. Only that they are seclusive. Being rasist is one step from being seclusive and you took that step in your comments that glorified Japanese and in your refusal to identify yourself.
There is also Sci-Fi animated movie where Japan is separated from other world by some power shield. Same seclusions motives from 19th century.
My personal experience, when Japanese developers put code changes into open source project and stop maintaining that code. They choose to update (and sell) own fork and push patches to third party software packages instead of submitting them to project developers.
Maybe it is not superiority. Maybe they just like to distance themselves from other nations.
I can't see Adobe accepting the sale of something customizing paintshop pro without getting some bucks from it.
I don't think that Adobe cares about PSP. It is Corel and Jasc product.
You can sell action scripts for photoshop without paying greedy bastards at Adobe.
osx86project is about running MacOS on hardware which is not supported by Apple. Apple might have some legal and not legal thoughs about it, because OSX is add-on to their hardware and running it on other hardware cuts their profits.
If I distribute a customization kit for a closed source software, when is it considered like a crack ?
What's the difference between hacker and cracker?
If your customization kit does not break closed source software licensing and you don't distribute it with software that you don't own, it is not breaking any copyright laws.
Thought the sonar wasn't good for the marine life in that they would avoid it. Is this a peculiarity of cod?
Cod are not mammals. They are stupid, don't care about sound (no echolocation gift from mother nature) and are attracted to light and disturbed ocean floor.
It's about 15 users and they currently run exchange, I'm tired of supporting it and frankly too lazy, people keep suggesting google handling the mail.
I've set up a test domain and used Outlook and Thunderbird to connect to it via IMAP (that's the right way to do it, right?)
Wrong. You can't compare performance of standalone IMAP client with gmail. Test IMAP based webmail and your IMAP server should not be Exchange. IMAP server should be Cyrus or Dovecot.

Which versions of system files. You don't pay enough to cover expenses of tracking and maintaining database of all good third party files.
It is America. Lawsuits are always coming. Get used to it.

I help site by being part of site community. If they call me leech, I will call them slimy money seeking bastards.
Some parodies don't use original text from that furious Hitler scene. Subtitles and audio are different.

In movies and in any democratic country, pour soul living under some totalitarian regime. Police can't use .50cal or cannons against protestants.

how about long awaited dollar/euro exchange fix? You can't get 1.2 euros for 1 dollar in normal world.
html canvas element does not use Flash. It uses scripting.

19th century when they were forced to open to the world by four ships and all they had against Matthew Perry was swords and muskets.
How much? My country is 10 degrees further North than Japan is. We do have seasons.
After you protect yourself for 250 years, four black ships can harass your capital.

It is also 11% highly flammable and explosive.
Maybe ability to run custom code on gaming console is security issue by itself.
No, it does not. sudo box does not pop out every time you run command. It pops out when you call command with graphical sudo wrapper.

They will be surprised, when they discover that An-2 does not have any electronics.
Rhythmbox, amarok, xmms.
So long, Songbird. You won't be missed.
