*Tinfoil hat on* Its part of skynet to sneak in rootkits when they want...... skynet is not one computer it was all the computers with google toolbars instaled!!
What kind of an everyday job is invading another country and then torturing and killing the inhabitants? Fucking brain dead animals might consider it a job, but to most people it's an outrage.
Why I'm going to bother wasting my time replying to this is beyond me..... I'm in the USMC so I guess that would be my "everyday job" as you called it. However my everyday job is running a server, troubleshooting and providing network support in the USMC.... so if that's an outrage to you defiantly don't belong on Slashdot. Contary to the popular belief of some people in here, the miltary don't go around invading a country and killing random people to there need. If a Teacher hit a kid do you think all teachers go around hitting other kids? The people who think all teachers like that are
The study shows protection for people who drink too much, are overweight or have hemochromatosis (too much iron). Basically, anyone at a high risk of liver disease. Otherwise it doesn't seem to do much of anything.
I disagree for the most part. Users should not have to be computer experts to use them.
And you can tell me with a strait face that Linux is the answer? If not Linux then what OS? I'm willing to bet if Linux had the market share that Windows had we would be having spyware on it, but anyone who uses Linux is going to have most likely common sense and is not going to be a complete moron and go around downloading crap. Next is Mac OS X, sure the OS might be nice by you pay though the ass to get a Mac, and spyware still exists on the Mac, I've seen it.
How about not using a hopelessly broken OS in the first place?
How about learning to operate a computer first? Most of these users with spyware problem stem from being computer illiterate. I don't get any spyware on my machine but I don't open anything that says "Click Here for Free Smiles", I use Firefox read the EULAs on anything I install and at least make smart decisions instead of installing anything I see without any problems. You wouldn't go driving a car without some proper maintance or you would have problems, but people don't see it like that, they figure anyting they can do on their machine can be easily fixed by someone for a cheap price or even free if they knew a computer nerd that will fix there computer for them.
Take my brother for example he installs anything he wants on his computer and dosen't care because as soon as I come home to visit my mother guess who is going to format and reinstall the OS again and make everything beter again and this cycle goes on and on.
Welcome back to The Geek Hunter... today we visit its lair.... the basement... they spend most of their time reading slashdot.....On a sidenote why does it feel like I'm an animal that people want to study?
Are people still seeing the blue-screen of death? I haven't seen one in years. Sounds to me like the usual FUD.
It is FUD as a hardcore gamer and network administrator the only times I ever ever ever see a BSOD is when a hard drive is on its last life, or when my video card GPU crashs. (Not really a BSOD since windows in running fine, but I have no video... and forced to restart)
Is the Tivo program it self going to shrink the file down to be able to handle more then 1 episode of a show on the ipod? I can just see how the resoultion and filesize not working on it well.
You can also download the Windows 98 Veersion and install it on windows XP/2000 without a problem if you don't want Itunes, I'm guessing its the same thing, just without itunes.
Valid question or not, it still is flamebait. Whether it was intentional flamebait could be debated, but it was definetly flamebait. Anyone reading the post obviously saw that the guy was looking for ways to make OO work to replace it, so obviously 'just keep it' was the easy answer that had already been ruled out.
The guy is asking a question about ways to send money, it probably was flamebait to 3/4 of the Slashdot crowd due to there hate for M$ but honestly anyway I think of it, keeping there current version of office makes the most sense to me. Just because something new new and shiny dosen't mean you have to get..... Do you go out and buy a car new year because a model came out or do you drive your car till it's no longer reliable?
How about being asked that after you showed your USMC miltary ID, typical jarhead haircut, with blonde hair and blue eyes and them wanting to strip seach you because you had network crimpers in your bag. The worst part was the crimpers I needed for the job I was going to, yet they where taken since I was told they can be used as a "blunt" weapon.
Slashdot Mirror
Its not hard to figure out if I can hear the music any DRM format can be easily broken...

Lets also do it the "Texan way" with some Death Penaltys
He goes on to praise Sony's "responsible" attitude in handling the problem?
They are responsible for putting it in there, and the next line after that makes me laugh even harder.

Why not just keep Office 2000/XP?
