None of your complaints are about Windows. They're all, almost universally, about OEM and third-party shovelware. You want to avoid OEMs trashing your computer? Don't pretend this is about a lack of choice, or about Microsoft bein

For the uninitiated this looks completely barbaric, but makes a whole lot of sense when you consider that PS is built around an object-based pipeline. 'Select-String' in PS doesn't actually return a string, but a 'MatchI

After a little consideration, I've decided I don't agree with your position, and that's not because I'm religious (I'm not) and it's not because I disagree with the separation of religion and work. (I do.) No,

If it can propagate from machine to machine it would be considered a worm. If it only infects files locally, it's a virus.

I can understand it looking like a derail. If this were a forum for the specific discussion of women's tech issues, I would never have brought it up, because it would be the wrong place. What I'm trying to do is not say is "h

Online harassment is not a small problem at all. It's a problem that definitely needs to be addressed, and women do see more of a specific type of harassment, which aligns nicely with what I said in my original post: "women clearl

There are six categories of harassment, all of which are online. In three of them, men are higher by a small margin. In two of them, women are ahead by a significant margin, and in one ahead by a small margin. So yes, by and large, women ar

Interestingly enough, on the same pastebin site that the leak first appeared, we now have someone programmatically changing the account passwords in the leak: http://pastebin.com/LsKrspK5 There's another set of account

Which journalists? Ars Technica posted an article with the qualifying word "apparently" in the title, weasel words like "appears" in the body, contacted Dropbox for comment, had obviously tested the password reset functi

It's not the ultimate platform. Arguably, it's not even a very good platform. What it is, however, is the best platform we currently have. The idea of using email for password exchanges is fraught with difficulty, and not only b

If by 'drone' you mean 'unmanned multirotor', it's actually quite an accurate topic. What's more, it provides more insight into why this is actually a big deal in modern society. A 'drone' is a cheap

Just because you are getting less out of the deal than they are does not mean you are getting less out of the deal than not having any deal at all. The deal "provide me a decent meal and I'll stay at work another hour or so"

DNS is not the issue with mail and MTAs. Setting up an MX record is something you can do after googling and reading for about ten minutes. I have only anecdotal evidence to prove this, but that's basically how I set up my own first mai

Understandably this is all purely anecdotal, but installing fglrx using smxi on Crunchbang 11 was actually a relatively painless experience. My gaming machine has always been in "Windows only" territory due to the fact that I tend

I imagine what they were thinking is "maybe people shouldn't be logging on to individual servers in order to manage them." I manage a number of 2012 VMs, and actually log onto them via RDP very rarely. You should use RSAT on

To be honest, the article isn't really all that wrong or sensationalist - It's a little bit simplified in some spots but for the most part is an accurate depiction of how simple it is to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on the un

That's still user-hostile. Don't get me wrong, as a Windows sysadmin I love Powershell and use it daily to accomplish various tasks. I have no problem with rolling my own scheduled powershell script to perform a backup, but if if
