Most GNU/Linux systems (and I assume but cannot really say for sure about Mac OS X) will not just execute an arbitrary file that you download. Generally you have to at least set execute permissions on the file to get it to run, or feed it to its interpreter on its own (if it is a script). Additionally, for a secure desktop, one would generally set "noexec" on the home directories partition, so that users cannot just execute random code.
Compressing the files before sending them gets around the victim having to set it as executable.
Using a shell script and telling the user to run it from/bin/sh will get around noexec.
When the majority of boxes run GNU/Linux we will still have to deal with clueless lusers rooting their boxes.
I normally never respond to cowards but maybe you will read this. Most people where I live who drive trucks or SUVs never use them to carry anything.
Most drive them because they think they need a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the snow. If they didn't drive in the middle of the road, I would pass them all with my Mustang as they drive even slower than the cars.
My DSL modem intercepts ports 21,23, and 80 from the WAN side. That started when the ISP did a remote firmware update to the modem.
I thought they were blocking the ports until I figured out what they did. It was simple to bypass, and I was able to run my web-server on port 80 again.
For my needs I upgrade monitors in between motherboard upgrades. I just bought a 25" LCD, slid my 23" LCD over to my middle screen, and slid the 17" 3x4 LCD to replace a CRT.
Do they even make 250GB hard drives anymore? With an upgrade I usually grab the second from highest size. My last one a few years ago was 1.5 TB. Maybe you mean a 10K drive. That would make sense then.
The OS for me is free. I guess there are some who want to pay for one.
Another extra expense for me when upgrading would be another video card. I will be choosing a mother board that takes 3 video cards and I only have 2.
And last maybe a new power supply, but I think my 1000 watt will be good for next time.
If I have to look up the command line syntax every time I want to make a link, it's a lot slower than just using the GUI method. I have to figure out what to type in the search engine, and sort through for something that tells me how to do exactly what I want to do.
If you want to use the command line getting a reference book like "Linux in a nutshell" or what ever OS you have will make the command line second nature. Also "program name" --help will get you quick answers on how to use it.
Another problem is long paths to directories. Sure, typing ~/Pictures is easy enough, but what if it's ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools (random example), or something worse. It is hard to accurately remember and type long paths in the command line, but with the GUI there is no chance for mistakes assuming you don't have multiple files with very similar names.
Tab auto complete is the way to go with file names. Type the first few letters and it will complete or tell you the possible solutions. I also use a script in nautilus that opens a shell in the present directory.
As a good geek I have tried using Microsoft windows many times. On the desktop I have found the lack of software and an easy way to find and to install it a big deterrent. I find it to easy to find and install apps from a centralized repository. The inability of xp or 7 to run printers without searching for drivers a irritating experience.
On the server side the seaming inability to run it with a remote terminal makes it a no go from the start. MS-DOS doesn't seem to have the power of Bash or Korn.
I didn't think slashdotters could be so stupid. The acceleration of gravity is "g". Period. It is not "g" times the weight of the object. The weight is irrelvant.
I never realized that the mass ( I am assuming that you meant mass instead of weight) of the object and its associated inertia are rendered null by gravity. That means that inertia and gravity are related or gravity supersedes inertia. I guess if I understood Einstein's theories better this would make sense.
I am planning to try this with my current video watching screen when I replace it. I guess I got a good one because it is fine viewing at even extreme vertical angles. It will be my middle monitor so it doesn't matter much anyway.
Figuring out how to make the present stand work vertically will be the hard part.
Of course don't forget everyone is different. One of the things that I liked about Ubuntu when it first came out was the pleasant brown theme. Lately the default theme is too bright for me so I use dark room now.
When ever I use a desktop environment with a blue theme I cringe. It must remind me of the first GUI OS I used, Microsoft windows 98.
There are plenty of over the air broadcasts which are 1080i. All old TV antennas are digital and HD compatible. It is just hype that you need a new one.
The problem with Patrick Stewart being in the movie was that he was playing an "ugly lump of a man". P.H. Moriarty fit better but still not ugly enough.
In the Children of Dune miniseries Jessica, Idaho, and Stilgar were played by different actors. The first miniseries would have been better with the later actors in my opinion.

A safety deposit box is generally locked at death. It is a bad place to put wills or other after death paperwork.

Silly me, I figured that older versions of Microsoft windows couldn't remap keys, otherwise no one would ever complain about useless or problem keys.
Just ask your IT department to map the keys out. That is if the OS was released after 2001. If not your probably out of luck.

It is probably because he is tailgating.
Did you ever think it might be your sound card?
I've always been able to hear high pitches no one else could, like the whine of a CRT high voltage.
Now I fail all those high frequency tests and I have been wondering if it is my real tech audio that crashes when ever there is high CPU usage.
With this story I will add a sound card and will have to retest.

Your forgetting that the rest of the world mostly drives cars with a proper transmission and a clutch giving them more control over the car.
I hope they didn't use my hack where I type in 790 and get all the money I want.
Ah no serial console connection. I had to put in a video card once and then pulled it after the OS was installed.
Video card on a server?
I'm confused.
There are extensions for Chrome now. There is no Noscript but others you mentioned are there.
Google has repositories where you can get nightly builds of Chromium ( I believe) and weekly builds of Chrome.

I saw a great idea in a doctors office. They had wide screen monitors turned on their sides with a special mount. They said it was great for reading.
More importantly is it going to remove 64 bit Flash and replace it with the release 32 bit version on my next update?
If so then moving back to Chromium is the only hope I think.
Funny that both teams named it "Project Icarus". I wonder if that is why the stories Icarus had that irritating Sun front page in the later photos.
The first computer I used was an Apple][, second was a C64, third was a micro running CP/M, fourth was a Vax mini, and Fifth an IBM Mainframe.
The first computer I owned was an IBM PC clone (8080) running MSDOS 5.something. The second was my first running a GUI, which was Win98.
