Apparently you still don't know why you're wrong. It isn't market share, it's the underlying operating system. A basic computer security course would teach you that. Linux is based on Unix and that was made with security in mind from the beginning. Windows never was. They had to retro-fit security and support their old crap. That's why it's easy to compromise it. The Dumb user plays a role in this as well. How to allow a dumb user to install something in privileged mode. The major problem remains, the old poorly engineered OS.
Supposedly Windows 10S changes all of this. Gone is the old 32 bit API. So is IE, and all the stuff that runs on WIndows today. It's not nearly secure enough to run on 10S. So this will be interesting. Will they be successful with 10S or not. Rumor is that 10S is really Linux under the hood.
I didn't get the joke because it's not founded in truth. He is reducing corruption. Don't believe everything, half, no even a portion of what's out there. What happens when you cut the air off to someone? They will struggle for their life. That's what we're seeing. They will lie, cheat, kill, do anything. All they can come up with? Oh, Russia. So what, nothing illegal happened.
Stay tuned, it'll get more interesting.
Hillary? Why is that woman being paid like that? Why can't I stand in her stead and make that kind of money. I certainly have a lot better things to say. Did you see even Biden bashed her today? Talk about a pig with lipstick. Biden is right. I bet he would have beat Trump. Oh well. Roller Coaster has already left the station.
The real joke was if Conan stole jokes off of a web site, would anyone notice? For years the answer was no because nobody listened to Conan. Bound to catch up to him sooner or later.
No, not climate change. Stop drinking the cool aid. A warmer environment, as we had when the Romans invaded England about 2000 years ago and when the seas were a lot higher would help insects. A lot greener earth. In fact, they used to grow grapes in Britain until the mini ice age came, which we're coming out of now.
Still draining. That's all the crap we hear on the TV and newspapers, the fake "news". They don't like it being drained. Such as the Russian story with intelligence, which is his to declassify so he can't leak it by definition.
I worked in DC. It's a lot deeper than when I worked there. He'll probably never totally drain it, however I think a good 10 feet will help. That'll mean most if not all of the Democrats and probably 50% of the Republicans at least will be in jail. Probably to pessimistic. A lot of them are probably not really criminals, they're just senile. McCain, Peleosi, McConnel, Scheumer, Waters, Lewis... all very good candidates to be banned from Congress. Move them into the old folks home.
I know what this guy's after. He wants to be seen as a visionary and not the whacko that he is. He'll say - see, I predicted this way back in 2017. Aren't I so smart!
No, you're not that smart. You're also not a visionary. You're just like everyone else.
By applying this patch they agree to upgrade to Windows 10, pay Microsoft for every OS release between XP and Windows 10 at retail price. They also agree to any monitoring Microsoft deems necessary to prevent a future non payment for OS upgrade. They also have a right to any video feeds, data on any machine in the house.

How do we even know this had anything to do with a government entity, foreign or domestic? We teach in hacking class that there are people out there that take Microsoft updates and reverse engineer them every Patch Tuesday looking for an exploit. Some people have it all automated so about an hour later they have it. How do we know that wasn't done here? Apparently it wouldn't be hard to do. We already have access to the basic encryption stuff. Just need a vector to get in. Set up call centers, send it out with some tempting bait and whammo!
While it may work and all... why? Why translate Perl that will run, runs well, doesn't have any of the problems of Java... why move it into java? Someone after a rube goldberg award?
Had to look it up. Seems it's 13" long. If we get rid of cash that seems appropriate. That's what'll screw us over and over again every day. For that reason we should all be saying - HELL NO! Keep cash.
I went through the bank being closed in the 1980s. It's not fun. Whatever cash you have is what you have. If there is no cash because we're all cashless... you're really screwed. Can't get gas, food, anything. You can try it today. Right now, go for a month with whatever is in your pocket right now. ATM won't help, can't use your credit cards either. In a real cashless situation you wouldn't even have the cash in your pocket.
It's really bad to not have cash. The government can track everything you do.
Cash is still king. You should have no less than 10,000 cash available to you in case there's a run on the bank, or such. If you don't, history shows us you can be wishing you did. Some people I know have over 50K. Not necessarily at their house. Your house is usually the first place they look.
From experience I can tell you, the ATM saying closed and the bank saying we're closed... and you tune into the radio to find out there's a crisis is no fun. This happened to me in the 1980s. Wife, kids, bills to pay, makes you real mad. Whatever is in your wallet may be what you have to use for months. I was lucky, I didn't lose any money. A few of my friends only recovered 10 cents on a dollar. I think some people didn't even get that. People that had their money in Old Court Savings and Loan.
Never let the government get rid of cash. It's too tempting to bullshit people. They will if they can. They'll play with the money and next thing you know, you can't do anything. No gas, food, etc. If it gets real bad, no electric.
The dildo in the article is so appropriate for this reason. No cash and you can get screwed good.
Previous article had a response to that. He runs a bitcoin machine, so can you if you want. Every transaction is sent to every other server in the world. It's traceable if they really want to get you. Thing is, they can find out who you are and then when you come out of your hole, even years later and go through an airport, get stopped on the side of the road, etc... you're cuffed and stuffed. Then the story ends up on slashdot!
Wow, we found another town's idiot. Your statement is just so ignorant. Question is, will your response be stupid. Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity is forever.
I work for the Federal Government and I can tell you that GW Bush started it. As always when something like that starts, it was comical. Much to his credit during the Obama administration they really went after it. We saw agencies using secure benchmarks, doing audits, actually patching systems and working to eliminate old systems. There are a lot of old systems out there. From CCTV to even entrance controls. Some of them were even running Windows 95 up until a few years ago. Probably still some out there. They seem to be bringing that forward. Of course, that'll cost. Security isn't free. As always the worst threat are the people at agencies.
Didn't you invent "Cybering" just this past week? I'm sure you did, you said it, so it must be that Cybering was invented by you. No wonder it will be best.
So best, people will ask for more and more of the Cybering. Through the series of Tubes in a Wide Stance, because it is morning in America in this decade.
No, that was Al Gore. Right after he invented the Internet.
Come on people, it was missing and I know a lot of people were just waiting for this joke.
Fedora is too close to RedHat, whom have been traitors to FOSS for many years, collaborating with IBM and such (closed-source drivers, you can't change yer kernel config or you lose all support, etc.. I know, I've been forced to work with them..)
Why do you say that? Fedora has really championed FOSS since the beginning. A lot of what the distros are today are because of RedHat. Such as your wifi - that was RedHat. I could go on and on and on... most of Ubuntu's core stuff was developed at RedHat. So was everyone else's. They donated it for free to us so we all have it.
Many Linux server developers run Windows. This way they don't need a separate machine or VM.
You're confused. Many Windows developers develop and run under Linux first. You don't want to develop under Microsoft if you can help it. It'll cost you a lot of time. Only if windows is all you know, then you wouldn't be running Linux at all.
You've got to be kidding. Comey screwed up many times. He created the problem right before the election with his other announcement earlier when he usurped the Justice Department's job. He was way out of bounds and I'm surprised Obama didn't fire his ass. He should have, however I think he was trying to be a nice guy. I could go on and on... the whole thing is out there on just how much he screwed his job up. I think Mark Levin has a really good rundown of mistake after mistake after perhaps even legal mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised if he is indicted.
No, this was way overdue. He should have been FIRED! the first day. His recent testimony was clearly wrong and there is no excuse. It isn't as if he's not aware of this case, the political sensitivities and such and yet he screwed up basic facts. If he weren't the director of the FBI I'd wonder if he was out drinking the night away before he testified. Maybe he was, who knows.
Let me ask this - do you have confidence in him? Nobody I know, right, left, center, anything... nobody seems to have confidence in him. I have a feeling he's glad it's over.
You were kidding yourself. Comey knew he would likely be fired on day one of this administration. All of them know they an be fired at any time. Even as far back as Janet Reno, she even said that she rented her apartment month by month because she knew she could be out anytime.
If I were POTUS? First day I'd call him into the oval office and say - "You're FIRED!" Probably why I'm not the POTUS.
"While I greatly appreciate your informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are unable to effectively lead the Bureau."
He is basically saying, I would have fired you if you were investigating me?
It was a note to the press that still think there is some kind of Russian connection someplace, somehow. They don't seem to believe clapper, even Feinstein that said there is no connection. Ignorance we can fix, can't fix stupid. Lots of stupid people out there. Especially in the press. Anyone can be in the press, it's a non competitive major in college. Washed up as an engineer, business, etc... hit rock bottom? You can still be a journalist.
Yea, I know, there are some fine smart people that are journalists. Probably a tough job today, especially if you want to be an honest journalist.

Surprised they didn't send him/her to the most dangerous place in the world (besides Detroit). Lot's of places where your life isn't worth a nickle.

It would all be bread and circuses.
Point well made... Wanted to comment on this part of what you said
No, there will be no more circuses. That's exploiting the animals, or someone, or something. We can't have that.
It's almost here. Especially with the "antifa" fascists. Society needs to mature back to where it was. Right now they're at about a 6 year old level.
