Actually I support this and not buying the game. Thats the flip-side of DRM. If someone figures out good DRM then that spreads and people don't buy. Suits get pissed because it didn't make money and that person is fired and that idea is flushed. The solution the one the suits hate. None. Accept some people will get the game fire and let them market it. Because there is always more honest people than not honest people.
Well if net neutrality doesn't get passed, that is our future. I know the RIAA would love to waterboard some people. And since when did advertisers not pwn machines? Cough google cough
cough microsoft cough.
Or did you mean someone Proctor and gamble?
So - I'm sitting here, reading about this newest manifestation of exploitable exploits, and wondering: "how does all this affect Debian?"
Then you offer up some solutions that would actually start to FIX THE PROBLEMS.
No script - check.
Adblock plus - check.
Turn off Flash - check.
Ditch silverlight/moonlight - check.
Disable Java - check.
What's left? Oh yeah - don't click on obvious bogus links, and don't agree to download a virus scanner. Like, I really need on on Debian.
What does that leave? Hmmmm. A damn good firewall - check. Firestarter may not be the best, but it hasnt' failed me yet!
Has anyone mentioned in this thread yet, that security is not a product - instead it is an ongoing process? I guess I just did.
Houston, all systems are go. May we have clearance for lift off?
I have a better solution, turn off your wifi or unplug that Cat 5 cable. You see, if you kill off all ads you have no way for anyone to make money and guess what there will be no internet because someone has to pay for it. So please do that. I call that leeching.
If Pluto's a dog, then what's the deal with Goofy?
The answer is simple Pluto is a dog, and Goofy is a dog erectus.
Actually the correct term would be Canis Erectus. Or if you perfer Goofus Canis Erectus. And considering the surface Temperture the pelts are amazing.:D
Actually, I will have to disagree with that. the script was much better. But Joel had no clue about good pacing, post production editing and other things. You could tell the green screen effects and the end where Link kills gannon, they didnt leave the hole in. It looked fan made and honestly it was done badly. The fan made LOTR movie looked like it was made with Peter Jackson's people. It fit. This was sad. So I am not angry with Nintendo because it was done so poorly.
However, we do need a fan provision. Basically it should say that us recognize that we can't make money off it and that the characters etc aren't ours and we are doing this to express our enjoyment of the story and as a way to add to it. The rights holder should recognize that we are doing his marketing and that he aren't harming anything (even if the production is really bad) and that a well recieved movie even if it is crappy could lead to a good movie.
(i think the movie could have been much better with a couple more actresses, and someone who understood how to edit a film.)
It won't be when it gets hacked and stolen from. An exec and an IT guy who was doing his job will get fired for it, but hey it was only records. its lazyness that is preventing them.
Windows fanboys are as rare as screwdriver fanboys, sure screwdrivers are useful but they are just a tool that works okay, why get excited about them? I've never understood the whole religious operating system wars.
You have obviously never been to a vodka convention. There are screwdriver fanboys everywhere.
I would agree with that assessment. However, back on topic, I have a 2 yr old acer 4720z that I upgraded from Vista home premium to 7 ultimate. It had no issues upgrading at all. It did it while I slept! What did I do right? I disabled everything that was user controlled, antivirus, everything. I dont use Norton or Mcaffee so I was home free. I honestly feel that this time, it is bad software (itunes, Norton, Mcaffee) left running in the background that hose the upgrade.
Sure, and then watch as you are called a racist. This study is so full of BS, its amazing. People make what they are comfortable with and because of all this PC stufff about (Like the Prof, Gates affair) no you aren't going to have those. and besides its a game!
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceedest on to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
Honestly describing to someone how to throw an hand grenade in Mojo Jojo style prayer is annoying at best.
Its sounds like Consumers dont need less protection, they need more was stolen from a presidential speech. Politics aside I let an antivirus on that a: can prove it can do its job. B: have a small footprint (avast has 6 programs in residence. They take less than 20% of total CPU cycles) c: will auto update without me having to do it manually.
Mcaffee has never passed this.
Norton did until WinXP.
I regularly have people remove either and replace them with something else ESET, AVG, avast. I use avast because: it auto updates daily. It blocks drive bys, its scans downloads, it blocks malicious website connections. And it has never failed to help kill an actual virus. (i get one per OS). I saw a recent version of Symantec on a friends computer who was complaining it has slowed down in the 3 months since he bought it and installed it. So after a Hijaack this run, I killed off symnatec, gutted all of it and its bloated 10 programs eating 50%, and installed Avast. No viruses on the system at all. It was symantec that slowed it down.

shocky monkeys are awesome. Its nice to see that Our Tax money is going somewhere other than the current massive boondoggle.

It probably made the movie better.
No but the guy hidden in the very back corner with the hand scanner was. But he was laughing at her though.
If that were true there would be no fight club as no one would join. No one would join because no one would know to join. Common sense.
Both! But you already knew that.
yes! absolutely. But a better suggestion is Commodore 64! its virus free! It NEVER GETS THEM. Hell, Linux can't even say that.

I personally am waiting on PS9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvDWvVDIF_0
Wait... Windows 7 is the vista service pack.
-jcr
Service pack 3 to be precise.
so basically you dont vote

and if they do, what then?
So you're saying that it would take just 11 posts on Twitter to kill someone?
It already has. Look at DJ AM.
So, who will get the worst punishment, this guy or the guy who modded consoles? Taking bets now!
The guy who modded consoles, sadly. One year for this guy and a ban from using radio bands for broadcast.
Wishes for mod points right about now.

sarcastic. The powerpuff girls writers got the monkey from Monty python anyway.

You first. And personally I think it will ruin alot of beautiful bum.
