Not quite, there are some statistical experts that can pull some interesting facts out of a mess of almost useless data. In World War II, I beleive, they had spies try to find out how many tanks Germany had. Then they had staticians. Historians now know just how many there were. The staticians were much closer. How they did it, I do not know.
That's actually bad Feng Shui. It's like having your garbage out in plain site or keeping your place messy. It is ugly, and slowly makes you want to avoid the area. It depresses you, and is yin. Remove it from site, clean up your place, organize, and hide your garbage. Have a nice day.
I actually thought of that myself when I read about it. It was the first thing that came to mind. I figured that there was some kind of backdoor that allows China to easily decrypt communication and spy on people. That's why they require all people in China to use it. If they had Americans using it, they could spy on Americans... though I really have no idea why they would want to do that.
What a puny settlement. Sony got off so scott free it's unreal. One of those CDs can bring down a corporate network and screw them out of millions really fucking easily. All one of the employees has to do is play that song in one of their computers and then, with computers connected to the Internet and running around as admin all the time, that box is going to be a Worm Server 2003. That will just bring down the whole network with spyware and viruses. Anyone who's cleaned spyware knows that spyware clearly believes in safety in numbers, as they come by the hundreds.
I was told by my dad that running around as admin was bad. It made sense and so I did that. I did all my installing as admin and then created a user account which I ported all my personal files to. Then I changed permissions around so that I could run around as user and do all that I did. I still had trouble with going into admin mode easily. Windows does not implement a very practical priviledging system.
I could use fast user switching but some options eliminate this ability, which forces me to log out and into the admin account which sucked. I found a way to "sudo" what I wanted. runas is a very handy program provided with Windows XP. It's command line so you drop it in a batch file. Then comes the Control Panel that has no executable associated with it.
To solve this problem, you go and fetch some utility that lets you poke into.dll files for the functions inside. Then you go searching the Windows.dll files. Have fun, it will take a while. Eventually you'll find it. I forget exactly which one and what function. Then you use rundll32 on it and call that function. Control Panel then pops up. Combine this with runas and set it to ask for the password when you invoke the command. When done, make a shortcut on your desktop or wherever that points to the batch file that you set up with the command above. Whenever you click on that shortcut, it asks for your password in a DOS prompt. You can use this step on several little Windows components.
Of course, you could just use Linux which comes all set up properly rather than running around figuring out what files a certain app wants to poke at.
Why does Microsoft bundle malware in with it's new operating system? That should kill out the competition in the malware market and make it easier on the rest of us with a homogenized environment. No more spyware trouble:D
My friend who's a major comic book buff once told me that he thinks the idea of Batman going after Usama bin Ladin was a bad idea. I was surprised at his comment since I thought it would be really interesting to see Batman go at it. My friends opinion was that a comic must be a good read for both children and adults and mixing political messages defeats that effect.
It seems that Microsofts karma just might catch up to them. If the rumors are true, and this whole post will assume that certain rumors are true, then Microsoft has hidden layers and interfaces as well as code designed to cause certain programs to fail to function. Dr. DOS, Netscape Navigator, and a few other programs that were crushed due to these dirty tricks (continuing assumptions...) will find retribution finally for the wrongful deaths.
FUD will die. Microsoft's Windows will become more stable (notice: more assumptions) since millions will be writting patches all over the place, and we'll see a golden age in computer...
Microsoft on the other hand will be sued out of life and limb.
Naw, there's been recursive patches. I used to be a HelpDesk Techie and I'd install Windows on a bunch of machines. There's a whole bunch of rebooting and going back to Windows Update over and over again long before this patch recursion.

Google is just peeing on Microsoft's fire-hydrant.
Get REAL people!

Dude, that's pretty badass. I might get one! It would be a sweet box you wouldn't have to worry to much about getting stolen.

I know how much we all love Captain Copyright, so here are some pictures you can legally download, print, and color: http://www.captaincopyright.ca/Kids/ColouringBook. aspx
I bet $500 10:1 that this is a dupe!
Both designs pwn in my opinion. I'm working on design myself... I'm struggling, it's not looking terribly good.
wtf are you talking about?

Hence the rediculously unlikely event known as, (Thunderous Voice) "Peircing of the Corporate Veil." (/Thunderous Voice)

One of these days pressure is going to build up, there will be another erruption, and that ball will be blown into outer-space.

That's why I got a card for my box. I read a while ago about this 'flag' and bought a card.
- "You get what you pay for."
- "Windows is more advanced than Linux will ever be."
- "That GUI on Linux is ugly"
I think that wraps it up for the best ones I've heard.There are three errors in that post. One is the 3 which should be 4. Where are the other two?
Yes... I stole this from Bash; sue me.
This gives new meaning to the term, "I think, therefore I am."

I don't understand... why won't one with knowledge work in a computer shop?
