Has anyone else noted a strange thing with Windows Defender updates lately?
It seems that there are a rash of individual updates from MS for Defender lately.
Would this be actual beneficial updates to the detection abilities?
Or, state-sponsored (i.e. government OR corporate) tweaks to spy on us subjects?
What the hell does a defective hardware part for a niche device have to do with the entire platform demographic?!
PLEASE get your (reporting) shit together!
How DARE you attempt to suggest that potentially literate, intelligent fellow humans make an invalid connection here - that a poorly designed battery sold to Samsung would taint ALL Android devices?
WAIT! I get it now. You MUST be a government official. That explains a lot!
Start your day with a great piece of ass! It usually glues a smile on MY face!
Being a guy (which you likely already guessed), I usually wake up with that classic boner.
If mother nature didn't want me to use it, then she would have not had me aroused. (Thanks, Mom-Nature.)
SEE! It all fits! Mother Nature (i.e. a female figure) arouses males of the species in the morning so as to satisfy those likenesses she created!
This also makes my female partner happy as well!
How could anyone argue with that? Who are we to argue with Mother Nature!
I didn't invent this! I just honor it!
The rest of my day's are always GREAT!
No need for coffee, or any kind of emails.
Gotta go now. Need to get to sleep. Can't wait to wake up again!
If the Russians affected the election outcome, then why can't we do another election?
Where's the evidence??? Which Electoral College members were affected?
Perhaps this 'cyber activity' on the part of the Russians is just 'standard' stuff from them. Like the 'standard' stuff the USA does to all other global states - including Russia.
How about all the meddling, covert and otherwise, the USA does to interfere with other governments?
Is this not the kettle calling the pot "black"?
Is it not that it is corporations that are behind all this crap anyway?!?!?!
How about we citizens actually STAND UP and DENY these corporations all this power?
Perhaps these corporations are actually making it look like Russia?
No?! If you already knew this, then why didn't you tell me?!
Also, if you already knew, then why did you bother to even open this thread?!
A little arrogant, aren't we?!
I might go see a first run movie in an IMAX theater; yet only if it warrants seeing in huge, 3D; like a flick with lots of special effects. Otherwise, I am very happy to rent the DVD and watch in my small home theater.
I cannot afford $15-$20/person to go to the movie theater. $2 to $5 is fine with me for the rental.
So a hacker can still spend for an hour! That's what they do now! This seems a useless solution.
A better solution already exists. My CitiCard comes with VANs (Virtual Account Numbers), where I can generate new card numbers + code with a limit on dollars and time (2 to 12 months expiry date).
If I want to do an online transaction for $99 at a merchant, I just generate a new VAN for $99 (or $100 to account for pre-auth by some merchants) and an expiry date 2 months out, and use it.
No other merchant would get approval with subsequent transactions using that number, nor any transaction over the limit I set.
The card expires automatically in 2 months unless I close it sooner.
It is the greatest thing in online credit card solutions I have yet seen.
Now, my 'real' card number was stolen recently and a fake was created and used a few states away; where it was fortunately flagged and I was notified and the card cancelled.
This 'changing code' thing might have prevented even this type of hack. That is, until someone figures out (or otherwise steals) the algorithm!
I agree! This makes no sense as anything other than an attempt to insight another energy-wasting movement!
Regardless of whether or not reservoirs contribute significant greenhouse gasses, we humans have a responsibility to devote fully adequate resources to mitigate threatening issues of any kind.
And it starts with GOOD leadership and national policies. Like, for example, force NATO members to pay their fair share so we can reduce our military budget so we can channel more resources (i.e. money,...) to programs that educate people and then implement those mitigations...
Hope this leads to a redefinition/purpose of 'cable' service; to that of providing only internet service as a utility.
Since internet service is such a necessary thing these days, it makes sense to have it regulated as a public utility.
Providers can then add on other fully optional 'bundles'; yet allow freedom to go elsewhere for streams. Yet, the connection to the web needs to be separate and regulated.
The monopoly that cable companies have now is NOT in the interest of the general public.
Here's my plan (once cost is within reason):
Engage NATO allies to pay their share, so that...
The US Defense budget can be halved, which would allow...
Infrastructure (and other needs like education) can be vastly improved (like bridges, and internet access)...
Then, Internet service could be reasonably priced, and add-on pkgs/streams could (possibly) be more reasonably priced as well.
Streaming is fragmenting though. Yahoo is stealing some shows from Hulu. CBS is going solo. BBC is launching their own separate channel. Soon it will be more expensive to cut the cord because streaming is fragmenting so badly.
Agreed. And (cable companies) will likely come up with a plan to 'bundle' such streams for a fee close to what separate streams might cost.
It just seems a logical evolution for smart cable companies - if it is possible.
Snyder said if climate factors are the same as in the past -- and that's a big if -- Earth is already committed to another 7 degrees or so (about 4 degrees Celsius) of warming over the next few thousand years.
Sounds like a stock market disclaimer: "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance"
And we all know that any successful investor focuses on minimizing RISK first. Just like (we) should with climate!
If we are allowed to use any gas in our cars, shouldn't we be able to use any ink in OUR printers? Once purchased, that printer fully belongs to the purchaser.
Companies, or any entity, that engages in practices (such as this HP scam) needs to be quite severely punished; to the point that it is woefully disadvantageous to even consider this practice.
Otherwise, companies will continue to abuse customers.

Where can I get one for MY car?!
br> This would be a great tool to clear the idiots out my way, avoiding STUPID drivers!!!
My guess is that the hack was a US government agency.
Unless, of course, it was the RUSSIANS again! They may be looking to sell pot to Americans to make us all easier targets for take-over!!!!
Naaa. It was the US gov looking to make trouble where laws get in their way.
Possibly millennials reading first what Trump was 'grabbing'; then looking THAT up to see what it actually looks like! ;-)
...or perhaps parents keeping up with their kids!
Web Scraping is likely (mostly) Google doing it's job - crawling the web to update it's server databases.
I wonder what Google's 'most's are for 2016.

If you think about it, there are LOTS of Facebook accounts that one can count as scripted, watchable stuff.
And so on, and so on, and so on......
What happens when they get dirty?
What if potholes develop?
What about a cargo spill, perhaps from an accident?
What is the traction like during rain?
I am not sure I get that uber-expensive solar panels to drive on make sense. Is it just me that is missing some point or purpose here?

Same folks are likely to vote for Trump, too!
And you thought Bernie Sanders' education plan did not warrant a vote?!
Agreed. And thx for your input here.
Seems like a move away from copper is a good and progressive thing, as long as it is viable to do so.

I'll go with both.
Based my general experience with fellow humans, one might hypothesize that folks are more afraid of Big Brother than the ever present eye of Karma.
When will we all realize that it benefits EVERYONE to be honest and positive?!

What's wrong with natural selection? Let the strong survive.
Not me. I have been severely recommending against any HP product; due to excessive crap-ware on installs, and things like this ink cartridge scam.
If we are allowed to use any gas in our cars, shouldn't we be able to use any ink in OUR printers? Once purchased, that printer fully belongs to the purchaser.

What about the 'unlimited cookie' plan?!
