I am an ABP user whitelisting some sites that is not intrusive. The bad thing about Ad Block Plus is that it may lead to fully pay-per-view internet. What I would want is interactive DB of sites which are reported as having intrusive advertising. If a site is reported as intrusive then visiting it for first time would show some kind of warning that ads are blocked. If the site is not in DB similar message could be shown to report it as safe or intrusive. Maybe even some sort of "certification" so site owners themselves can apply for it. Off topic rant: Opera Developer 24.0... you disappoint me gain, CMD-Shift-Left activates tab on the left... how I am supposed to select text. Oh mine, same for CMD-Alt-Left/Right

This thread is so funny. Reminded me about dood o'l This thing for me is the same as those gold/diamond or whatever luxury editions of phones. Just a shiny bling-bling to show off.

But isn't it so with any intel. It must be checked. Look at the Snowden - he doesn't leak anything directly but gives hints and it's enough to direct people which way to dig. I think this is why something like NSA or any other organization like that gathers so much info. They search for triggers and then inspect closer. One hint might be enough to put peaces together.

Oh, now I got what you mean. But claiming that it's fraud to one that stole it does not make much sense - they know were they got it. Even if it's not real then staying silent would give more advantage.

With ink tapes? Some one gets one of those an can get all of whats written with that typewriter with that tape

Digital signature vs signature... Paper is so easy to counterfeit. Of course you can do signature examinations or what ever but checking digital signature is super fast. Encrypting documents with RSA id type tokens which are usable only on special PCs in special LAN. Basically two factor auth for documents. This way it should be possible to easy track who opened which document. In the end paper is readable by everyone, if you get direct access to it. It take so much space, when you carry it you basically are it's security. IMHO using typewriters in long term would not resolve the problem. As a temporary solution in cases like this Germany-NSA thing is seems quite logical.

Would be interesting to play Civ 3 after lots of hours in Civ IV and V

Epic fail.

after reinstalling my server setup incremental backups but forgot to add full backups for my private website. The last full backup was year old. Good that DB backed up in every incremental. was reinstalling Windows on PC with two HDD - one for OS and one for data. Guess which one I formatted. Recovered all data because realized that in the next screen after choosing on which drive to install Windows. Moved everything back and my Ubuntu is still running after this: cd /home/me/downloads/musicmv /* /home/me/Music dropped external HDD from coffee table with backups/photos/music... Clicking sound and that's it. The HDD was sitting in my shelf for 2 years and one day I decided to try the "freezer" way which of course didn't work. Was reading a lot about recovering hdd and was going to open up the HDD and move the heads manually as those most likely are stuck but before that I tried turning it upside down, turned on and hit with my fist... and it worked got most of the data some was corrupt most like because the platter are scratched pretty badly. After that tried formatting just for fun and that didn't finish in 24 hours and that 500 gig drive so laying in shelf for another year as I want to open it up one day to look at damage installing XP when drunk, next morning of course it wasn't installed but I still remember it was running that night... needed to send out newsletter or something like that to like 1000 people. Made a nice ruby rake task to collect the emails from DB, created nice email template, made that emails are sent in batches of 500 so the email server doesn't reject sending out them. Was very proud of this. But as it turned out had added emails to CC and not the BCC. Bricked my DIR-300 when installing DD-WRT because unplugged cable in the middle of flash. Went to shop and said it doesn't work and I don't know anything about computers. Got another which I successfully flashed to DD-WRT. The problem I couldn't get to install it first time was that copy/pasting from guide in internet messed up 'x' in hex address '0xXXXXX'. And someone had it mentioned in one of the first comments There might be more. But hey its IT you learn from f!@£ing things up.

Is this a fresh install? From my experience trying to fix Windows issues is waste of time in most cases. If I can't fix something in 1 hour I just reinstall. Of course getting every thing installed/configured back takes time. Gotta say with Win7/Win8.1 haven't done that.

It seems he'll be fine so content will be rolling out after that as usual.

TotalBiscuit for gaming reviews or how he calls them - first impressions. I'm fan of TB and Huskies startcraft commenting if you like something like that. I think I even watch more startcraft 2 than play

I would say it will run. But calling it playable might be hard.

Mine is late 2011 i7/ssd. It's may daily driver for 2 years now. Overall the build quality is great but the power adapter cord tear is quite bad. At work we just replace like 5 adapters just because the rubber for cable at connector end was just falling apart. And this is for not older ones than 2 years. Yep, those retinas got replaced. Those were one of the first models with retina and some where with LG displays others with Samsung and the LG one had problems but I could be wrong here. Haven't heard of this problem for newer macs.

I would try connecting directly dlink with cable and see if the internet works that way. If not try calling your ISP. Maybe the modems mac needs to be registered or something along those lines.

I have problems with mac and they crash. We had some laptops with burned pixels for retina displays. The power adapter cords are totally WTF. My macbook keyboard has cmd key which is not black anymore. We have one macbook which connected to external display randomly turns of both display and only way to get them back is hold shutdown key to turn it off and start again. P.S. builder and another thread about macs...

ISP problem? If you have previous modem try with that. Check what you get from ISPs DHCP.

I kinda would like to watch it live because of live interaction (which lately is not very big except some polls) but not on friday. It has become my saturday breakfast show so I'm fine watching on youtube. I't sometimes confusing when it's not there but then it can be found on twitch.

Yeah, same here. This is happening for a week now or maybe even two.

It looks like that. NTFS default cluster size is 4KB so file system will send it in chunk of this size so everything should work without performance hits. Toms Hardware have thread on this here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/262415-32-sectors-win7. I wonder what would happen when cluster size is set to 512 bytes. It seems in that case you would loos half the disk space.

The native 4K is only supported by Win8, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2510009 and only 512E is Win7, but that's just quick googling.

IT related job or do some open source stuff, freelance or anything else to show you have some practical skills when appyling for real job. At least in our company your CV just with education doesn't mean a lot. Even university degree without some practical skills is useless. There's few interviews and in the end practical tasks with some help from senior developer. When I applied I showed web app that pulled data from one online game API and formatted for us in Wiki. The task I was given was write a class for handling discount for job cart. Another was converting arabic numbers to roman. So my advise is to just get dirty and create something.

I was referring more to general hate of MS just because it's M$. And I'm all for using best tool for the job too. Tsss, don't expose my trolling efforts. Anyway saying that one OS is so much better than other when it comes to Windows/OS X/big linux distros is just starting flame war and attacking any of them in community where most users are on specific one will cause it right away. The authentication part is the easiest I guess but MS ecosystem (AD, WSUS, Exchange etc.) as an integrated solution I think is better as open source can offer. Just found that there is even something like Centrify that can add *nix managment support to this. The downside of course is $$$.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic - first paragraph You can't safely remove Safari, iTunes and others as they are basically part of OS. They are installed back with next update. It doesn't make OS X not being locked down OS. Finder, Docker, Spotlight, Notification Center etc. makes it locked OS. Not completely but locked. Yup, 15 years and still quite unusable file browser at least for power users. File preview with space is nice feature though. So you are just ranting about Metro UI. What I meant is Windows must be as efficient as OS X - emacs bash http://win-bash.sourceforge.net And what I meant with this - being more efficient just because OS X is utter BS You are aware that MS Office and LibreOffice are software suits... With LibreOffice I can do shell document conversions and thats what I'm using it for. As for iWorks - I don't see any benefit for switching to it. You are as subjective as any other person in this tread or oven more subjective as you basically started a trolling thread. There is no such thing as Group Policy for *nix so there is no way of managing *nix boxes the same way as Windows.

You can hate MS as much as one like, but Windows is great OS. Same goes for OS X. It basically gets down to what is preferred and what job needs to be done. I'm on OS X 90% of time for about 2 years now. Was on OpenSuse for about year before that. Running home server on Ubuntu for 3 years. Deploying to web applications RHEL servers. Of course Android on phone. Currently I don't even own a PC with Windows. I guess a am a Windows guy. I was thinking of making my old Dell 6400 laptop into hackintosh as I think only wireless adapter needed replacement with supported one just to make fun of some guys with macs. The mac os strength and weakness in same time is limited supported hardware - less hardware more stable system. What Windows server domain provides is centralized way of managing lots of windows workstations. As far as I know there is no real replacement for Active Directory. Samba and some other projects are trying to get there but never seen it used in production. There's Chef for installation/configuration but I don't think you can do something similar to Group Policy on *nix.
