That I've had in the last few days include walking to someone's office and showing them that their computer has a power button for when the screen shows 'No Signal.'
On the other hand, I've done some interesting things with servers, wiring, fiber, SAN's, etc. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, then do something else.
My friend got pretty lucky, it hit his My Music folder and everything ended up VBR mp3's. He is now locked inside his house for a while waiting for the RIAA to show up.
I wish him luck.
FreeNet is not a centralized server, however, so there really is no way of "shutting it down." It's the same thing as the RIAA playing "Whack-A-Mole" with current p2p file sharers. It's just another type of that, similar but different.
My question is what they're doing at this "Grown-Up" table? Is the table meaning they're all getting along friendly? Cooperating, making decisions together? For some reason, I just don't see Beastie, Tux, and the other OSS mascots sitting around chumming with Microsoft?
I am sophomore in college student attending school in the United States. Without the help of financial aid, I would not be attending school. Unfortunately, my parents cannot afford to help me out with my tuition and expenses. I have divorced parents; my mom is chronically ill, and my dad doesn't make enough to be able to help me.
I will probably be the first to be harmed by this proposal, if it goes through. I have tried to get financial aid, although I can only get about 1/7 of what I actually need. The rest is my life savings of having to work since I was 13 and what I am making working during school. If this does go through, I will not be able to finish my college career in 4 years, I might have to take some time off to work and save up, giving the next kid (who is lucky enough to have the money to finish school) a degree much faster at a younger age, putting him straight on top of the competitive age.
This is so unfortunate that our country is more concerned with copyright laws, etc, rather than our own students' well-being and their ability to learn the skills needed to be successful in the 21st century. After all, we will rule the world some day.
It's not a lack of willpower for some students to finish school; we're not all lazy and we do give a shit about what's going on. I guess our needs aren't heard very well...
I have Vista and QuickTime on a Toshiba M400 and have not had a BSOD from trying to play a.mov file. Check for updates? Try with laptop in tablet mode? Make sure you have all your drivers? Check the error numbers and trace where the BSOD is actually coming from.
I work at a place where we refill cartridges, and I would have to say that it's way cheaper than buying a new cartridge, and you get more. OEM cartridges have been found not to be entirely full when you buy them, but maybe 75-80% full. When you get them refilled (depending on where), they can fill them to the full capacity, but not over-fill, because then it simply won't print. Where I work, we test the cartridges that have the print-heads on the cartridge and not the tanks to ensure good printing. It's definitely cheaper, and you're getting more for your money. Can't go wrong?
I've run into a company that had a HD fail with approximately $2 million in information/account information lost. We simply called up http://www.drivesavers.com/ and they were able to recover it within a few days for under $2,000.
DriveSavers or even slave it and buy a license and use ZeroAssumption Recovery or something. I think they overshot the solution and made way more work for themselves at a way higher cost.
Along with many others who have commented, I believe that dicipline is the most important thing to using these products. If you are assigned "Emergency Dudy" as some were at my company (salaried employees), then you should probably keep the thing on. If you don't really need it, go ahead and turn it off. It just feels better to be disconnected for a bit.
If you really want to be secure, in my oppinion, is not to have sensitive data stored on a computer. But then again, it's not a reality. Strong encryption is the next best bet.
One thing I would recommend is lookin into certifications, mainly CompTIA A+. http://certification.comptia.org/a/. It would be great for advertising for yourself. There are 2 tests, core hardware and software(os). It's the first certification in a line of them for this field. I wish you luck.
Slashdot Mirror
Vista's Security Rendered Completely Useless leading more machines (with Vista) open to drive by downloads, etc, becoming zombies?
Moar Spam! Bigger Botnet! Gogogo

Have more than 1 BSOD at one time.
Let's launch a massive counter-attack!
Instead of wireless, they could use satellite internet with solar panels for power! Yeah...yeah!
Patch Tuesday?

Finally someone else thinks that life needs a "Ctrl+f" function.

I should take my own advice...

Bidvertiser has been doing this for a while now, along with Google AdSence. This is news?
