To be fair..
most malware available for download on the web is designed to be run on windows It doesn't do anything much less run in linux
Windows is such an easy target for exploit and success, it's everywhere and run by every bone-head idiot on the planet Linux on the other hand is most used by advanced individuals and can be very difficult to exploit making it a waste of time for the black hats, it can be done, but rarely successful
Considering that the islamic asshats issue death warrants on anyone that draws an image of a fuzzy faced man wearing a turban, the article *to me* implies that once they find offensive content they may attempt to murder the author/owner of the content.
My guess is that you didn't RTFA The author downloaded a free version of McAfee 3 years ago as a test/review of their product He wasn't a paying customer
McAfee recently spammed him with the ad in question Carefully crafted fear as a marketing tool is the issue at hand here
Maybe next time you should RTFA before posting.. then your post wouldn't sound stupid No flame intended, just a suggestion..
I work with some of those tea baggers. Sometimes I can't believe the stupid shit they say & think
Never mind:
* The record national debt run up by Smirky & Snarly
* The national/global economic crash caused by 8 years of complete republican control
* 2 Unwinable wars in muslim nations for the benefit of the American multinational energy and military industrial complex corporations

Good post Unfortunately the youth of today are not old enough to know anything of what reagan was like. All they know is the warm and fuzzy dreck emanating from fox news about how great a humanitarian reagan was.
I liked reagan back then. Even voted for him. Then found out later what a lying bastard he really was. 1. Making secret deals with the islamic dictatorship of Iran to undermine the presidency of Carter and influence an upcoming election. The "October Surprise" 2. Selling weapon systems to Iran after swinging/winning that election 3. Funneling the money made in the Iran weapon sale through Swiss bank accounts to cover their tracks. Only the RNC knows who's pockets were lined with that money. 4. Waging his famed "War on Drugs" publicly but secretly trafficking plane loads of cocaine out of central America on CIA operated C130 aircraft, making himself and that scum GHW Bush the biggest drug trafficking kingpins on the planet. 5. The list goes on...
I was once a proud republican, then got over it. I still hold many conservative ideals, but believe the rabid right wing conservatives of today have gone off the deep end and into full blown goose stepping Nazi assholeism. Voting republicans today are nothing more than ill-informed ignorant morons that are easily influenced by the lying snake talking heads of fox news and nazi radio.
Yep, Reagan fucked us up big time. It's all been down hill from there.
All we can count on today is another republican senator will be found tomorrow sucking dicks in airport bathrooms and/or sodomizing 8 year old boys
That, and socialism is bad for america and our military industrial complex economy is good.. for someone
sound like a question for a social network..not relevant here
Bullshit The question is a good one for nerds All nerds have pockets fulls of keys along with pocket protectors
I just keep a syringe of strong acid with me Whenever I lose my keys, A small shot of the acid will dissolve the lock tumbler and I'm in Try it, it works well on other people's locks as well Sort of like a master key to the world
Over here in west-Canada aka Alaska We like to joke that if you divide Alaska in half and make each half a state Texas would still be the third largest state Isn't that great !!
Wait a couple of years This will change once another right wing 'rootin-tootin' asshat gets elected. Maybe Venezuela will be next. They have oil and the drive to get there isn't as far as the middle east..
So that's what happened I was wondering why I never get mod points anymore Seems since I critiqued my government for being corrupt and in the pockets of multinational corporations.. hmmm
Your post was not troll Just that slashdot only gives modpoints to stupid assholes anymore Don't take it personally With great responsibility comes great incompetence
Best decision I ever made was to dump Windows in 2002.
Life has been relatively uncomplicated since then Sucks to be a Win7 user today. I feel your pain
KIlling all the lawyers is always a great start. But to do the job right you must also kill everyone at MPEG-LA, MPAA & RIAA. Well, maybe not the second two, but what the hell, any job done complete is a job done right
Software patents are the main problem here. Our patent system allowing patents based upon conceptual ideas, loosely worded without any specific physical prototype is a recipe for disaster. This will eventually kill off all innovation and advancement of society, art and culture. We are becoming a read-only-culture lead by our corporate overlords
Thankfully the USA is not the world and the world in not USA territory.. yet. Other countries that don't recognize software patents registered by the USPTO is what keeps us free today. As long as other countries have the balls to stand up to the US corporate dictatorship and tell to fuck themselves, we all remain somewhat free to exist as we choose
You've hit the nail on the head We here in the US are now completely buttfucked by the greedy corporations that have bought all our elected officials.
Obama has become nothing more than a trained monkey on a chain. Pity, I liked the guy too and hoped he would be different.
We traded a bunch of whacked out right wing conservative asshats for a bunch of whacked out left wing asshats. All of which still serving the corporations that bought them as whores.
American used to represent freedom. Now were hogtied under corporate dictatorship
Would someone out there please invade us and liberate us from the terrorists now in control. Pretty please...
Absolutely amazing !! And I thought I was alone in our over simplified world of iDiots equipped with iStuff devices I feel comforted knowing I am not alone in my overly complicated isolation of the dual boot PC heritage. So, there really are more of us living in this utopian soceity of Jobsland
If I ever am granted mod points again, I will return to mod your story up in Informative nirvana
Problem being after the flight, what would be the level of damage to the engines from exposure to minute amounts of abrasive ash.
Can we rely on the airlines to perform a complete tear down of the engines after each flight to verify they are safe to keep in service? Specifically the bearing surfaces and condition
Would you be willing to board this aircraft later on knowing there is a possibility of engine failure?
Too many variables here to make the call one way or the other
Back in the 80's, a KLM flight flew into the ash plume of Mt Redoubt near Anchorage Alaska. It fell from 25,000 to 12,000 feet before the pilots were able to restart the engines and make a safe landing in Anchorage. They were extremely lucky. Volcanic ash is an abrasive and nearly destroyed the engines on that plane.
Better to error on the side of caution than to have to scrape up the remains of a plane crash with all lives lost.
Richard Branson believes he should be compensated for losses caused by an act of god? What a pretentious dick!
His point is that if we stop spending so much money on wars in far away lands and put that money into out school systems, our own people and nation will be much better off in the long run.
I have to concur with this view All our national wealth is spent on military industrial complex while the nation is slipping away into 3rd world status. The majority of Americans are morons that still believe Saddam was behind 9/11. Education can fix this..
We need to redirect our priorities sooner than later. The longer we continue to dick around not dealing with our social problems, the worse things will become. Improving our school system is a great place to begin
Actually, the entire legislative and judicial branch have been ignoring all the laws and protections set in place by the authors of the Constitution for as long as I can remember.
And what's with the fucking tea-baggers? Don't those assholes know in today's dialect "tea bagging" is the act of dangling your balls into someone else's mouth? WTF ???
Considering that cars are one of the few products that are still manufactured in the US
Wrong Most american autos are now built outside the US. My '08 GMC truck is all metric and assembled in Canada & Mexico, is an engineering abortion and a real piece of shit. Not quite sure just what is made in Detroit anymore short of shitmobiles.
What's interesting is that some women can see 4 colours instead of the 3 (or less...) the rest of us are stuck with.
Sure they can. Women are carriers of the color blind gene. They are immune. Some even have bionic hearing without the implants. My spouse can hear a fly fart in the neighbor's house. She hates going out to dinner in a public restaurant as she hears every conversation going on in the room, even when she doesn't want to... TMI
there is definitely evidence that the female brain can handle more input than it's currently receiving.
This excludes you, unless you're a woman in disguise as a/. nerd, and then it's okay. As I've said before, women are much smarter than they let you believe.

Marveling over the firing squad style execution
Even better, he can have Sarah Palin as co-host where they can air footage of her shooting wolf pups in their dens

Oh, and one more thing we can thank reagan/bush for
They gave us Osama Bin Laden

3 patents, different dates, same names ?? WTF
