1 is the reason I'll never use Win10. I don't trust Linux, even in a VM. Too many people have access and I am forced to assume it's insecure by default. My assumption will never change. 2 is inconsequential. I can use a &qu

Too many people without security clearance can access and modify Linux. In any real security environment, open-source is poison. Period, end of story.

Because copyright is a broken system that needs to be dissolved.

No, I don't allow that idea. If anything, I'm helping the creator by getting one more set of eyes and potentially word-of-mouth advertising out there that wouldn't have happened otherwise. If creators believed their product a

Except that to those of us who cut our teeth on DOS & Windows, and grew to the point that going away from the GUI was either the mark of doing something the hard way or because of a specific failure, *nix presents a vastly different wor

That could also be because of the bias toward open-mindedness amongst liberals. Conservativism is defeated most effectively by the opening of the mind to new ideas, new thoughts, and differing opinions.

I can show you several form-fillable PDF files which FF does not merely break, but absolutely destroys. Then again, I'm not interested in my Web browser invading my offline activity.

I can find only one appropriate word: Fascinating.

That's funny. I guess there's a reason why I'm being forced into using old browsers rather than supporting any of the rabid anti-Flash nonsense. Then again, I'm anti HTML5 & WebDRM (now under the more innocuous title

Is it still paranoia when they really are following you?

I provide an alternative hypothesis - most people are basically lazy. I don't mean that in a very negative sense, but that our brains are wired to take the path of lesser resistance whenever possible. I forget where I read this first,

"Do you pay for DVDs? Pay to see movies? What about the artwork on your clothing, or the design of your car?" 1. No. 2. No. 3. What "artwork" on my clothing? Everything I have is for work, white or blue collared shirts.

As someone with experience around a recruiter - never put your real phone number or email out on the web. It will be found. Whether it's industrious sales-hungry recruiters or the sourcing agencies full of geeks on Google and Exalead..

Nope. I'm greatly discomfited that my computer browses a UNIX/Linux backed internet - I'd rather stick to those sites backed by Windows.

Funny, I'm still on Windows 7 - I know which "updates" are related to the Win10 upgrade thanks to the well-written Microsoft kdb articles (not sarcasm), and I disable them. No problem here.

It's basically their way to control the content that gets posted to the platform; I'd be surprised if a lot of subreddits don't get shut down if they switch to using it rather than imgur or reddpics.

Does something like this exist for Firefox/SeaMonkey/PaleMoon?

And this kind of crap is why I use Windows.

I'm totally in support of this policy. Controlling companies and making sure they understand clearly that they exist only at the pleasure and the whim of the government is the only way to bring our world back from the corporatist brink

Can we update that to the web of '07? I had several sites I love open around then.

He listened to a public stream, there's no indication that they were attempting to secure it in any way. So, legal. Now, if he had done as others have suggested and injected "malicious" packets into the stream, then we'd

Maybe. But what interests me most is that NES header data.

by Endy 10y ago
I bet the payload is in that NES cartridge. Check the data against the NES cart header list, or just try loading it in NESticle. That's what I would have started with, rather than focusing on the meaningless LAME MP3 data.

I'd call Meetup a different case; as someone who actively uses the service, both as Organizer & Member... I need to know if someone knew signed up to my Meetup so I can send the a message and engage them. Or if a new group started
