After this little stunt, and if this trend continues in the future, I would be surprised if OO.o remained the office of choice in Ubuntu 11.04, or really any of the Linux distros who pride themselves on free software. Oracle is destroying its free-software products.
I didn't realize that Mission Viejo was such a hot market...
No one goes to The Shops except for locals. If MS really wanted to 'showcase' their products they could have chosen a much more high profile-venue. And there are plenty in OC: The Spectrum, South Coast, Fashion Island, or even The Block.
Not to mention the fact that there is a Costco across the freeway and a Best Buy a mile up. I'm sure they'll be happy to 'introduce' consumers to Microsoft (as if MS needs an introduction anyway).
If I had mod points I would label you a troll.
Please do embellish your claims of Mac users being more 'affluent' and likely to pay for software.
And let's not even get into the subject of 'quality' computers as I would beg to differ when it comes to Apple hardware.
I hate to be the victor of this election after Bush leaves (if he does). There is going to be a lot to mop up starting with what is left of our Constitution. Unfortunately if things take the turn for the worse, the opposition will have an easy scapegoat in 2012.
There is another way, he says. "It's probably in the user's best interest to just leave it at home." This is because FasTrak uses license-plate recognition as a backup.
I don't know about the other FasTrak systems in the state, but the TCA in Orange County will actually penalize you if your vehicle accumulates too many 'pay-by-plates.'
This is the perfect argument to get a web based cellphone. It completely puts the company out of the loop and you can send/receive whatever info you want.
Unless your boss proactively inspects your cell phone to see if it is on. Then you're fired.
(And yes, there are companies that do have this kind of policy.)
The better question to ask would be the relevance of requiring a driver's license for anything other than it was intended for: permission by the state to drive a vehicle.
I don't know whether you're trying to troll or are simply misinformed. RP's 'insane' ideas boils down to states' rights. For instance, don't you believe that schools are better managed locally than the likes of No Child Left Behind? Or would you rather have a one-size-fits-all approach to everything? Given how diverse this nation is, good luck with that one.
Then again, considering what has happened to our nation in the last seven years, maybe returning the federal government back to its proper role would be an 'insane' idea to those who have slept through their U.S. History classes.
Seriously? I thought real people grew out of social networking when they got out of college... Unfortunately it is not that simple, especially when you have contacts who use social networking sites exclusively to communicate with their friends over other mediums. We could sit here all day and discuss how craptastic the UI is for messaging or how we have to add yet another fvcking web site to log into for communication, but the reality is that there are quite a number of people out there who check their MySpace inbox more than their webmail inbox.
Maybe Apple has been told about these bugs and has had an opportunity to address them.
Like InputManagers? Oompa-Loompa, Inqtana.B, and more recently, 'iAdWare' all used InputManagers in order to execute as admins easily have read/write access to/Library/InputManagers. If you think that the easy solution is to not run as an admin for day-to-day tasks, you still have to worry about ~/Library/InputManagers. Apple dismissed InputManagers as a "feature." Fortunately, however, there is an easy way to protect yourself:
and likewise for your home Library folder. If you really want to tighten things down to the point where you need to boot into single user mode, do this instead:
Unfortunately, Panther users have to take an extra step as Apple decided to add a sticky bit to/Library in Tiger without applying that security fix to older iterations of OS X. So in order to enjoy the same permission model, Panther users need to run this:
sudo chmod 1775/Library
That is one example of how users can protect themselves now instead of waiting for Apple to do something (read: most likely never).
The local IT here actually recommends using 13375p34| for passwords such as C0lg4t3!1 for your favorite toothpaste. I personally use 1337 for a part of my passphrase but I wonder how many end users will actually use and remember such passphrases (it's easier for them to type "colgate" instead of the above example).

Notifications from US Bank and JPM have also gone out.

openSUSE and Ubuntu are switching to the LO codebase.

Considering that TFA suggests that this trojan silently downloads more programs, how would you know that you have completely eradicated the bugger?
The only real solution is to nuke and reinstall OS X.

Bad ISPs
They are using standard buisiness practices to ensure market share.
If by "standard" you mean leveraging their dominance in order to crush the competition and force their way into other avenues...
The lobsters are revolting.
GMP or in this case the lack thereof. Where was their QA in all of this?

A few lottery balls ought to unclog the tubes.
If it means not having the same crap on rotation foisted into my ears at least 10 times a day, I'm all for it.
This is modded insightful?

Just hope that some student or faculty at one of these institutions doesn't get the infamous lockdown in sector 4.
Would you trust a faceless corporation to important course or departmental messages in such an instance?
LA County's system was just decertified.
Medibuntu is a much safer way to install codecs and some third-party apps than Automatix.
Plastic. They're pretty durable for walls.
In Capitalist America, you listen to mixtape. In Soviet Russia, mixtape listens to you!
Correction: Forgot to insert my br tags after each command. Hopefully readers can still understand what is being accomplished.

/Library/InputManagers. If you think that the easy solution is to not run as an admin for day-to-day tasks, you still have to worry about ~/Library/InputManagers. Apple dismissed InputManagers as a "feature." Fortunately, however, there is an easy way to protect yourself:
