Take a closer look at what they are detecting. It usually involves a direct competitor or rival distributor of the same software. It isn't random by any means. That kind of software is specifically programmed to target competitor malware and remove it so their malware is in control.
Funny, how these incidents happened each time with Jobs at the helm of Apple.
Mod me down all you want, mods, but it's true, and so is my insinuation towards that turtle-necked goon. As far as I am concerned, he's no better than Gates or Ballmer, but not quite as bad as the past leadership of IBM.
Funny also how I now have much more respect for Gates now that he isn't in charge of daily operations there at MS headquarters. He seems to be doing some worthy things with that mountain of money.
...see the title of this article in their RSS feed and think, "Oh no, some jackass integrated wireless internet into sunglasses and chose Netscape Communicator as the browser!" ???
Actually, Edward is one of the main characters, not supporting. 'Radical Edward' is responsible for quite a few of the main events that happen during the entire storyline - including getting Faye Valentine to finally go investigate and come to terms with her past. She may not have as many -action- sequences as the others, but her parts of the plot are definitely integral to the whole, and serve to advance the story in a way that some of the other 'main' characters do not.
Now, if you ask me, Ein was the real hero of the series, for too many reasons to list here. If you've watched the series extensively, you just might agree:)
The only problem is, that with the Wii, Nintendo has decided to make it as annoying as possible NOT to accept their updates. Basically it will pop up the annoying update screen at every opportunity - this means every time you navigate between windows, etc in the system.
It essentially harasses you until you click on 'Yes'.
I dunno...your theory and his theory are both kind of made not true by AIDs, the one disease that does -exactly- what you two suggest they don't do/can't do.
The only difference is, with only a half-working, non-human tested vaccine, I hold no hope that it'll be remedied anytime within the next 20 years.
You already pay for using a fraction of their capacity. Capacity that is already many times over-provisioned before it even reaches your node. So essentially, you are already paying for something you'll rarely, if ever, get anyhow.
Why? Because at least in the USA, those fucktards took our generous public investment and gave themselves nice fat pay bonuses and extravagant marketing campaigns instead of upgrading their shitty networks like they were supposed to.
And those asses STILL HAVE THE GALL TO BEG CONGRESS FOR MORE TAX MONEY.
To not have seatbelts installed and the dash upholstered is your dad's decision. He can have that work done anytime he decides to pony up the cash for it. While he's at it, he can also have a roll bar installed.
If they simply replaced all of the HFCS in everything that seems to have it nowadays, with pure cane sugar (not that processed white shit), then there wouldn't be half the problems there are now with weight issues. HFCS can't be processed by the human body, and are converted directly into fat, waste materials, and by-products. Let's not forget the mercury, other poisonous chemicals, and heavy metals used in the commercial production of HFCS and other chemical food additives.
You'll keep having that issue too, because hardware manufacturers are in general running into the ATI/nVidia issue: Their drivers contain patented, licensed, proprietary code - and not all of it owned by them. This is the main reason ATI drivers lag behind Intel or nVidia for *nix, and why nVidia only releases binary blobs.
The controller code, shader code, etc can all possibly be originated from different corporations, that the manufacturer licensed the code from. I don't think too many people stop to think about this. They just whine about it being a binary blob, or the specs aren't fully open, or accompanied by working drivers and full source code.
I look at it this way. You want full driver support in your operating system, you need to play along with established rules. Just like you expect them to honor the GPL, BSD, MIT or whatever license, OS developers need to honor and respect the contractual/licensing obligations the hardware manufacturers have as well.
Maybe, but maybe not. The version of IE6 on Win2k is slightly different than that found on WindowsXP. Files that use different version numbers, and certain files not there altogether between the two versions (A similar situation involves uxtheme.dll - very different versions of the file depending upon WinXP service pack, and between WinXP Home, WinXP Pro, Win2k3 and Vista, even though the filename is the same). The framework might be looking to patch/replace files that Win2k/IE6 for Win2k simply doesn't have, thus failing the installation. It could also be something as simple as a programmer at Google screwing up the default path names for Win2k, which aren't like those under WinXP or Vista (C:\WINNT instead of C:\Windows for instance).
Feel free to muck about with it though and let us know if you had to re-image your system afterwords.
Sure there is. They can completely disable external or non-signed plugin functionality in IE, force out an update via Microsoft Update, and there isn't a damned thing anyone could legally do about it.
But if it's in the Public Domain, anyone can use it, for whatever purpose they see fit. The only thing they can't do is take it unchanged and re-copyright it under their own name. If it was PD code, they could put it in pink lettering for all I care.
It also has the benefit of being Open Sauce for you guys who like to tinker with code.
There will never be an AdBlock or AdBlock+ for IE from the original authors. Those extensions rely on XUL and Javascript to make Firefox do what they want. Extensions for IE have to be programmed in a language like C++ and compiled into binary blob, and can only use pre-defined hooks into the browser.
That's because unlike -any- of the other News Corp properties, the WSJ is actually worth paying for. And guess what? It didn't get that way from any effort put forth by News Corp or Murdoch.
Ignoring those conventions can lead to innovation. Innovation doesn't occur because you copy what someone else does, even if that is 'the established norm'. I'd rather have Mozilla be innovative with Firefox than monkey-see monkey-do.
You need to get out of your mother's basement more often.
I -always- purchase retail Windows. Why? Because OEM versions can't legally be installed on more than one original system, making it totally useless for those of us who build our own computers. I want to be able to install it on my machine, and when I build a new one to replace the old one, I want to be able to transfer the license over to the new machine.
I thought this was quite common? (Completely ignoring pirated installs here - it isn't worth the bother to pirate Windows anymore).
Wrong - try getting Ubuntu to just run any networking out of the box when your network card involves any combination of Broadcom chips or Linksys wireless.
Select which resolution you properly want, hit the TAB key, then hit the ENTER key. Voila. This works even if the OK button isn't onscreen. It's called keyboard shortcuts and Windows has had them since at the very least Windows 3.0.
Bullshit. I watch fullscreen Flash video on a Sapphire (ATI) 9600XT w/256MB VRAM. I've also played many Flash games in fullscreen with this exact same card.
If you live in the United States, it's a guarantee that your internet data passes through an AT&T owned network. 100% of all US traffic passes through their fiber longhaul backbone - even if it is getting passed back and forth to one of the other longhaul carriers and onward.
Even Verizon and Comcast can't avoid this - and outside of the backbone providers like Level3 and AT&T, they have the largest networks.
I know out west at least, that Verizon has part of their network on Level3, whereas here on the East Coast, I've traced several of their nodes back to AT&T networks. Ditto Comcast.
I know my own ISP has AT&T as an upstream provider, and the ISP in question is a cable company.
The reasoning for this is probably that the University Medical Center is better equipped to handle the corpse of someone exposed to pestilent bacteria of this type. CDC containment level 2 protection at the very least, unlike most hospitals and ANY coroner's office I've ever been to.

Oh, so the Scotts are finally getting their revenge after all of these centuries, eh? Glorious :P

Too bad there is nothing anti-trust about removing or 'crippling' a feature from their own software.

There is an extension for IE that might fit what you are looking for:
