Yet FF on Windows with noscript, AdBlock Plus, and FlashBlock has kept me 100% secure against bullshit I didn't explicitly ask for.
In the meantime, you have to worry about kernel exploits and package dependency exploits.
Why, yes, I run windows, three customized embedded Linux distros, MenuetOS, Unix, OS/400, and good-old DOS. Right tool for the job, and all that. Can't design ultra-complex systems at maximum sped without using the proper speedy tools for the proper speed-dependent job.
Oh, look, the person I was talking with AGREES with me, and yet I get modded as flamebait.
Linux mods have a vendetta, I see, without any rational defense. That's the *ONLY* reason I'm being downmodded without a response. Proven fact given how anti-social the Linux community is in reality.
This is why Linux will never see the day of the desktop, let alone ever get out of the server market.
"If it were typical, why doesn't every popular bar/pub in the world have at least one attempted killing every weekend?"
I can tell you this one, having worked a couple of bars in my life - all the shit happens OUTSIDE of the bar, for the most part, excepting the morons that just can't wait until they step outside to break loose like a mad man.
Funny enough, both my bar jobs were gay bars, so the fights were always entertaining, but there was ALWAYS that hint of murder in each participant's voice.
Get into my field (photobiology) and you can get yourself a kushy (no pun intended) job.
have fun dealing with the microeinstein values of each required wavelength, and measuring them! I just bought a FIFTH upgrade to my measurement system, and due to many variables, I still have problems obtaining readings within my tolerance requirements.
Inform yourself. Extremely high concentrations of THCV (commonly found in extremely potent Asian-based strains,) will blow your endocannabinoid system and make you see shit.
Hi, I breed cannabis for the Dutch and for medical research.
Hi. Let me walk you through turning the fucking file sharing off, since you are apparently TOO NAIVE to have looked through the entire thing in order to understand the workings of the system.
You first install it (ignore the ask toolbar as always, uncheck it and move on)
When it FIRST LOADS UP, it asks you where you want to download, and which folders you want to share - uncheck all the folders under 'shared' box, click them and hit 'remove,' and pick your download location or leave it default, click next.
Tell Limewire your connection type, click next.
A couple more menus in, it will ask you what file types you'd like to share directly with LimeWire itself, uncheck all of those, click next.
Before you've even had the opportunity to download anything, you've been given the options to turn off ALL SHARING.
You are no longer sharing files and will not upload whatever you download.
Was it that hard? You didn't even have to look for a settings menu, THE INNER WORKINGS THAT MATTER THE MOST TO YOU ARE EXPOSED TO YOU BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING.
Don't speak unless you've actually used the program, please. I re-installed it A. for nostalgia and B. to prove you know absolutely nothing of which you speak.
Frostwire (the free 'pro' version of Limewire) has the EXACT SAME PROCEDURE, as does any faithful open-source LimeWire clone using LimeWire's open-source.
"As a PC repairman I ask my fellow repairmen to bow their heads in a silent moment and give thanks to the HUGE number of viruses from the fake files on Limewire and Kazaa, which made many of us mucho money."
*WHAP!* That's for implying that torrents are anywhere near safe.
Do you know how many idiots have a fucking rootkitted Windows install because they got it from torrents? I live in Southern California, I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO shortage of business on that end.
"Otherwise all limewire would have to do is open-source their software and they'd be back in business."
Limewire HAS ALWAYS BEEN open-source.
And because of that (they tried to charge for it like morons,) Frostwire and many other fuller-featured versions came out, that worked better and had the EXACT same interface with a different-colored skin.
This is absolutely bullshit. This amounts to an attack not upon Limewire, but the entire Gnutella network. Gnutella better stand up fast and stand up hard, or it's going to go dark, mark my word.
"Bluetooth is just a mess, it didn't work correctly with Windows XP at the time"
Again, tell that to my peripherals, now including a Bluetooth printer. That computer runs XP, because Vista had a GARBAGE implementation. I don't have bluetooth on this 7 laptop so I can't speak for it, but what you state for XP has not been true for the easy 15 or so peripherals I've used.
Blame Canonical and Apple for not following the Bluetooth standard properly.
'The fat lip at the bottom of the keys make them comfortable to rest your wrists on and the clack lets you know you've hit the key without having to constantly look up."
You can't touch-type? I know if I've not hit a key because the letter simply doesn't appear on the screen.
"What kind of robot needs bio-compatible LED arrays?"
The kind of robot that could target your skin with those LEDs and activate light-sensitive drugs, so a human doctor can be left to do analysis of other patients.
"What kind of consumer good ends up implanted under the skin?"
Hmm, piercings, body mods, maybe mood ring/indicators? Maybe flashlight eyes like in the original Deus Ex?
"I suppose you could embed very high efficiency red and blue LEDs and some algae in your lungs, and run the LEDs off stored body fat..."
Trust me, typical high-efficiency diodes that wouldn't sear your lungs (aka lite-brite diodes) are not sufficient enough to grow algae in any decent quantity (see my sig for how I know this.) The ones you would need would char your lungs, plus slag themselves inside your body after about ten seconds of operation.

Guess you haven't seen Meg Whitman in action.
She's the one responsible for the current global Paypal bullshit. Without her, Paypal wouldn't exist.
Remember, PayPal fucks people over for their own gain, pretending to be a bank while following NONE of the USA regulations.

You're looking for higher concentrations of CBD, CBC, CBI, and CBN to handle the neurological issues.
Conceptual for them, we built something similar by using discarded electric lighter piezos back in high school.
Yay Ms. Levi's physics class at Germantown high School! Beating out concepts by an easy decade.
"The fact is, "homicidal" isn't a typical reaction to alcohol"
Oh, if only reality were that way, I'd never have had the fucked up life I had thanks to a completely alcoholic family.
Ever hear the term 'Raging Drunk?' Homicidal fits right in there.

Hi, I breed cannabis for the Dutch and for medical research.
Uhh, Kazaa is indeed still around. It is a subscription service like Napster, but it is essentially still alive.

By downloading it from FrostWire instead?

If the government 'controlled' the growth of cannabis, how come there hasn't been a reduction in availability?
Right, because the government is too incompetent to even get rid of fucking kudzu.
Too bad the typical circumvention to make a backup it what is necessary to allow the backup to be restored.
DMCA is bullshit and the majority of the population just needs to force a class-action civil suit against the government for it.
"Right, but you don't have the right to charge money to install chips into someone else's device."
Excuse me? Car Tuning shops do it ALL THE TIME.
Ever hear of a PERFORMANCE CHIP UPGRADE?

Get yourself dual wireless programmable keypads, put them on the arms of your chair, embed a trackball into the arm of the chair.
Wireless USB connector dongle and go.

You assume that alloy isn't ENCASED in something.

They *DO* call him the two-pump chump!
"Bluetooth just doesn't work."
Tell that to my headphones, headset, mouse, and laser keyboard, all of which work without ANY issue.
And then my phone can sync up using bluetooth as well, flawlessly.
Are you just technically inept?
