Woolim also constantly keeps tabs on what its users are up to. Whenever a user opens an app, the tablet takes a screenshot. These screenshots are then available for viewing in another app, but they can’t be deleted.
So this would suggest that the self-filling of the storage with screenshots is inevitable. Sort of like a disposable tablet then? Whenever it fills up with screenshots you submit it for analysis and they give you a new one, lol?
local search engines have been good at this for years, if you have at least some keyword to search upon

Root + Exposed framework + CameraLess = cool control over cameras / convert smartphone to dumphone.
I guess there is a similar app for the microphone as well
I remember not being able to run protected mode sutff, due to hot having a 386, but only a 286 machine ha ha!
Then I got a 386 SX with no co-processor and only 2 MB of ram...Had a custom autoexec.bat and config.sys that allowed me to choose weather i want extended or expanded memory upon startup - if i held down the SHIFT key it would load the ammound above 640 KB as extended (himem.sys) and otherwise as expanded (emm386.exe), cause not all cames could make use of both types of "extra" RAM.
When DOOM came out I had 2MB of total ram and i remember reading in a magazine that the game will require 4 MB of RAM just to run? Ha ha and I had 2 MB available, despite all my 'hacks'!
My friend was a fanatic on hex editing saved games for Dune 2- he would do a small change save again and incpect the changed pieces in the saved game file.
Interestingly enough it didnt break the saved games, and there was no hash/crc checking of sorts, so the game just loaded whatever was n the saved game files.
This way we were able to have Harkon Devastator tanks made like static buindings and having static land turrets mnoving like infantry.
Also the obligatory resource hacking+++
One of the trackers I use that is relatively small but has been offering p2p "clientless" torrent streaming via the web browser for some time.
They do use a custom BHO plugin though for the client part. Never tried it tbh, but speeds here are always 10MB/s+, if enough peers are available, that is.
I always thought that a site that promises true anonymity and has a lucrative set of transparent terms and services for not tracking its users seemed more like a honeypot made by Big Brother.
E.g. when Hushmail was the big deal of the day i got paranoid it might be funded by the NSA, and i don't even have to hide anything.
My online footprint is pretty-much unique and if someone wants he could easily track me etc.
"Hushmail, a longtime provider of encrypted web-based email, markets itself by saying that "not even a Hushmail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted e-mail, since each message is uniquely encoded before it leaves your computer."
But it turns out that statement seems not to apply to individuals targeted by government agencies that are able to convince a Canadian court to serve a court order on the company."
Also Lastpass and the like - i am afraid of a breach.... I prefer off cloud storing of the kdbs files and manually syncing them or sync them via Drop box, or other third parity cloud service.
I'd go off with the DIY solution. Inside expensive branded solutions you are bound to find usuall PC components anyway - Pentium 4 buth with ddr3 ram.
And known Cisco issues like revert 10- firmwares backwards and install each firmware update one after each other, else it does not work... also make me steer away from branded pre-made solutions.
To this day, 95% of our earth’s oceans remain undiscovered.
Erm I kinda hoped that we still have not discovered a lot of species but if they are like jelly fish or amoebas it wouldn't be of any significant matter...
I was always imagining how bad would it be if an Online based password manager got it's servers and / or database breached, even if they use only hashing + salting for the user's details.
Perhaps I am paranoid but using an offline solution seemed better to me, from the beginning, since before the web based password managers gained trust and popularity.
The traditional offline based Keepass Password Safe can be also 'sent to the cloud' (or at least the kdbx files) via a third parity cloud provider, like Drop Box or similar, ftps cron jobs etc
-Transparent local encryption
-Kee Pass kdbx file locked by master pass-phrase + some file as a key
-kdbx files are always up to date on every device via third parity solution - Drop Box or similar.
Even if the cloud part gets compromised, the local file is still protected.
I have seen ATMs that work with bitcoins, but i thought it was a very rare occasion to see one. So it is not an 'imaginary currency' after all, but a legitimate one, no?
I wonder if it's too late to start mining them in 2013 - I guess on a single home computer with a mediocre radeon GPU HD 4850 it would be a waste of time and electricity. Also I read that they will run out in 20 years time. I really do not understand all this and i was hoping for a summarized response by a/. guru of some sorts.
I was curious what was all the huss around the bit coin mining about. Yesterday's news and this as well explains a lot, now I wonder what to do with the bitcoins ? Are there any similar uses of this currency that i do not know of?
This would definitely cause a red flag in a world where anything that seems "too good to be true must" be a scam (e.g. nigerian prince, rich descendant from the middle east, make thousands of $$$ by clicking on ads, MLM pyramids, etc).
BTW any good accountant could had it done for you for a small fee, without the "active participation" of the targeted sponsored projects.
Then after all was done in paper - just send them over the money "post factum": eg. you are welcome to claim your $5000 at western union/ money bookers/ etc.
Also another user suggested creating a branded version of the open source - e.g. with your company's logo on it - no other changes for 5K.
Sounds legit
>I am getting so desperate that I am starting to think of running Windows on my box, but that would be painful in so many other ways given my work environment >revolves around the Linux toolset."
You could go full retard and install Windows + proprietary drivers and then either
1. setup a virtual Linux box
or
2.use CygWin ( http://www.cygwin.com/ )
You can Buy the same laptop with Windows 7, Windows 8 or FreeDOS only in my country.
In fact a good deal of laptops sold in Bulgaria come with FreeDOS. And i mean brand names like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc.
Its like they already know you will not install a licensed copy and they lower the price tag by excluding the OEM OS copy of WIndows, eventhough its cheap with regional discounts and all that.
So I feel sorry for you.
I don't know how this is done, but is is 100% legit and your local stores seem to be forcing the Win8 On you. I Feel bad about them and sorry for you.
Yes and Now, depends on the old rig's specs, not only the video card!
The older CPU _could_ become a major bottle neck, if not multi-core, HT aware.
5 years ago a high end rig could be powered by a decent dore 2 duo CPU circa 2008, or early 2009, which if pretty decent in overlcocked to nice and stable 3.5 - 4.0 GHz.
On the other hand an older Single core and not HT aware CPU will be a huge bottleneck even if a modern GPU is put on, for example Barton core Athlon's. (a bit older though)
Two older HDDs could also be in a RAID setup, defragmented, so no HDD bottle neck.
The FSB and motherboard chipset could be a culprit.
The PSU must not be underestimated, especially if the new GPU has a high TDP.
Overall my opinion is that it all boils down to what you need and want. If the old rig is not tool old, a newer GPU could be a life saver, but do not expect maxed out eyefinity play on three/six displays.
yo ISP, am I downloading warez? I am just running a TOR relay and I also participate in folding dem protein chainz, dem electric-sheep, dem distributed computing sh!ts. Oh, did i also mention I am running a public open WiFi Hot Spot and a proxy server for my friends in foreign countries, who cant access our local private warez sites, I meant linux trackers?? it wasnt me. it was the evil hacker next door, i guess. I doubt ISP's in Pridnestrovie Republic or other similar regions will comply, LULZ. Yawn.

Hm does that mean that the "no matter what guarantee" by Toshiba won't cover this
