running a bbs required some dedication, i ran a 2 node bbs and that cost me a lot of money. as a high school student, all the money i could earn went into it. you wouldn't and couldn't do it, unless you were really dedicated. it was worth it though, i loved the interaction with users. when i first got a demo from the internet, i was not impressed - because i couldn't interact with the user...
Anybody know of an alternative that i can trust. I really like the concept of WoT, i don't use it myself, but for other people it is a great aid to warn them that clicking on a link is safe or not.
Does Hollywood have something against Paul Verhoeven? All his movies are being remade (robocop, total recall, now starship troopers), while they are all perfectly fine. If anything, there's a bunch of OTHER movies which could perhaps benefit from a remake, so why pick on Verhoeven?
this security issue is found, reported, confirmed to be exploited in the wild. yet MS will release a patch next week...
no comments on this? i mean, that local exploit on linux (dirty cow) was patched in an instant and every major distro had the patch available within a day.
It's because you come from one platform and move to another you're missing certain apps. I went from DOS to Linux and when i bought a Mac many years ago i eventually installed Linux on it because i was missing all my apps i had in Linux. So, in my case, MacOS was missing apps, apps & apps.
that pretty much sucks to keep it hidden for 5 months. all the while releasing a windows vulnerability before a patch is out. sounds like double standards to me.
so no more blind typing, this adjustable key-bar at the top will have keys displayed depending on the app, so you will have to look each time what it's displaying now, instead of just knowing where the key will be (because it has always been there).
I assume the conclusion the school made applies to the government as well. People probably already report a lot of stuff to the police and no secret systems are needed that spy on us. The problem is that the information that people provide to the correct instances is probably not processed properly and mostly gone to waste. You hear it all the time, purpetrator was known by the police, people reported x & y to authorities, sometimes even between internal divisions of the communication is not getting through. Maybe they should improve this, they would gain more then they probably realise.
those floppies are tough as nails. stuck one between the door, still worked. my floppies were all around the place, on the ground (being walk on, chairs put on them), continued to work. just got me some old c64 drives from storage somewhere for free, put a disk in them, it still works.
that's what i've been saying all along about android, it should have followed the package model of normal linux distro's and it would have been just fine. now they created this windows-monolithic version of linux and it sux. people who say it can't be done because reasons, why does it work with chromebooks then? they have intel and arm versions, different vendors, etc.
And i don't get it, where does this 'every man for himself' culture come from? Looking at any american war movie, it's never about one guy, but a team, leaving nobody behind, caring for the other even to your own demise etc. Seems this view is only valid in the army or something, and in the real life you're left to die alone...
one of the best things about a steam machine is that it is as expensive as you want it to be. you can build one, cheap as dirt and it will be just fine for a lot of games. certainly if you are into indie gaming, for example. or you could go nuts and spend a few thousand €/$ on one. the choice is yours.
I wanted a computer so bad, but it was expensive at the time and my parents couldn't afford one. they did inlist me in a programming class, i joined as a the only kid amongst adults. this was during the boom of the 8bit home computers, so they teached basic. i started writing programs with pencil & paper because i still didn't have a computer. after a year or so, with some funding from other family members a computer was bough (a typical 8 bit, Amstrad CPC464, awesome) and i finally could type in all those programs i made! other computers followed, programming languanges changed, i evolved along.
If you have no other choice, then upgrade to windows 10 and install the linux runtime thing. Seriously, why are people asking these questions? Upgrade to the latest thing, it's better and more future proof. Do you expect the next windows release to be better and remove the things you don't like about win10? Who are you kidding? If win10 is so horrible you can't/won't use it, then it's time to move to another OS (which you probably should have done a long time ago).

Windows is meant to be a "set it and forget it" kind of OS.
best laugh i had for today!

I'm sure that school that has their heating system controlled by an Amiga won't have this problem :P

Indeed, and soon there will be 'Skylanders', they are already going nuts about it!
that's 30 days of PAID vacation, i watched 'Where to invade next' and aparently this is not obvious.
I understand, his name is Bram Cohen.

If you want that, you can use MATE.
Ellison is to enterprise software what microsoft is to consumer software.

What else have we left to do here? :)
It's enough to power a car (for a short distance).

and then complain about the lack of pace in todays series.
