Recently with the Google "omg read ur mailz" thing I thought the addition of a new tag should be in order. Everyone tag things like this with transmittingisreading
I completely agree. I have absolutely no idea why you'd want some OS smacked on your hdds when you get the box. If anything, have Ubuntu server installed on a new server is *harder*. First you have to figure out how they set everything up etc...why would you even try. Its much simpler to just wipe and use a setup you know and have loaded on your other servers.
To OEMs: Give us the hardware, thats IT. Nothing more please, its just more work for us erasing it.
Why they even bother doing this...it really amazes me.
Did you RTFA? This article is about root filesystem access, not about unlocking the wireless firmware for other carriers. We've already had this discussion before.
Yea, you caught arch at a bad time (in the middle of a major repo change last weekend). The kernel is still.22 because of this. I imagine it will be updated later on tonight. Oh, and with arch you can choose stable or testing and easily switch between them (or install some testing stuff, etc).
No. Your wrong there sir. Its binary based, however non-repo packages (Arch User Repository) are compiled via build scripts. You can also compile packages from source with pacman (pacman -Sb instead of pacman -S).
My distro (Arch Linux) should have packages up within a couple days. And since the ftp iso installs from the repos, its *already up to date*. The isos don't even need to be touched.
Ok firstly:
This is something called "digital" at some point something is going to actually read your message! Yes! It will! If your scared why not encrypt all your email? The so called "people" reading this email will not be able to see it plaintext, and the machines digest it as normal.
Everything reads the goddamn mail, its information going over wires. Your analogy breaks down with the real mail because it never has to be opened to be transmitted...email has to be "read" by all the damn routers it goes through, smtp servers, etc.
In conclusion, I wish everyone would get some sense and realize that real mail has a separate set of rules than email.
"lol 4.8 gig a second lol"
This is what I'm seeing. Most people fail to see that a byte is indeed 8 bits! Miraculous indeed. Guess why they say things in gigabits/s. Its a bigger number, therefore the masses get attracted to it. Huzzah!
Its very simple. When the machine boots, if you don't login successfully after 10 or so seconds, then it phones home. I don't see why people are always screaming about "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG IT TRACKS YOU TOO I HATES IT!111?!?eleventy-one". Its a simple fix.
I guess they just assume that you need new cartridges by the next week:P
Maybe they had a "how much do you print?" option or something that determines the frequency of their ad newsletter:P

...it can't be stopped.
...and its secure from the start.
Linux Admin: "BSD? lolwut? thats like that OS from the fifties right?"
OpenBSD Admin: *sigh*

Well, there *are* more commands that have to be run in fdisk. Its more work in that regard, so it *is* still more work :P
Look up sysrescue CD. Its got all the standard recovery tools, and X11 for gparted. Small ISO size too.
...frame someone! *Camera pans to M$*

So has anyone done any "real" benchmarks yet? Hmm? Hmm? What would the robot do!
And thats what would have happen if I had invented the finglonger...a man can dream...a man can dream...
OH! We're talking about outside of my home? Oh well yea its more like 90% out...there.
...the Apple Mac doesn't have 95% market share... Neither does Windows.One word: ThunderCougarFalconBird.
No what you do here is use an oss pdf viewer that doesn't support said buggy feature. Problem Solved.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.
Then sell the AT&T stock. Although it looks like it won't buy much google stock atm...like 42$ vs 610$ :P
Who the fuck modded this troll?
OP is perfectly right! "Here give your friend this game! LOL we now own your friends life too!"

Yeah, firmware downloaded at driver load rather than flashed on a chip. I know its still software but the same idea.
So why didn't you get the MBA instead of investing the loan?
