Exactly. If you are trying to clean an infected Windows machine while running infected Windows, you are doing it wrong. BartPE or any of the bootable Live CDs are your friend. In particular, UBCD4Win works wonders and has saved me hours of frustration in the past. And I deal with at least 2 infected comupters a month of all different types of malware/virus/trojan/rootkit problems. So far have not needed to start over from scratch once. Once you learn the newest tricks the malware authors are using, it is pretty easy to clean the machines.
Well, the whole "GHz isn't everything" mantra was repeated over and over by Apple when they were using slower clock speed Motorolla PPC chips. I noticed how they liked to show how much better the new Macs with Intel chips performed over their older PPC models after they made the switch as well. Kind of like "ignore everything we said before about how inferior those Intel chips were over our Motorolla chips now that we are using them too".
So that is what I was referencing. I wasn't supporting or denying any actual claims about GHz comparative speeds or any of that nonsense. I am not really into the whole "comparing e-cock size" contests about hardware and which is better than which. If it works for me, I use it. When it doesn't anymore, I buy something that will.
That's not true. I have it on good authority that there are actually a whole lot of retarded shits out there. Just tune in to Jersey Shore for 10 seconds and see for yourself if you don't believe me.
Yeah, becasue as an IT manager if my disaster recovery plan was started the day of the disaster itself, I would be out of a job. I mean you can't ever factor in that everything won't work exactly as planned every time, and mistakes never happen, now can you? Oil companies should be required to have stuff like this in place for when (and not "if") it happens.
Yes, this! Outlaws was the best western themed shooter made to this day. Great game, great voice acting, great story, and kick ass music. Why is it so hard to make a game like this now and why didn't Lucasarts ever make a sequel? I fired up my old copy a couple years back and had a blast playing it even at 10 years old.
Typical ignorant response. Read the post. He is from India - you know, the country who fought off the British? Hardly a "yank" by any means. Nice try though.
And I suppose you have zero unhealthy habits? You work out at least 3 times a week? No caffeine, fatty foods, alcohol, red meat, etc. and you always wear your seat belt, never have unsafe sex, or a single unhealthy thought ever? Because if not - Yo kettle, this is the pot. You are black.
Kids today have no place to channel aggression. Thus we get things like columbine happening.
There were more school shootings in the 80s than there were in the 90s or 00s. School shootings have been on a decline since 1993 - the problem is 24 hour news networks sensationalizing the few shootings that did occur making them high profile. But the actual numbers have been going down for quite a few years now.
The whole "kids are more violent and less respectful now" theme has probably been going on for as long as there have been children.
This makes sense. Especially the whole "third party entering the equation possibly wrenching some of the control away from Apple" part. I am sure the decision was made to maximize profits first - any benefit this has to their customers is probably a happy side effect.
Maybe if demand was that high, Apple should have either- 1) Charged more or 2) Made more before selling them. Apple makes the same amount of profit per unit whether one or several million people buy them so why should they care at all? Now not only does Apple want to control your software and hardware choices, they also want to mess with the laws of economy as well. Oh Steve Jobs, what won't you try to control?
3. You can draw diagrams - try doing that in real time on a laptop.
What year in the past are you visiting from again? Students where I work have been doing this for years now. And tablets you can write or draw freehand on have been around for years as well, no matter what Apple wants you to think.
Here in the US college students also use their laptops to record entire lectures that they can play back later and take excellent notes from as well. (That takes care of # 1 and 2) Also, if you are good at typing, you can type notes much faster than you can write them. Also makes reading and sharing of the notes easier later.
Because unlike this site where any anonymous idiot can spout off after 2 clicks, making people jump through a few additional hoops eliminates much of this riff-raff.
If you are broadcasting radio waves that can be picked up by anyone within broadcast range, your expectation of privacy should be zero. It would be different with wired, becasue that would mean someone would need physical access, and would most likely be trespassing and possibly breaking and entering to obtain physical access. When I can sit out in front of your house on public property and receive radio waves you are sending out, no crimes are being committed. What I am doing is passive, not active - the one actively broadcasting would be you. If you don't want your privacy "invaded", don't publicly broadcast what you are doing.
No, we need an Environmental Protection Agency that actually protects the environment instead of business interests. Non-mandatory pollution reduction programs instead of regulations - who knew only 2 businesses in the country would sign up for them and reduce pollution on their own without being legally obligated to do so?
I don't see the two choices as mutually exclusive. I can realize that sometimes mistakes are made at high level of federal law enforcement involving innocent people (Anyone remember Richard Jewell?), and I can also chose to live my life not being paranoid about getting nailed for something I am not involved with. It isn't an either/or choice by any means. I realize the chance of mistake identity are small, but I won't pretend they don't exist at all.
When a private business decides not to take advertising dollars from a site, it is not censorship. It is doing business. Google is free to take or not take money from anyone it chooses. Forcing them to take or not take money would be more akin to censoring their freedom to choose. Why should someone else get to decide what is best for a private business?
That is why it is ALWAYS appropriate to wear a fake tuxedo t-shirt daily to work, like I do. Some things in the fashion world are just timeless and never go out of style.

Pointing out Apple did participate does not mean AMD and Intel didn't, and I never made any claims or inferred that anywhere.

That is, until Apple also started using Intel chips.
The only one that's a "retarded shit" is you.

It is all just an allusion.

Everything is best in moderation. Including moderation.
Even though small amounts of caffeine or alcohol may be beneficial, that does not mean that not ingesting small amounts is unhealthy.

Well, you need to provide your own booze, but otherwise, yes. They even have "happy hour" every day between 2 - 4 pm.

Maybe we ought to put some of them in charge, just to switch things up a bit.

Right, becasue everyone knows that mistakes are never made by law enforcement.
I mean if you don't have anything to hide, why should anyone be worried?

Possible, just not very probably or easy.
