Yep I'm gonna be pulling netstat and seeing what Cortana connects to. Then I'll block the hell out of it on my hardware firewall. Thank you for playing.
I won't be doing. Or maybe I will and just block microsoft, bing etc. at my firewall. Then there's the option just go Ubuntu and the fuck with Windows forever.
1) Remove the disk, open it up and extract the platter and smash into tiny bits. If it's a metal disc then get some heavy grit sand paper and sand away.
If you're squeamish about physical destruction, you can always use Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN).
That there's all this debate about cell phone 'radiation'. It's non ionizing btw and it's RF energy - nothing more.
Let's face it we've all been exposed to high power RF signals for the better part of a century. So say it's the cell phones is a little bit narrow in thinking if RF does indeed cause certain cancers.
And need I remind you a lot of medical equipment absolutely RELIES on RF - like the MRI for instance.
I'd have to say the invention of the transistor was the most transformative thing to happen to society. Prior we had vacuum tubes sure but they were power hungry devices that made portable electronics impossible.
The transistor changed everything. It also allowed the device on which I'm posting to come about. A device admittedly a bit dated already but still enough to allow me to multi-task, listening to music, watching video, etc. And to continue the line of thoughts - the computer has invaded every aspect of life itself. All because of the invention of the transistor.
And the reason we're not seeing more media coverage of this is because the media as we know it is owned by the same monied elites that are listed in the Panama Papers. You never bite the hand that feeds you.
And the issue with that is the current congress has been hell bent on starving the IRS of operating budget. So fewer auditors, fewer IRS people in general.
One remarkable thing about the Obama administration is on the surface it looks like they did next to nothing to prosecute bankers. But underneath if you watch the case flow at DOJ they've prosecuted a whole bunch but did it very quietly.
And then there's the mind boggling distance between us and say another intelligent species in the cosmos. But there's a pattern in human endeavor that says first we think about it, then we build telescopes to view it, then we build probes to orbit it or visit it, and finally we visit.
That's the main problem - nothing is consistent in the United States. It's a zillion little fiefdoms all making up their own rules. Every once in a while though they get together and decide they need more money for the school systems. And then the party is on.
You make a good point. I work in Massachusetts, live Rhode Island and have relatives in North Carolina and Texas. So there have been times where I've been in my office, logged on to Amazon and made a purchase to be shipped to NC or TX. I get charged the RI sales tax. Wait - how does that work?
Well there has been an awful lot of experimentation with rats of all things and severing their spines and then putting on this drug that causes the cut ends to fuse back together without scar tissue. That could translate to working on human beings too.
I deal with Comcast for our internet service. Dealing with them is like dealing with the old Ma Bell. The problem just couldn't be on their end. So the latest, from a Comcast business account you couldn't reach Comcast aka Xfinity residential email servers. Showed them the traceroutes from our border device and it just dropping the connection. They wouldn't believe me until I took our network down to test at their border device. Of course I knew the IP's so I just modified it and sent it back to them.
It was a fucking ACL on the gateway. One that we did not ask for. Took two weeks and about a dozen emails and calls to get it fixed. Comcast sucks.
There never was that level they call DevOps. And I'll tell you something I've sene with Agile over the years. Two things fall down completely flat with Agile - bug chase and documentation.
Wow - that's a horrendous story. I'd be hiring an attorney and suing the fuck out of the bitch who did you in and anyone else who crossed you. Particularly since you have the documentation.
I couldn't agree more. I once worked for an InfoSec company that got acquired by Dell. Now one of the products we used was ArcSight - when they got acquired by HP, Dell walked away from the product and in the process $20 million in sales. Oh well.

Yep and those protections may or may not exist on debit cards. Mine has that feature of almost zero liability. I like that very much.

Yeah I caught that too. Pretty odd - and my phone just did a massive update of Android software today too.

If you can't get a lift vehicle off the ground without problems what good are those bombs?

Because those AI's will always require care and feeding.

That disables it. A simple google search will help.

The transistor and the atom bomb.

What the fuck - I'm gonna have to shut off more shit on Windows 10? Really?

Understand completely about both HP and Lenovo. Both produce POC machines.
With MS-SQL Server on Linux - just install FreeTDS and connect to your old MS-SQL server so that you can port all the data into MySQL or Postgres.
