If that's hacking then security must be putting your hands over your ears, shutting your eyes and going la la la la. Seriously the "security" measures were to remove the run box and the icon. That was it.

Sounds like your school sucked as did my university. For me I was accused of hacking for using a word macro to fire up internet explorer (the machines were locked down and IE disabled - you had to use a Sun with Netscape for web access).

This is expected. Here in the UK, the National Health Service is rapidly moving away from it. When I say rapidly, a friend of mine who is an HP reseller is deploying 750 workstations a week at the moment with Windows 7 on. The big chunk of

I have an SSD. Windows resume from hibernate in about 8 seconds. Complete cold start takes 12 seconds (less than OSX). That's windows 7. On windows 8.1 it's even faster.

They really don't. Suspend doesn't always wake up all devices, different kernel releases break hibernate completely. Also Ubuntu just disabled hibernate for a vast chunk of time. It's never worked properly. And don't get

Yeah which is why if you're doing serious shit with Windows you buy either: 1. Thinkpad T or W series 2. Dell Precision 3. HP Z-series. Nothing else is worth throwing any money at all unless it's for facebook or pr0n usage (consum

It's fine on a notebook too. More than one hypervisor per machine is not a good idea. You'll get the same problem with Intel HAXM and VMware as well. To be fair the problem with this is that the whole Intel virtualization architec

No installers and updaters popping up for me (other than the usual windows update one just like OSX/Ubuntu), tray has 6 icons in it (less than my Mac's bar at the top right), the install is 2 years old - no degradation, package ma

No. I run windows as a desktop. I wouldn't run any Unix derivative as a desktop - they've all been horrible to me (that includes OSX). Server-side though, it wins a lot of the time.

So its an art installation.. Unless someone has lived in one for months, it's purely magic unicorn poop.

I never dual boot. It's a PITA with UEFI or not and has been since the dawn of time. It's Linux -or- Windows. UEFI is not a problem though - people need to stop badmouthing something they really don't understand. I settled on

Hyper-V user here. It's fine - I run 12-15 VMs (4 of which are Linux) at a time (full production environment with virtual networking) on a 4 year old Dell T3500 Quad Xeon with 32Gb of RAM. Sounds like your hardware is broken/crap.

Actually I think our weather and ground is favorable as well as clay being abundant. I imagine wood is more abundant in the US seeing as we either protected or chopped down our forests.

Having done a lot of camping in my time, this was the first thing I thought as well. If you haven't got somewhere to poop and somewhere to get rid of it, life is miserable. Believe me, burying it isn't fun. Seems like one of those

Nice work - very tidy and professional-looking. Thanks for sharing.

Gotcha - makes sense. First thing I do though is install postfix from ports still!
347.
by bananas 13y ago
This is medium news. I'd rather use postfix. There's a ton of stuff missing from opensmtpd at the moment. Recently it had some serious crashing bugs when pipes were getting severed between the various privsep processes as well. It

Yes they are. I spend a lot of time in meetings with these people. Definitely not a straw man. The project plan was an embedded WMF so its not about Microsoft project.

by bananas 13y ago
Well the meetings I've been in, I'm constantly waiting for those people with quotes like: "oh it's not rendering properly - I can't see the project plan" "it's on page 450... the app closed on page

Because it's an awful productivity device? It has no usable filesystem, poor integration between applications, awful input device support, a tiny screen and is impractical for office work. Yes I do own one for reference.

Yes. Don't forget this is only the start of censorship. The progression is as follows: 1. Censorship is forbidden. 2. Censorship is a subset of all things. 3. All things is a subset of censorship. 4. Censorship is universal. At that po

Nope that's because you were in a country full of religious fundamentalist nut cases. Ones who are brainwashed, censored, dogmatised etc etc. QED.

I nearly got my arse blown off in 7/7/2005 and spent the best part of 4 hours stuck on a tube train behind one full of dead people. I don't support any censorship. If someone wants to publish this shit, let them. You're

Perhaps we should look more towards the Marxism thread yesterday for inspiration on how to resolve this utterly horrible issue. If you have to spend the last of your days worrying about money, society is broken.

Cut the cables. All of them. Leased, backbone, local loops. Poison the routing tables. Jam the wireless. Take out root DNS. I cringe slightly at quoting Firefly but it's similar in nature: "If your quarry goes to ground, leave no

The word shit is particularly poignant in that comment!

You're right - it wouldn't but at least it'd look like they gave a crap.

I disagree. I've worked for a few large European financial orgs over the years and MS will not disclose issues early to them despite begging and piles of money. We're talking 50k+ employees here. However DoD connected companies li
