Do a simple and clean install, saving personal docs and with the right payload (like WhicheverOfficeFork, video player, music player, etc). Do it with one of the XP/IE lookalike themes... the "victim" would only wonder why their PC suddenly started performing well.
If you poke a hole in your wife while trying something new, she does not just make a whistling sound and fly away. (Ok, maybe- depending on the location of the hole.)
the point is experimentation without the disaster involved with failure when tested at sea.
"chief, the turret bolts failed, and it slid off the platform."
Option A: "get the crane and put it back on." Option B: "get a diving crew, survey the wreckage, and determine if recovery is feasible. Notify supply to start the build on a replacement just in case."
I thought the metric system was a decimal system. Who knew it was divided in to parts of 50,25,10,5 and 1 like the US currency system. Learn something new every day.
there are TONS of people taking the extreme stance here. No one can envision a 3d printed cast, or homemade oxygen concentrators. the bulk of the outrage is along the lines of "How DARE they 3D print a new heart in their garage!!11!!"
There is a happy medium of non life-threatening tools and devices that can save people a lot of money. I seriously doubt these people are making implanted pacemakers or bluetooth retina replacements here.
"While it is true that the existence of any nuclear weapons *at all* brings us a lot closer to midnight than we otherwise would be....the existence of "a lot more than we would like" does not and should not bring us any closer to midnight."
That they exists keeps the clock between 5 and 10 minutes to midnight. how many is the variable of a minute or two.
not to defend the practice as a whole, just comparing 60 minute's variable to a 5 minute variable. A minute change is a minute. (pun intended)
When you know your product is consistently used illegally by a person, repeatedly selling them more of that product IS actionable.
"Hmm, Mr Gacy. It shows here you stuck the last three screwdrivers we sold you into people's skulls. We are going to have to refuse you any future product."

We blocked facebook a couple of years ago. the wailing and gnashing of teeth was everywhere.
It went away rather rapidly when we offered to open access on a per-person basis with a request, signed by management, as to what their business need for facebook was. Same with streaming radio and video sites. When your allocated bandwidth for a site is operating at a constant 80% or more, and 90% of THAT is recreational/entertainment sites something has to change. They bitched, but real business traffic began working properly again. Satellite offices for the energy sector tend to have very limited internet options. hell, one is still rocking a T1 because we can't get a better option with low enough latency for their needs.
reacting to an increase in mail traffic from a known mail server? Spam has used botnets and distributed sending for a decade. Only the total noob mom-and-pop shop tries to direct mail spam anymore.
Perhaps if they watched for more modern malware signatures instead they would be more effective.
netflix lost a lot of content to license holders who wanted more money. they were making money where none had existed before- but got greedy and demanded profit-breaking amounts when contract renewal came up. Now they make none again and I have to watch them from torrents instead of paying for them like I was.
Or I can use a wireless point-to-point that will give me an incredible 64kb/sec! If I had the money for the hardware, I might consider it. Gotta be better than the suck-ass bandwidth Comcast gives out here.
Where they knew those commodities were toxic, so they insured themselves against the eventual meltdown- netting them another few billion for a self inflicted minor wound.
These are growing, and opening new ones in different places.
you are warned when you buy the ticket, when the ticket is torn, on the door, and on the screen in text as well as audio "Turn off your phone. No text, no calls. if you take your phone out of your pocket, you will be ejected from the movie with no refund."
And then they actually DO it. Ushers stand and watch the crowd the whole movie. Also, they record your bitchy phone calls if you call to complain, and add those to the audio portion of the warning.

no harm, no foul?
Really. Try it.
Search for something. Boom, there it is, right. Now, search again for what you want nearby. Boom, there it is.
All they did is remove unnecessary keystrokes/selections.

unless they apply the universal "national security" or "suspected terrorist" to the warrant. then they get to do anything they want.

Their feed from SkyNet is very informative.
The missile, if ever built and launched at SK, will hit China. Then the problem will immediately and with extreme prejudice solve itself.

read the article, they were moving him to their location, not working from India.
A lot of people seem to be forgetting the "National Origin" part of the racial discrimination law.

There is a definite line between monitoring for malware and censorship. hunting down and burning the malware at the stake is a plus, not a detractor.

Time to re-enable "dialup" and wrap torrents in the unlimited voice band of my package.
A little more patience is needed, but something is better than nothing.

methinks you have not checked the markets very well.
7 competitors in a major metro would be nice.
7 competitors in a rural small town would be 7 companies starving to death.
I can use Comcast, or I can use Xfinity.
Or I can use a wireless point-to-point that will give me an incredible 64kb/sec! If I had the money for the hardware, I might consider it. Gotta be better than the suck-ass bandwidth Comcast gives out here.

Companies complain about the lack of talent in the US. What they really mean is the lack of talent willing to work for less.
