due to a bunch of dickhead marketers and organized crime in foreign countries
Foreign if you're in europe maybe. Last time I checked, most spam originated from the US. Maybe it has changed the last year or two. Or maybe the dickhead marketers in the US vastly outnumber the organized crime (what's the difference, btw).
Thank you, Chris, for this extremely insightful comment! However, I see a tiny flaw in your suggestion here, since I actually read what you replied to:
We have high-speed business connections through Verizon and Comcast.
Some argued that other risks arise if you don't reboot, such as the possibility certain critical services aren't set to start at boot, which can cause problems. This is true, but it shouldn't be an issue if you're a good admin. Forgetting to set service startup parameters is a rookie mistake.
This is retarded. A good admin will test so that everything works, before it will get a chance to actually break. Anyone can fuck up, forget something, whatever. Doesn't matter how experienced you are. Murphys law. The only way to test if it will come up correctly during a non-planned downtime is to actually reboot while you have everything fresh in memory and while you're still around and can fix it. Rebooting in that case is not a bad thing, it's a responsible thing to do.
And my point was that nowhere in the subject, summary or article does google mention anything about not having DRM or having DRM. In fact, they don't say anything at all because the two links in the article are from Mozilla and Microsoft. The GP is just spreading FUD about google in this case. The headline is an open question asked by Microsoft.
I think our point is that you clearly suffer from a severe case of the "no true scotsman" syndrome. Seemingly, nothing we tell you can change your mind, and it looks like you will soon end up with "yeah but I mean real intelligence agencies like the one specifically in my office". Since you change your target every time new evidence shows up, it's unfalsifiable.
You could of course RTFA to find out. What do you think it means? What is the most likely meaning? Do you have severe autism so that you can not parse a simple sentence and ignore minor mistakes to get to the actual meaning behind the words?
Why not? Would everyone just stop working immediately if some afghan terrorist entered the white house and killed the president? Would the farmers stop farming? Would they stop milking their cows? If you actually do real work, it doesn't matter who pretends to be in charge.
I guess this is some sort of panic attack to be able to legally block wikileaks from the US and that make sure that Assange actually can be taken to court if it shows that he allowed someone in the US to take part of any of the leaked cables after this law is passed..
In Sweden, we can't apply laws retroactively, that is, if something is still legal at the time you do it, you have not suddenly committed a crime just because someone passes a new law. How is the situation in the US?
What are you talking about? I mentioned that they use it to check facebook, I never wrote that it was a bad thing to do. Maybe you should ask yourself why you thought it was bad to use a computer to check facebook?
Joe Average have no idea that his fancy new laptop is bugged down with crap because he doesn't know about any alternative, and only use the computer once a day to check facebook.
Doing this would most probably give them less money from the advertisers (yes, that's what they are). The more intrusive they are, the more money it's worth.

No need for destruction, just make them pay whatever it costs to clean up. They are the fourth largest company in the world. $272.2 billion in assets.

Uhm. It would also require that they contact every other company they are doing business with and ask them to change their mail server port, right?

Would these be dynamic too?

And you know this for sure, how? Or are you just spreading (paid-for) FUD?

So, you didn't even read the subject line this time? Just saw "google" and "html5 video" and noticed it was time for some anti-google FUD?
If you're confused by the three emoticons at the end of his sentence, how do you suggest that one indicates that a sentence or a section is a joke?

Actually, I think it's good that they require a degree, so they can at least spell "amaricans" correctly.
As ridiculous as it may sound, replace "Santa Claus" with "God" and all of a sudden we're not that far from reality anymore.

I thought you had plenty of guns in the US.
Why not? Would everyone just stop working immediately if some afghan terrorist entered the white house and killed the president? Would the farmers stop farming? Would they stop milking their cows? If you actually do real work, it doesn't matter who pretends to be in charge.
I don't think their target group knows nor care about what a computer is, so ANONYMOUS won't be able to do much damage here.
Apparently yours. It wooooooshed up there.

I put mine on the highest mountain I can find, then I nuke them from orbit.
And even if you did have that many mod points, you could only use one of them on the same post.
