Lollipop killed my nexus 7 too. I was going to give up and throw it in the garbage and decided to do a factory reset on it. Now it is marginally usuable, I don't feel like throwing it at a wall or smashing it under my boots any more. But it still sucks pretty bad. It worked the best with 4.1 on it. Every upgrade has brought worse performance to it.

GCC Turns 25
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Linux started on usenet, and what really made it blow up was the ability to use gcc to write software. The first version of linux everyone was running didn't have a login, you just got root. Soon the login program came, (i think getty). But anyway it was Theodore Ts'o who did the heavy lifting. Every new program needed something new in the C library and Theodore somehow got it done.
Back in the early 1990's Gates didn't jump on the internet bandwagon and wanted MSN to dominate the networked computer world. This was around the time he started buying boatloads of artwork to put on MSN. I could see Microsoft saying that the internet isn't safe, but MSN is. They could control MSN to the point that viruses, spam, everything they have launched on this world would go away. So they get everyone with windows to dump the internet and come to the new improved and safe MSN. I still think that this has been their plan all along.
The vulnerable dll is called gdiplus.dll and could be spread all over your system. The Microsoft patch only fixes specific ones. Run this on some of your machines to see if you are still vulnerable. I bet you find at least one dll it didn't fix.
I have often wondered what irc servers and channels these zombie operators use to control and monitor these compromised pc's. Do any of you know an irc server and #channel to go and watch the carnage ?
I know that DirectTV has some (relatively) advertisement free premium channels, but ignoring those the initial figures come out as follows assuming a 33% Commercial Carpet Bombing Factor:
Non Commercial Programming: 22.678 GB/sec Commercials: 11.322 GB/sec
I am confused about this "1210 hours of programming". Since the advertising carpet bombing factor currently is 0.33, does that mean we get 1210 hours of Olympics and 605 hours of commercials (50 days of Olympics with 25 days of commercials), or 806 hours of Olympics and 403 hours of commercials (33 days of Olympics and 16 days of commercials) ?
I seem to remember an article in CrayNewsWorld which stated that the average Cray user was far smarter than 10 PC and 10 Mac users *combined*. It also noted that most Cray users held multiple PhD's.
It did however note that Mac users were the hands down winners in the arena of trendy fashion, and then showed a picture of a guy with spikey hair and wearing cool yellow tinted glasses (even though he had 20/20 vision)
To be honest I didn't spend much time on the slogan is Microsoft the Al-Qaeda of the network. There are some reasons it is a good comparison and many reasons why it is a bad comparison.
I am not even proposing what I am saying is true, but it is interesting that if you investigate the matter fully one possible outcome is that Microsoft has a master plan of entirely dominating every computer on the planet, and the internet is a gigantic wall to this alledged conspiracy. There are numerous other examples of this behaviour, for instance they attempted to hijack DNS in the past unsuccessfully. There is also potential mischief in there well established pattern of trying to eradicated the common languages used by computer users to be replaced by software in which they invented and are trying to propogate, and this software generally only runs on Microsoft machines by the way.
It is also kind of shocking how easy their machines are to hijack. I could see if there were maybe a few hundred incidents over the span of a few years, but if you illuminate the situation in one light it becomes apparent Windows is actually designed to be hijacked. If it isn't I propose Microsoft patent operating systems which are specifically designed to be taken over by people who are not responsible for a system fiscally or operationally. They are officially becoming the flagship company of software with this revolutionary new approach to computing.
As mentioned before, I am serious about opening an "open source" project in which the target is exhaustive analysis of Microsoft in regards to how it's products have affected the current computing world. I am able to document quite alot of history myself, and it would be fun to have other people collaborate on something like this. Specifically I want to see a concise chronology of events like this: (example dates, etc).... Please help with pre-windows networkign..computing 1988 Clarkson packet drivers emerge allowing networking cards (mainly token ring and ethernet) to operate in a TCP/IP environment.
1988.3 Microsoft makes aggressive changes to NETBIOS to make it more competative with TCP/IP
1989 Microsoft finally releases official TCP/IP drivers for networking devices.
1995 Microsoft releases "comic chat" with an unorthodox mode of operation in which unofficial/unapproved "extensions" to the IRC protocol are broadcast in the channel and interpretted in a special way by the new Microsoft Comic Chat client.
1998 Most Microsoft Comic Chat users are immediately banned from all servers globally when they enter a channel.
1999 Microsoft officially buries Comic Chat when it is no longer shipped with the OS.
2025 Antichrist officially declares Microsoft the official software of the empire and anyone not using it is beheaded.
I am working on a thesis and will probably want some contributors to help. The internet is committing suicide and Microsoft is always part of the equation. It started with Microsoft not embracing TCP/IP (remember the Clarkson drivers). Then Microsoft really screwed up and didn't support the internet for about a year after the ball got rolling because they wanted the entire planet to use MSN. Finally they realized that the entire planet was probably not going use MSN exclusively and they jumped on the internet bandwagon. From then on the things they did seemed to only destory what was good. Email suddenly became HTML based. They tried to hijack IRC with Microsoft Comic Chat. They tried desperately to torpedo java and had limited success. They tried to hijack HTTP/HTML with Microsoft crap like Frontpage. Fast forward to 2004 and we have millions and millions of Microsoft zombie pc's completely wreaking havoc on the net. Is it possible it is all part of a master plan ? I can see where in the future they could proclaim the only safe way for people to be networked is if everyone was on MSN because they can rigorously control how everyone's pc works and what it does. For example they would get rid of SMTP, HTTP, IRC, etc and replace it with "safe" Microsoft protocols and software.
In short, is Microsoft the Al-Qaeda of the networking world ? It sounds screwy but if you write a chronology of the internet and Microsoft side by side you will notice that almost everytime something bad happens in the internet world Microsoft is right there playing a major role. The vast majority of Microsofts contribution to the internet is leading to its destruction. I wonder if somehow they are behind the other internet scourge: pencil necked geek know-it-all bullies on newsgroups, slashdot, and irc that in reality could have their a**es kicked by little girls. Bah.
My email account has been saturation bombed with messages containing those subject lines for well over a year. I am thinking the virus attack they are reporting is very old and they are just getting to reporting it now (?)
Last year all the big media companies made their biggest profits. This means they sold the most commercials. You can tell by the way tv and radio is carpet bombed with commercials. For every three hours of television programming, one hour is commercials now. The rate is even higher for AM talk radio. I pay about $75/month for digital cable. This means I am paying $25/month to watch commercials. This is also why I am disconnecting that f*cking spam machine.
Please, Please do this if some market researcher asks you why you dont watch TV. Tell them there aren't enough commercials. Tell them that you work 50 hours/week, and you love commercials because it helps you figure out what to buy with all the money you make from working so much. Tell them how much you love all the funny ads, like the bear who builds a beer dispenser out of a bookshelf. Also mention that most of the women are very beautiful on commercials, and you like to see them as much as possible. I think the commercial carpet bombing of tv and radio has alot more to do with this drop off in viewers than most people think. Also, I propose we don't call them commercials anymore. I like "targetted marketing payload" myself.

Try a factory reset.

Just wait until somebody upgrades the shell code and then dumps it into avatars on message boards. No clicking involved......

How big is your company ? How many computers were affected ?
That's very pathetic smolinski.

Hi,
I know that DirectTV has some (relatively) advertisement free premium channels, but ignoring those the initial figures come out as follows assuming a 33% Commercial Carpet Bombing Factor:
Non Commercial Programming: 22.678 GB/sec
Commercials: 11.322 GB/sec
My Iriver IFP195 occasionally emits a head blowing sound when the battery has almost lost all its power. I would estimate it way over 95 db.
I am confused about this "1210 hours of programming". Since the advertising carpet bombing factor currently is 0.33, does that mean we get 1210 hours of Olympics and 605 hours of commercials (50 days of Olympics with 25 days of commercials), or 806 hours of Olympics and 403 hours of commercials (33 days of Olympics and 16 days of commercials) ?
Help, I really need to know !
