Also, suppose you're doing a promotion worth less than $11,000, such as a $1,000 promotion. Then all you have to do is charge them a bulk rate of $12,000 for 12 promotions. You do 12 promotions, get fined for one, and get a $1,000 profit.
Maybe the number of bots in the network is related to how popular the operating system is. And maybe 770 is just the ones they know about. There are enough "maybe"'s for everybody, no matter what side you're on. And I've got one more; maybe one day Linux will become mainstream and all of the botnets will be on Linux machines because most of the Windows users are actually looking for these threats while most of the Linux users just assume their system is invulnerable and make excuses any time there is a counterexample.
I think it might be a good compromise if, as long as government data is inaccessible to blind people, blind people don't have to pay taxes. But since they have to pay taxes that pay for these websites and it's not difficult to make a website blind people can use, I think this is a legitimate complaint.
I think if this is a troll then "Uninstall Windows to fix your virus problem" is certainly a troll. And my comment was a sincere, wholehearted comment. Unless he's presenting Windows to a bunch of people only interested in programming or networking, that's the likely outcome. And for what it's worth, it's very possible to run Windows without getting a virus and anybody who is likely to get a virus by running Windows will probably get a virus the same way by running any other OS, unless they just can't figure out how to run anything.
Long ago, we had Norton Antivirus for Windows 95. I guess this was when online updates were a new thing. The box said something like "never buy antivirus software again!" and boasted about how it would always be updated and current. Then one day it stopped updating. Our reply from the customer support people was "this product is no longer supported". They told us we had to buy the new version. Let them die.
I happen to want a so-called "smart phone" that I can program, and wouldn't mind having a touch screen. However, the iPhone is only available on AT&T and I hate Google. So a Google phone with all of the Google stuff taken out is very interesting to me. Maybe this guy's found a new fan...
I think Jim Brown and Herb Adderly could best support this cause by funding an open source American football game, featuring every NFL team but leaving the names off the jerseys. Either the game companies would have to pay the unlicensed players or EA sports would no longer be the only company that can make an NFL football game. We'd win something.
I honestly believe doing a side-by-side demonstration of Windows, Mac OS, and Ubuntu, to an undecided crowd, you're just going to end up with a bunch of new fans of Mac and Windows. What features will you be comparing between the three? And does it have to be limited to features present in all three systems?
So, if the space program managed to remove one of the wheels from a space shuttle and break the motorcycle speed record again, you would not see a problem there?
I'm no biker but I always thought a motorcycle was something you ride on top of, with the vehicle between your legs. This looks like something you ride inside of...
Everybody I know ends up with the Google toolbar, and most of them don't know how they got it. It's installed the same way as viruses; they just get some software installed, choose typical or default installation, and keep clicking yes till they get to the end. So surely Google could bundle the installer for this thing with the toolbar and everybody will have it. They just won't know what it is, why they have it, or how to get rid of it.
I realize I'm no average woman, but for what it's worth, I'd rather play a video game with a guy than go to a movie with one. It's more personal and you get to be more involved. I also happen to think if you're going to play a video game with somebody, the Wii is the best choice cause you get way more physical than you do with the other systems.
I think Apple can win. The iPhone may be closed but so far being closed and limited are normal for phones and people keep buying them anyway. Also, they have a strong base of developers. Furthermore, the phone is more appealing than its competition out of the box with no additional applications installed.
Assuming the programs are written in Java with a few custom Java include files, I think the downfall of Android will be the ease of viewing the source code of Java, and the lack of a way to profit from building apps. People will just be able to copy and paste the source code to rip off app developers' hard work, or copy an entire app into their phone from a friend without paying. This will lead to for-profit developers (and a lot of people who have apps good enough to sell) sticking with the closed-source iPhone and Windows Mobile. Android will be left with people who are willing to donate their time, and have to deal with al of the baggage that comes with that, such as "if you don't like my interface then build your own! If you want that feature, program it yourself!".
I personally want a Google phone so I can write programs for it that my friends and I will use. But if I were in it for the money, I would get an entry-level MacBook and write iPhone apps. I think your prediction that everybody will want their apps to run on Android first so they "will be available to everybody" is flawed. I think some of those people will want their phone to run on the system that "will be available to everybody who pays the most ridiculous prices for phones and phone downloads". It really seems to be a question of who will win between a platform where developers get paid and a platform where everything is free. And we know how that's gone with operating systems so far...
What's she doing with the computer every day? Because I installed Linux on my daughters' laptop and they're doing fine too, but they're not trying to print anything and the laptop isn't connected wirelessly. And they're not using any sound at all. Because they don't need any of that for Facebook. If your friend is printing reports, downloading wirelessly, and listening to her mp3 collection on Linux, I think you should make a website explaining how you did it.
A computer-implemented network-based system that facilitates management of data, comprising:
A program running on a server that:
a computer-implemented context component of the network-based system for capturing context information associated with user-defined data created by user interaction of a user in a first context of the network-based system, the context component dynamically storing the context information in metadata associated with the user-defined data, the user-defined data and metadata stored on a storage component of the network-based system; and
has a crawler to index data from links people submit
a computer-implemented tracking component of the network-based system for tracking a change of the user from the first context to a second context of the network-based system and dynamically updating the stored metadata based on the change, wherein the user accesses the data from the second context.
one that reindexes if the link has changed.
And if you read further into it, apparently they also patented the search box you use to find the files you indexed. But that's just my take on it, and I don't understand legal talk either, nor did I bother to read past about the 4th paragraph.
Speaking as a Black woman in computer science, I would be fairly offended the first time the sign sees me, stops displaying the ad for Dell Computer, and starts displaying ads for chicken and lip gloss. But I guess that's no different from what happens on television.
If I remember correctly, the weapons of mass destruction situation was different. That would be more like you telling me I have a gun in my pocket, me denying it, and you beating me up even though I don't have it.
What I don't get is, last time I was on Dell's site, it let you configure a computer system. The exact same system offering Microsoft Office could be configured with WordPerfect and I think they had an option of no office suite at all. That means they have images with WordPerfect and images with no office suite. So, would it kill them to just use one of the images they already have instead of complaining that they have to make a new one?
In Kansas City, the local weather guys are the best, the National Weather Service is marginally good, and The Weather Channel would be lucky to predict what day it will be tomorrow. I mean, if it's going to rain, Mike Thompson will say it's going to rain. The National Weather Service will say we have a dopplar-indicated thunderstorm. The Weather Channel will tell everybody to board up their windows and stay in their basements until the tornado passes through. And then it rains.

I'm thinking that IE users' primary concern is not security or they'd be using something else to begin with.
True, their primary concern is the browser working when they go to the website.

I think that would get tuned out on Facebook since it would show up so often, and that phrase would be the new American slang for being idle.
Fine, as long as business gets its hands off government first.

Yes, that's what they tried to do. This was years ago.
