  1. Re:Message to Virginia Fusion Center, from Anonymo on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 1

    I am not a Scientologist, but Anonymous is a bunch of racist, religious bigots. Anonymous, KKK, it's all the same thing. These people are domestic terrorists and should be stopped at all cost.

    If you paid $500 to get Vista with your computer, you were scammed. Sorry.

    Haha, 4 times for the same file copy? I can see why you posted that as AC. Mod parent Insightful only if you have no clue.

    Please, it's not just sudo, it's heap of other crap too. It's "I stopped these things from being launched at startup and there's no way to override this behaviour".

    Your application is trying to be launched at startup in an fishy way. For some reason, my apps are not. HMM.

    It's "I'm silently going to re-route any writes to the C:\Program Files\X directory to a virtual subdirectory under the user account, so that users can see different versions of files when looking in the same place".

    There's no good reason for writing there, and doing so is exactly what messed up "running as an administrator" in XP and below. Ask the author of your application to make it less retarded.

    It's a lot of annoying, unnecessary and unchangeable crap. That's why I switched it off anyway.

    Is it? I've seen many, many ways to reduce or even eliminate the warnings, even without turning of UAC. It's almost like you're being proud of being an idiot.

    YMMV, you may not want an ext2 driver (not MS signed/approved!) launched at system startup, and you may not ever want to edit any configuration files stored in program files (or never launch processes as another user) but I consider those pretty important.

    Yes, I'd prefer that they would install like normal drivers (not at system startup) and that they go through the effort of getting signed. And if you're still on 32bit Windows, this is not even a problem.

    But it kinda confirms my thought that you were running vague software written by Linux people for Windows.

  5. Re:Short: Don't work as Administrator on Security Hole In Windows 7 UAC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Saying that you shouldn't be running as administrator is stupid; UAC's purpose was to make it safe to use administrator accounts.

    Uh no. UAC's purpose is to make it possible (in practice) not to use administrator accounts. Pretty much the complete opposite.

    Yes, because obvious ENTER is a much more intuitive shortcut for renaming a file than F2 is. Fucking fanboys.

    From your post I understand that when a girl takes a picture of herself, sends it to a boy, and the timing is right, it's ok for the boy to be charged? :/

    Yes, obviously just making one option "autorun program from USB stick" will keep people from autorunning programs from USB stick. I wonder why nobody thought of this before...

    I think you'll find that those rips you find on Usenet, P2P, Rapidshare and what not are almost all XviD and not DivX.

    I would go as far as to say that the policy itself has not been cancelled, just the use of the term 'Fair Game' because of, as outlined in the cancellation letter, "bad PR" (HCO Policy Letter of 21 October 1968). Quote:

    The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations. This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP.

    No, instead MS adopted their normal "fuck you all" attitude and forced a new, ill conceived driver model onto the IHVs.

    I would have sworn that last thursday the Big Problem was Microsoft holding on to the past too much and keeping backward compatibility too high on the priority list.

  24. Re:^---- what jeffmeden said. on Gmail, SPF, and Broken Email Forwarding? · · Score: 1

    My biggest problem with Google Apps is that you need to open seperate accounts for each domain instead of managing several domains from the same administrative account. I know you can set up "domain aliases" but that's not exactly what I was thinking about. Also, when automatically forwarding email from a Google account, it doesn't seem to be filtering out messages it regards as spam. I had hoped it would.
