What in the world is happening in the comments of this thread? Is there some kind of Trump brigade in force?
Here's an additional fact check from politico - http://www.politico.com/blogs/...
The comments she made are quite smart and thoughtful. This is just an absurd world we live in where reality no longer matters.
My main take away from this election is that the human race has immense challenges still left for it to overcome. I am completely shocked at how emotional people are in this election process and unable to perform any critical thinking. It is as if millions of people have just turned off their brains.
In WWI and WWII, you can study things like propaganda, historians are going to find a new item here to study. The effect it has had on the populace is remarkable.
These "folks" - Yeah the first OS i've used was in fact win95 - sorry but I'm late generation it seems. The complaint is that I don't want to change my OS if I don't want to, and that should be my choice - plain and simple. You spin your own web and live in the world you can neatly categorize.
You say its different, yet don't even realize what different means. Different can mean hundreds of hours reconfiguring and migrating applications. Different means hundreds or thousands of dollars in migration costs. How naive are you to think you know what's best for everyone else?
Why is the onus on me to be FORCED to try it? Why can't I at least say no thanks I'll look at it another time. If I want to update I'll do so, at this time I have no wish to spend any time migrating to a new operating system where I have to migrate and fix everything I'm doing on my system where I don't even have confidence everything I do now will in fact migrate.
The update nag to windows 10 does not let you say no! It remains forever until you uninstall it. Windows 10 may be god's gift to man, but if I want to chill in ignorance than let me do so. Why are you so arrogant that you know what's better for me? I can handle that fine, thanks. Maybe I'll love windows 10 but if I don't want it that's also my choice - and that's what you don't seem to understand.
To make it easy on everyone else:
On windows 7 uninstall update -
KB3035583
http://microsoft-news.com/how-...
You literally have to remove a window update to get rid of it - I love how the update when you install it gave you no indication what it actually was going to do. I seriously hate how updates work with windows.
I look forward to the hundreds of stories on how no one wants to move off windows 7, and how windows 7 is still present in huge numbers in the year 2025. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't realize that I don't want my desktop to look and operate like my phone.
Indeed. It's not a _related_ article but a OP ED by Grover Norquist. The most most right-wing anti-tax advocate out there, it's hardly an article where a journalist actually performed research on it independently.
I'm very interested in understanding any tax consideration that may arise, but I automatically discount anything from the lunatic fringe that have their life agendas at stake.
Your eyes will change with age and Lasik does not address the natural degradation over time that happens to most people. Depending on her age she would likely have worse vision today if she didn't have it done earlier.
There really isn't going to be malware that sophisticated where they will attack the browser just waiting for the master password to be entered. Additionally, it would need another avenue to attack the OS/browser. From a perspective of a normal user, I would say that the master password would protect you from the vast majority of attacks that rely on reading your password in plaintext stored in your settings. Additionally, while possible, sniffing out the master password is still possible, no malware authors would go so far to get those passwords outside of specific targeted attacks. There is just so much other low hanging fruit. I think a master password is an imperfect but effective tool to use.
I've started to use Keepass myself for password management, they have browser plugins but I have not evaluated it yet myself. Password encryption for storage is a good thing, not a bad thing!
I just purchased a laptop from https://www.system76.com/ their laptops come only with Ubuntu, had excellent customization options, and reasonable pricing (why is it so hard to customize laptops nowadays, when did this happen =\ ) My colleague recommended them and I get my laptop Monday so I don't have first hand experience yet, but I just had to make this decision and that's what I ended with selecting.
I think the PHP Gtk binding are still a compile from source mission on ubuntu, there was not a package available when I needed it a few weeks ago. Plus if you leave the module in your default php config, it breaks php (as in won't run even non Gtk scripts) whenever it it run from somewhere without a window manager available (ssh, cron, etc).
All in all a pain in the ass.
I'm about to give up installing the requirements for a GUI on CentOS 5.3
trying to get php-gtk installed is quite the venture.
I work in the financial industry (trading) and I do not think you really know what the FIX protocol does. Take a look at their adopters, This is a stock/option trading protocol not a banking exchange protocol.

Back in 2003 I found an exploit due to java and cookies that allowed me to access ANY account number on a popular online stock broker. It took me over 30 minutes just to convince them over the phone they had to hear me out. After I demanded multiple times for them to give me a random account number they had control of, I read off their stocks and quantities the manager has a profound moment of silence. Considering I had the ability to wreck financial havoc, and if I wanted to get life in prison I could have bankrupt their company, disrupted the financial markets and liquidated/bought out stocks on all their accounts (given enough time and if their auditing procedures were lax) From this experience I've essentially treated everything as if there was no security and simply rely on auditing of my records and financials and any important other accounts/information. I would LOVE to have great security everywhere in software applications, but I know it not happen any time too, while I try to follow safe guidelines on what is risky, honestly we are at the mercy of others. The only solace I have is that generally most people are not criminals, and those that are are usually caught from their own stupidity. If AmeriTrade decides to do an independent audit, I think they have a very good chance of finding the culprit. Will they actually do it? I hope so.
While in my adventure I wondered if at the end I'd get a reward for reporting this immediately, (I didn't) the fact that a novice like myself, at the time, could find a flaw so immense was a turning point in removing what was left of my naivety in this world.
That night though I think like anyone else the fantasy of selling the information to some russian hackers was very humorous. The flaw was not fixed for over 4 days from when I reported it. Sometimes it is very nice not to see your name in the newspaper...
What is a long time for you? I've copied via NFS and CIFS (samba) at fairly impressive levels. 40+ gigs in as fast as my disks could write. Perhaps I've not done transfers on the terabyte scale but have you tested your transfer speeds with NFS/CIFS to get a reference point? I imagine that when you transfer 4 terabytes it's going to take a while no matter what protocol you use to transfer the data.
Most people are attacking his article based on the perception he is advocating a utopia of perfection. I think that is far from the actual truth, perhaps there was better language he could have used but after reading his books and blog for years his ideas are very simple and I think valid.
He is saying our entire focus currently is on pushing out products that are insecure and only revisiting their security at a later date, or passing the problem off to a third party. There is an example where we hold car makers responsible if their brakes are faulty, with fines and safety regulations. I have not seen any judgments against software vendors that held them liable for security problems that allowed an attack to impact it's functionality. The de facto stance in IT is that software will always be horribly insecure and we need to mitigate it with security products. We could easily, and should demand that software vendors are accountable for providing far more secure products. Perfect security is impossible, but the current state is abysmal.
We expect that all our computers are inherently insecure, we do not question it just accept it and mitigate the consequences as best as possible. Why should this be the best method to produce products? Fixing the products at the source, the vendor, is a less expensive and smarter option. It increases security without a third party layer, without having to even stack further layers to cover those vulnerabilities.
Do it right the first time, (as best as you can) and we will all benefit greatly. In functionality, productivity and as a society. Anything that hurts our society, slows our innovation and hurts us all. Our tasks are boring, highly technical, and seem mundane... but always remember how the things we do ultimately enrich all our lives.
Unless we are fearful of Skynet, and need a way to destroy it at a later date by deluging it with ILOVEYOU emails, we should strive for increasing computer security at the root levels.
I recommend going to google and fixing your kernel configuration when you build it. Those drivers changed recently and you simply just haven't done your homework. A very simple thing to do is to build in all the SATA drivers, but you will want to narrow it down.

I never went blind during my procedure whatsoever. Your eyes get tired and you close them as they get very sensitive but I was never blind at all.
