To promote its exclusive access, VICE published a smartphone picture of McAfee with reporter Rocco Castoro. That was a big mistake.
Digitally embedded in the photo was the location where it was taken, and it placed McAfee in Guatemala -- just across the border from Belize. Now the world knew where John McAfee was hiding.
Project leader Chris Lee says he bought the land in Tennessee, 88 acres, for this purpose. He says he'd like to 'develop it into more of a creative retreat, like a Maker camp... where a school could send kids.' The Force is strong with this one!"
Yes, well, schools are about learning. What does a full scale toy from a motion picture franchise bring to the table? I mean, I can see maybe a bed and breakfast situation, but come on â" a âoemaker campâ for making full scale nerd toys is educational how? Perhaps if the children want to go into the business of building Hollywood props or aspire to work for the Mythbuster guys. But reallyâ¦
By the way, Iâ(TM)m dying to know if this guy is marriedâ¦
I would recommend something like $150,000 per false request, but I think that most legislators, judges, and lawyers would surely find that figure to be absurd for a minor civil offense.
There has to be some sort of fine for this automated bullshit. The price for bullshit "take-downs" should be enough to discurage this automated take-down crap.
In fact, automated requests should not be allowed.
Our customers use Linux and Solaris, and that's what I develop for. I have to do it from a crippled VM inside Windows 7 though, because our corporate policy is Windows Uber Alles. Every day I die a little on the inside.
I think that's great, but the fact is, corporate culture is more invested in Microsoft than ever. Your corner of the world is an exception, not the trend. It's sad, but true.
Sure, Linux / Solaris / BSD is big in Intertube servers, but that's a small fraction of what Big Bizz uses computing wise.
Imagine "The Punisher" if all he did all day was talk to imaginary people, smoke meth, and collect jars of his own urine.
If you're growing weed outside, saving your pee, letting it "age" a bit and then spreading it around keeps the deer and other weed-eating critters away from the plants.
On the upside, maybe this sad state of affairs will finally get companies to stop treating McAfee's crapware as the be-all-end-all of computer security in the workplace (at the last place I worked, it was their ENTIRE security plan--just put McAfee on all the computers and that will handle all security issues).
It's been quite a few years since McAfee sold his company, it's a good possibility that what we know now as McAfee Crapwear is not the same as the Original McAfee Crapwear...
The problem here (and indeed the reason that most of/. passionately hates Facebook) is that the Neck Beards that frequent this Web site simply DON'T "socialize" and really have zero concept about this thing called "socializing" and what happens when you "socialize". The simple fact is that to most of the Neck Beards here, "socializing" means at most some Web cam action at some depraved "pr0n" site, preferably one that doesn't need a credit card - because Neck Beards are cheap.
4. Get annoyed that a court finds the existence of an implied licence, or, in some nuanced cases, that the action is prevented under the principle of non-derogation from grant. Assuming the defendant can afford to argue
Please. Come back to reality.
When in the recent past have you seen a court rule on copyright with common sense?
This sounds like the perfect solution for what I need. Will it run on my Windows 8 RT tablet? It has those screen cover things, so it's secured and ready to go.
Now that's paradigm changing out of the box thinking!
I recomend ShairPoint on Windows 8, and you don't even need the server edition, Win 8 Home should have enough power to tackle a 6000 strong office environmant. You will be able to share all your Microsoft documents And the great thing is the IT support you get from Microsoft - tops bar none.
You're quite correct, I do make less that the "private sector". A lot less.
People have this strange idea that most Federal workers are making "bank" and that just isn't so. I also work my ass of to support the mission of the agency I work for (the Air Force) for the benefit of all Americans. When you work for the government, you work for the People.
About my vacation. I said 5 weeks, but I started out with less than that. All the same, the United States is one of the FEW civilized countries in the world where most worker bees get so little vacation time, an almost INHUMAN 2 weeks?
Seriously, what can you do in 2 fucking weeks?
Yes, I know that all the right-wing Tea Baggers thing government workers should be happy with $10 an hour and 2 weeks a year, but you know what? They're "Tea Baggers" which mean they are also morons.
15 years ago, I worked for a well known integrated chip manufacturer in Redmond Washington. They make very expensive power conditioning components for aerospace. It was my "dream job".
I started work there as a Database Admin at a salary of well into the 80's with a teaser to move into the 90's, I thought that after years of grunt IT work, I'd hit it. I was 35 at the time.
Well, of course there is a "and then it happened.." I got laid off.
Long story short, at 35, and the "peak" of my "career", I found that employers wanted 20 to 25 year olds because they would do the same job, except at 60 hours a week, and for less money.
So I went back to my military connections, and got a Civil Service job. I make less, but guess what? I have DECENT HEALTH CARE, and - here's the kicker - I GET 5 FUCKING WEEKS OF VACATION A YEAR.
The biggest benefit is that some 20-something puke is not going to take my job.
Look, no one gives a flying fuck about YouTube videos of Fluffy and Buffy if we're talking about cute poodles. Now, if we are talking about two-legged bitches, that's another issue.
Let's be serious here, we're talking about porn.
Seriously, it's hard to get hard with choppy video of the "old in-and-out". For the total turn-on, we require high quality video and a nice transfer rate. Seriously.
I mean, how am I going to get my "freak" on with stilted choppy bad video? I might as well go down to the local "Adult Entertainment Shop" and buy a CD or check into a booth (with complementary kitchen towel roll (COSTCO) and a sticky floor)...
Come on people, good video and "personal satisfaction" go, er, hand in hand...
Sure, it's a lot of "crapwear". BUT, this is an OEM issue, not a MS / Win8 issue.
Secondly, is this news? Not really, it's been this way for a LONG TIME.
If you buy a system for which you don't intend on wiping and building up from zero, then you'll need to uninstall a lot of this crap. It's been this way for YEARS.
And if you DO intend on running windows, ditch the factory install and cripple-wear reinstall CD that comes with it, and buy Win8 Pro so you have the actual full CD.

An interesting note on how McAfee was busted:
To promote its exclusive access, VICE published a smartphone picture of McAfee with reporter Rocco Castoro. That was a big mistake.
Digitally embedded in the photo was the location where it was taken, and it placed McAfee in Guatemala -- just across the border from Belize. Now the world knew where John McAfee was hiding.

What about sealing your technology in a plastic envelope with tamper seals front and center?

corporations are more responsive than ever to finding and deploying alternatives to Microsoft software
You are on drugs.
I mean, besides the assumption that people would also probably spell "crapware" right.
Yes, well, I can spell "Anonymous Coward" ...
Whoever designed the photo album viewer never heard of XMLHttpRequest.
It's all about "page views", baby!

Breeding requires a male-to-female adaptor plug...
Only if you're gay, otherwise adapter plug not needed. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Google, Bing, Yahoo et.al. should just stop indexing German news sites. Let's see what happens to news revenue when that happens.
German news sites sue Google and Bing (whoe really uses Yahoo anymore...) for damages in German courts and wins huge sums?

None of this is news for OEM Windows systems.
