This week 2 people I know that is using ymail sent me spam messages because their Yahoo email accounts were hacked. One other person told me they went to their yahoo mail and the site looked "different and wierd" so they refrained from logging in. There must have been a big hack on yahoo last weekend or early this week.
While I believe subscribing to any ideology is an execise in the lack of thinking. There is a lot that can be said about so called conservative places to live. They tend to try to use the police power of goverment to force people to live the way they dictate they should live. They tend legislate their religious ideology onto the rest of the people. Banning alcohol sales, Banning sexual aids, Banning well accepted medical procedures, Banning same sex marriage, Pushing to restrict commerce on Sundays, Pushing to ban contraceptives. Pushing for display of their religious memorabilia in goverment building etc. the list goes on and on.
Well given that one sixth of China's farmland is contaminated with heavy metals this is not surprising. read the lables on everythng before you buy it. Stay far from any foodstuff that is produced in China. The corner cutting culture in China is pervasive. Melamine in milk, Fake Honey, the list goes on and on.
is not standard practice for people cajoled into buying Monsanto products. Traditionally however that is what farmers do. You seem like a shill of some kind to say just garbage....wow.
The free market will fix it. All we need are consumers to vote with their wallet and decide if they want to buy Monsanto based products or avoid them....wait...
I think the arguement that he asked for an example is a big lie. From what I saw the Roundup-Ready (tm)(r) Monsanto contaminated canola plants were discovered growing outside is property and his property was contaminated by direct seed drift. Do you guys work for a PR firm contracted by Monsanto? Or are you directly employed by Monsanto? Monsanto has been known to hire PR trolls to spread propoganda online in discussions of GMO and Monsanto.
This is the boiler-plate canned response from Monsanto Public Relations when they get called out on their GMO contaminating non GMO and organic fields and abusing patents to intimidate small farmers and seed cleaners out of business. Its boilerplate give it a rest already. People aren't going to swallow you PR attempt here. If I could avoid purchasing products based on Monsanto products I would. These people are slime.
Yes by taking somebody else's idea and modifying it and putting thier logo and tradmark on it then selling for 4 times the price while claiming they invented the paradigm and sueing world + dog out of the market.... Innovation.
its a matter of putting and operating system on the calculator that will allow you to check email or browse the web or play games. none of that is what defines whether it is a computer or not. If it can compute its a computer. if it can compute and its personal its a personal computer.
a personal computer. If its personal and it computes then its a personal computer. That my friends includes pocket calculators. If it has a CPU or processor its a computer. If its for personal use then its a personal computer. The arguement here on whether a tablet is a PC or a phone is a PC is moot. They all have processors, they all are personal and they all compute. End of story. It doesn't matter what the task the PC was designed for or the form factor for that matter (General purpose personal computing or smartphone) they all are still personal computers because they are personal and they compute. Eventually people will be able to do their general purpose personal computing on a smartphone which isn't really a phone anyway. smartphones are personal pocket computers with a radio modem and phone app.
I'm sure you remember the time when people came to you because they wanted a computer to "get on the internet" I do. That also helped to drive the PC bubble in the consumer space. Now-a-days you don't need a PC to "get on the internet", "get my email", and "browse the World Wide Web" anymore. People now buy laptops because its needed for three main reasons 1) school or 2) work. 3) creativity/productivity. If they don't need it for those reasons then they stick with their smartphone or maybe get a tablet. In the age of cheap tablets the PC will no longer be the primary Internet access device further driving down sales of the PC/Laptop for the sole purpose of basic internet access.
Good point. The "asian eyes" is supposedly a mutation related to early people from Siberia region. Supposedly the shape of their eyes help protect from snow blindness and keeps their eyes warm. etc.
Ms has always tried to get popular FOSS applications running decent on their platform in a futile attempt to negate the need to run GNU/Linux for those said apps. Then when Linux became the killer app Ms went out of their way to accomodate Linux on their hyper-v system. This is not because they want Linux or FOSS around in the marketplace. They know that if they do not accomodate FOSS their system will become more and more marginalized by emerging tech.
Its possible that Apple's Jobs threatened the others with software-patent lawsuits also as they did with Palm and they complied after all Google is no known for being a patent hoarder so probably would have capitulated to Steve's demands.
Stephen Heymann is to "computer crime" prosecutorial zealotry like China is to Expionage hacking.
Stephen Heymann is the poster child for this kind of overreach when it comes to prosecuting so called "computer crimes"
He has written papers and lobbied for more harsher penalities and easier access to data without a warrant to prosecute "computer criminals"
The problem here is Stephen Heymann. He is the real zealous procsecutor here
He has been on a crusade for years for "computer crime" juicy publicty
I remember about a week or so ago Anonymous leaked some long diatribe written by Stephen Heymann about lowering the bar on what defines computer crimes etc. I can't find it now. This guy is on a crusade to make a name for himlself.
Yeah I would say that's a bit easier and faster to fix that problem on Linux than on Windows. At least you can copy paste.
On Windows fixing a similar Steam install problem
Windows Vista/7: Click Start, then type "regedit" in the Start Search Bar and press enter.

I'm not sure of the numbers but I know at least two other people like me who were avid gamers but quit playing as much when we switched to Linux and now that Steam is out on Linux we are buying and playing more games than we have played in years. I used to play UT religiously for example and purchased every version since the original Unreal all the way up to UT2004 at full price on release day. When UT3 came out I patiently waited for the Linux version that never materialized. I still play the Linux version of UT2004 from time to time but not much anymore.
I think your point has some validty to it. This even manifests it self at a smaller case in the Western world. Look at the US for instance. When you go into the bible belt they breed up the place like rats. Ignorance=breed,breed,breed. it may seem that ingnorance to a certain extent is good for procreation.

a Valve lets the Steam out.

How about you provide proof that you don't work for Monsanto or any PR agency retained by them. Your relentless defence of them here speaks otherwise.

Damn! and i was just looking for a system for my house and my mom's house.

His hypocrisy was unparalled. Screaming for standards while trying out proprietary Sony and co. among other things.
