this sounds like a good choice. Granted, people like me may be up in rage because of the unfamilar feeling, but the fewer calls I get because people totally screwed up their own rig is a good thing in my book. As the first major desktop/notebook/netbook/whatever OS to embrace this idea (as in it's not a phone or PDA), it could verywell lead how it's really supposed to be done.
Just please tell me I don't have to jailbreak my own computer...
With moderate sucess, they managed to pull it off with great fun. But they are a little more modest with an average $2,000 pricepoint and nothing too rediculus.
As the Java reference has already been well established, as somebody who does.NET daily in both C# and VB flavors, I cannot name a faster way of making the programs I need to do stuff. The frameworks just save us from having to remake and reuse tons of code that somebody already did. Why do more work than you have to?
Politictions and people need to get out of the mindset that Social Security is part of the Federal Budget. It isn't. The law that introduced it said it would be separate from the federal budget. Look at your paystub sometime. Notice why the tax is not included in the withholding? Because it's not a tax.
The author of this blurb is showing pure ignorance of how SS works.
Sure I could have bought a G11 and gotten roughly the same result but for my programming I rely on having the keys just a pinky reach away. Programming the keys to give excactly what I want, when I want with tons of profiles for whatever it is I'm doing from a paint by numbers LINQ expression (you know the one, var x = y from s where y.ToString() == "Something" select y) to a monsterous 300 line class that I seem to use way too much in all of my programs. Press one button and I have it instead of finding something that already does and copying it over.
People think of this as a gaming tool and yes I did buy it for that reason. But the more I started using the thing for other stuff did it really come alive just what I can do with it. The keys are soft but after repeated use will become loud especially if you slam the keys. Ergonomic? Not even close. Useful? Certianly.
Probably a far better idea to get them all netbooks. They're cheaper and they will draw less irk from parents. Besides, what can a Mac do that Linux can't when it comes to schoolwork?
And I'm not going to even mention using Windows and how much a joy that could be.
You bring up a valid point. But as SVCHost is nothing more than an encapsulator you would think the program would be smart enough to go in and figure out what's been attached to it and remove that paticular problem?
It seems to be very willing to take the whole machine down.
Speaking of which, did anyone at McAfee even bother to test this dat on a Windows XP machine?
Namely is the game fun and entertaining? The answer to that is a resounding yes. If a game is the above it can be forgiven for lots of flaws and that is why the game has passed the $1 Billion mark in cash.
While it is writen to say could possibly be modified to work with newer versions of IE, I find that a little unlikely considering the more recent track record of IE's beefing of security. Unfortunately the people writing these articles tend to have bias towards IE as a whole and not just against the mess that IE6 was.
...fall into this category, the way this article is writen is saying that every person with ASD is like this.
However, I am not.
I hate repeditive work, menial tasks and debugging. I'm a software dev anyway, but I make deal. It's just me who loves to make stuff that does what I want more easily since I am partialy lazy. I guess I'm not like everyone there.
And no, he's not really intelegent about what he does. We call him little napolean for a reason. My suspicions for this comment are so that people can stay with their current OS so they have more problems to fix. Rescuecom isn't a real tech "think tank" and shouldn't be treated as such.
Where I worked before we taged ours based on office and location. If you looked at a sky view of the entire office and were given the computer's name you could find the computer based on the grid location. An example is GM25F. GM (means something to us), 25th collumn, 6th row. That way when we get a trouble report or whatever we didn't have to call anyone to determine where they sat since our maps could tell us just by computer name.
A Microsoft patch/tool made...I dunno, four+ years ago could have prevented all of this? You know, if people bothered to install it? Much like...Conflicker(? is this right?) the patch is readily availble before the damage really gets underway or done.

So that's what the drunken guys at Microsoft UK were working on?

We just happen to call it lobbying.
Not that it's any different than a bribe.

Easy AD integration.
That this does not bar the humane society from adoption, etc. It only prevents mills and breeding which is why I'd be in favor of such a provision.
with the taxes they skillfully avoided paying.
Seriously. As if gouging on electronics wasn't enough, they haven't the heart to pay federal taxes either!
Err...I mean sweater, not dress. Whoops.
Depends...do you wear a dress?
No wait, not a chance. You'd be too busy with the telephone but here you are spouting and chatting on the comment boards. HA!
I half expect people to now pray to Steve now.
"In the name of the Mac, iPod and Steve Jobs, Amen."
Anybody know of a good mac antimalware solution? Oh wait...

Yet another reason people need to abandon 32-bit OSs. Seriously. What's the point of using half the power of your CPU?

Security is not hard people...
I'd never have to stop driving to relieve myself again. Just make sure I've got plenty of water handy.
