I have had nothing but great success getting Windows software to work with Wine under Linux. I just installed Photoshop today. Granted, some apps, especially Java based (getting an app to work with JDK without replacing OpenJDK system wide), require some finagling , but it can be done. I realize we are largely talking about the corporate sector, but for those at home who are running Linux primarily and have a backup Windows machine for those apps that are Windows only...
Hard to say if this will get modded up or down. This late in the game, probably nowhere.
The sad sad sad sad truth? This is likely the sort of bullshit that more and more websites will start to implement over the next couple of years, en mass.
Yes. Yes it is. Having spent far too long (thankfully no longer) supporting this kind of scenario, re-imaging is all that is left. We are talking about Windows, and often enough, this is the most reasonable solution. That is just how it is. When all else fails, use fire. This scenario has been the corporate solution to fixing a problem this extensive with Windows crapping out in in a matter where all else fails for a very, very long time. We are talking about Windows in a corporate environment after all.
I set it off with an ellipse to convey irony. The pause is a context clue. You got me on the other one. I knew someone would call me out on something if I didn't proofread. I did not proof read. My pre-selected response? It's a blog post. A bit of a difference there. I would call you a pendant, but the entire context of my post was pedantry.
Why is he being interviewed in a nursery? The background is a distraction as I keep wondering what circumstances led to his being interviewed in a nursery. Also, who is doing the interviewing? One of the biggest problems I have making it more than ten-seconds into these interviews is the person doing the interview. Terrible voice for interviewing. Poor sentence structure and all around word usage. Oh yeah, "Uh" and "Um" are not words. Some time back someone else was conducting an interview and they did a passable job.
You mentioned it is a work computer. Have you considered backing up your files and re-imaging? If it's a work computer their licensing should accommodate that. I'd say you are already pretty far past the point where that common practice would take place.
Talk about naive. A seven year old absolutely needs to be supervised when using a mobile or any internet connected device. The most maddening part of this is that he seems to be expecting Apple to babysit his kid.
Well damn. I hate to reply to myself but this prompted me to take a look at what they are currently trying to do. I had no idea that they had gone Android. That is a crowded market but perhaps it will be enough. Time will tell.
A long time ago I worked for a carrier. One day someone from Blackberry corporate was there. He had a demo device of their yet to be released all touch screen smart phone. I really kind of liked it. No one said it to his face, but by then we already all knew that it was too late. Then again, I am sure he did too. This would have been a perfect time for Microsoft to buy them just for their technology. Its's too late now though, they are knee deep in the platform they are currently offering.
Hmm. If the ship is unable to deviate or come back, would we try to get them a message that they are really screwed, or just let it go because there is no point in freaking them out?
I think I made a mistake... If the slow boat has been travelling at relativistic velocity, 150 on the ship would be pretty far in the future relative to time on Earth. Okay, that is making my head hurt. Is there anyone here who sees where I am going with that and could clarify?
This poses some interesting possibilities. Let us say for example that we do find human-habitable places in the galaxy, but they are very far away so we send generation ships. Now let's say that 150 years into a 300 year journey some seriously fast FTL is invented on Earth (I more than suspect it is not possible though, hope I'm wrong). They now just have a few years journey. Would we send a ship to pickup the people on the slow boat? It would be kinda nuts to finally get there and find humans have been there for shy of 150 years. Then again if it's wormhole technology we would probably have to drag half of the device to the other planet to begin with.
Al Jazeera is one of the largest news organizations with over 80 bureaus around the world. The North American version is actually quite liberal and certainly much more reputable than Fox News. We hosted those videos too, and Fox News has never had a problem interviewing people spouting the same sick conspiracy theories and anti-Semites of the like that are only evil to interview outside of the United States. Not to mention they have a light-weight website. They reported on the 47 executed in Saudi Arabia, which included Al Qaeda members, and they did so in a straight forward and unbiased way. Feel free to defend your argument. There certainly are a lot of things you could cite. I have errands to run and will counter later.
Their hearts *might* be in the right place, but not their packets. If they wanted some real practice they would do some serious old fashion investigative work and dig up any and every detail they can on the Linode attack and then give that information to the company so that they might mount a better defense strategy and perhaps help the law enforcement side of things. After all, these gray hats are running with the right circles, no...? Then again, their "practice attack" was something script kiddies could have likely pulled off. I'll bet this is all about ego. They are playing with fire.
How does this represent a lack of comprehension? Linux is System V style and FreeBSD is, well, BSD style. When we use the term Unix, or *nix we are simply being all encompassing because it's easier than having to continuously draw the distinction. You used the term yourself. I gather from your post you are also thinking "why bother?". Why not?

The fuck?
SE was okay. Except for the TCP/IP stack.

But seriously, invoke your inner hacker and solve it with that style, it is not hard.

I yield.

There are a couple of things on your site you might want to change to make it more... better.
"I'm in a mood for a comedy."
Should read:
"I'm in the mood for a comedy"
"Show route to the Battery Park."
Should read:
"Show the route to Battery Park."
"Hey Robot, can you clean in the living room now?"
Should read:
"Hey Robot, clean the living room."
After all if it says no we have a big problem ; P
You should also re-write the "requests processed" counter to at least look variable.
I'm not picking on you. Constructive criticism is important and so are little details.
Editors: fix summary link to his companies website. It's not like we all can't figure it out, but it is still unprofessional.

Dealing with different versions but you should be able to modify the instructions.
Mod Lumpy up. Thanks for that, I had never considered. I think I'll grab me up a TRS-80 Model III and some debugging manuals while I'm at it. No joke.
I really hope you don't have a gun in your house.

I agree. I don't ad block for that very reason.

Honestly "Mugshot" sounds like a pretty good name for a selfie app.
