I know there will be many floppy disk comments on this story. Did you all really install from floppies? I downloaded the files, copied them to an old hard drive, shut down the PC, and removed the old hard drive. Then I installed the old hard drive onto the future Linux box along with a new hard drive. I used only 2 floppies (boot and root image) to start the Linux box. Install Source: old hard drive. Destination: new hard drive. I also used custom tag files (only used ADD or SKP) to *almost* automate the whole install.
Slackware was far less painful to install than Windows 3.11.
Blocking sites with firewall hardware is the only reliable method to stop programs phoning home. I have a Mint machine, and Mint (and related sites) are on my block list. When I add or update program, I manually unblock them.
Accenture was the consulting arm of Arthur Andersen (which is an accounting firm). Consulting in accounting usually means how to structure contracts to minimize tax consequences.
I have never written a web app in BASIC. Is there a good example to look at ? This survey is mis-labeled. The title should be "largest web developer survey".
Those digital cable boxes send your channel information back to the provider. They don't know if you are actually watching, but they do know what you're tuned to. HDMI might allow the box to know if the TV is on. The ISP service knows where your packets are going to and coming from (eg Netflix). In any case, your provider has a very good idea of what their customers are watching. Using "subscriber numbers" to describe the market is inaccurate and possibly deceitful.
The choices include encrypting files (tar/gz/bz archives), directories, whole user directories, whole physical volumes, whole logical volumes, etc. One large enrypted volume means single point of failure: One key/password gives access to every file. More divisions means more keys/passwords, but less access if one is compromised. Therefore, server level encryption is appropriate if one person is responsible for the entire contents on the server(s).
shill (n.) Look up shill at Dictionary.com
"one who acts as a decoy for a gambler, auctioneer, etc.," 1916, probably originally circus or carnival argot, probably a shortened form of shillaber (1913) with the same meaning, origin unknown. The verb is attested from 1914. Related: Shilled; shilling.
So I should have said: "he probably owns investments under other peoples names and wants to sell them to suckers at a high price."
No.... You temporarily install the HDD on a new(er) computer, install FreeDOS on that drive, then replace that drive back into the 286. It's a variation of "sneakernet".
The problem is that the Ukrainian government does not recognize an individual's God-given right of freedom of speech, freedom to peaceably assemble, fredom of religion; or their right to bear arms. It was very sad to see Ukrainians helpless against Russian invaders, since most Ukrainians aren't allowed to possess firearms. Ukraine does not have citizen soldiers, it has serfs ruled over by professional soldiers with a sham Democracy. The only real difference the invasion has made is a change in language of the oppressor.
Simple. Step 1: Eliminate the "franchise fee" local government collects from cable companie(s). It's part of the Communications Act of 1984. Either that or tar and feather your local elected officials for being greedy and helping the cable companies screw their customers. Step 2: Convince your state government to eliminate telephone monopolies. It's been about 100 years and POTS buildout is now *shrinking*. So no need to encourage landline usage by keeping telephone monopolies.
Note: Sales/Use tax are NOT the same as Value Added Tax. My professional (accountant) opinion: Sales tax is more reliable and more efficient at collecting revenue than VAT.
Call me back when they discover a way to transport your entire physical existence into a game where you have complete autonomy over your body, just like the world we live in today.

The specific case started in 1974 (Ford), but the anti-trust drama started in 1956 (Eisenhower).
Have you found a broker that will prevent malware in ads?
Host ads and scripts on YOUR servers (or rented space). It is the connections outside your domain that cause lag that is beyond your control.
SMB is an IBM protocol. Even if the protocol is bad, there is no excuse for sloppy coding.
Nope, it started as a DEC protocol.
The AC is not a landlord. It gave itself away with an ignorant question.

Knowing how expensive advertising is, if a brand is heavily advertised I know that less money is going on the quality of the product itself.
Or: "Nobody will buy this stuff [at our price point] unless we advertise."

Or stock market shill. He must own (or have options on) Microsoft and/or LinkedIn shares.

"Wireless charging is a technology that our customers have told us they are interested in",
our customers also want flying cars.

was outside of US jurisdiction.

only the ones that enlisted in the military (Cannon Fodder).
