Did some searching, looks like it tries to set up a botnet. One of the things this does is install nmap; the machine doesn't have nmap on it, makes me feel better.

I grew up in Roanoke county, neighboring Bedford. We had books that mentioned this treasure, and I've always harbored a dream of deciphering the text then casually buying the property where the treasure is. If it's not a hoax mayb

As someone who was programming at this time, and before, I agree with all these and the child comments. Java being OO but a "simpler C++" plus having garbage collection generated a lot of interest, even in places that were all Win

Ahhhh, list.com! Used to use that all the time! When it became list.exe I thought "well there goes the neighborhood."

There's been a lot of hand-wringing about the license, but if the TrueCrypt devs want to be anonymous and/or go away, who's going to complain if someone puts out another version?

I've been warning everyone I can about this. Matter of fact my stylist has an second computer with XP in a bad upgrade loop so it doesn't boot. Wired ethernet, just used for browsing. I'll be putting LXLE on it, should handle

I remember reading about MSX in Creative Computing magazine, there's also 4 pages devoted to it in the book Digital Retro. In addition to the reasons listed here I'd say that what killed MSX is what killed everything else back the

What's been a dealbreaker for me is Fedora's behavior as a VM client, both with VirtualBox and VMWare. Sound never works, screen resolution can't be resized, and video just goes away sometimes. It really helps that Ubuntu has

In my progression of Haskell-OCaml-Common Lisp-Clojure-Scala, I remember OCaml having odd edge cases, modules of functors or some such that didn't really help me in solving real world problems (this was 2007-2008 so my memory could be
