Go Bama!Trump! Go Bama!Trump! Go Bama!Trump!
Have they got a version of 10 that runs natively on Mint?
I have not got a fucking clue but given Mint uses Ubuntu suppositories I am looking forward to the invite to Upgrade to Windows 10 appearing via Update Manager or getting slipped in via apt-get. NOT.
Go on... it's those back door boys from systemd.
Blah Blah Blah crap.. time for bed.
Whut? When I hit the mention of Gartner I leapt straight into the comments section to discover if the article had any content worth reading and the first comment mentions Gartner. Now I'm really lost. Do I switch off my ad-blockers and no-script and go surfing for cat pictures?
Here you go...
Let's go via Russia and Turkey... You know... Those countries that fuck over their people, their internet and their journalists.

So... I cannot watch 'The Traitor' John Oliver via my ISP in the UK, because 'the uploader has not made it available in my country', so I have to use a Turkish Proxy found via a Russian website in order to gain access.
It makes me fucking glad there are citizens still alive in regimes more oppressive than the UK/US who are kind enough to provide such a service. I may have got the gladness of that one wrong... go bomb some Kurds so I can get better Internet Connectivity.
That's that English Sounding Cunt who tells Americans How Stuff Works..

The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
Good Fucking Job Too. Do not need traitorous twats like John Oliver subverting passage of the Investigatory Powers Bill through the UK Parliament.
Pssst, anyone managed to blag a copy?
Obviously it's just for the giggles so I can read when he tries to get back into the UK and Ms May gets someone else to shove a huge rubber glove up his arse and inflate it with an air hose whilst someone else kicks his computers about the place for a couple of hours in 'immigration control'.
Fuck me... Watching John Oliver is harder than pledging allegiance to ISIS.. I'll get back to me home made bombs.
For our purposes, these are considered to measure 50 metres long by 25 metres wide and with a depth of 2 metres, containing 2,500 cubic metres of water or, in this case, liquid hydrogen and LOX.

does not quite fit the bill but the question becomes...
Would it be possible, with care, to fill any swimming pool with the required ultimately combustible and stoichiometric mix of Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen but, on the assumption that the liquids might be immiscible and can be maintained as liquids despite the temperature differential float one layer on top of the other, add a straw along with a cherry, slice of lemon and a couple of olive's and then, assuming a cool blue colour, upload a picture of Lester sitting by the pool with a big smile on his face in his y-fronts speedos with a "12.5 Bulgarian Airbags Equivalent" tattoo on his 'gut'?
I guess they haven't figured out yet that it will be an uphill battle.

Now, [un]like an idiot Sophist Politician, I can barely come to terms with what that might all be about other than, in my case, accepting that it makes sense to people a damn sight cleverer than myself who have reached the Non-Sophist conclusion that if you try and build a broken one it will be broken.
Unfortunately in the Political World ten times out of ten Sophistry trumps over Logic/Science so we will just forget that in the Real World Logic/Science grinds Sophistry to dust eleven times out of ten so it is OK to cripple your own capabilities because no-one reads Wikipedia.
Cheers. Have One -->
I have no fucking idea where you live.... as if it should matter because this is a world wide problem, but Obama comes across as being a bit of a facile knob end and it would seem America gets to vote which facile knob end gets to do the same old fuck all beyond shit getting worse for the next four years.
I ate Taco Bell. Let me slip my penis up Austin Texas. Apple Pie... On these things, and Great Americans 'Woot Woot Woot', Obama is certain and then..... mumble mumble mumble.
Mumble... Big Data..
Mumble... Medical Records for research..
Mumble... Voting and why they are voting so we can get them to vote the right way..
Mumble... Making sure Activists are monitored.
So.. The reason I am here is to Big Up Texas "Go Texas, Go Texas, Go Texas Taco Bell. I'll have fries with that. Woot Woot Woot.. but, like hey, we fuck up on a regular basis and the only way we can fix this is to get you little people called 'citizens' involved"
.. So I set up a web site to collect your big health data and this was a bit embarrassing for me because I know fuck all about apt-get install apache and that html shit, although my kids know how to do Banners in GeoCities, so I spunked loads of money on some consultants so they could fuck it over... and they did.
I remember my childhood listening to the Rooskies talking about Left Boot production on that radio thang. Anyway.. having personally fucked it up, with assistance, I asked my mates who had fucked it up in the first place how to unfuck it and, Bruce Willis was not interested, so we came up with, and pissed an extra shitload of money on, a SWAT team.
That's SWAT!!! not SWOT. Fuck analysis we go in with Mini-Guns Blazing. Go America Go America Go America. 'Woot Woot Woot'.
Any way.. so we asked Google and FaceBook to sort things out for our Viet Nam veterans and the rest of the good old boys who got fucked over by us waging war against that Left Boot Producing idiot Putin all over the planet.
So these dudes are really kind of cool and I am up to speed with the foo-bar thing but they need to be institutionalised. Err,, that is to say I do not have a fucking clue and that Zuckerfuck needs to ask himself whether the loaded shotgun I am pointing at his fucking face is loaded...
Uhm cough.
So what we need is people who know shit to stop trying to tell people who don't know shit how shit works and just make it fucking work the way I want it to work. So you are invited to become engaged to do it or I'll throw my toys out of the pram. O maybe not.
America Today asks its Geeks to set up shit so no-one else can use it without America having full access to their shit and stop the nutty side of Islam developing counter measures. It's not enough to take out ISIL with Tomohawk missiles.
We need to develop Genetic Warheads based on our Big Medical Data to stop the fuckers from having children capable of thinking beyond being capable of flipping burgers... and we need that for our children as well.
We need the industry to use their ad-spaffing technology to kill off any kind of thought and also help you idiots make the right choice in respect of who you are going to vote for using their Big Data Thang. It seriously fucks me off that you do not turn out to vote because last time I checked I am Dudellicious so what the fuck is your fucking problem?
Do my ears poke out too much or what?
Look.. You Austin Texas Folks here are incredibly talented. 'Woot Woot Woot'... ahhh come on give me a 'Woot Woot Woot'....
.. but the problem is your Texan Leaders have fucked up big time because you are fucking Texans. Everything around here is supposedly just so fucking big, and rightly so, that you do not pay attention to idiots outside of your locality.
As we all know there are 52 states..
Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas Austin Texas
and the rest of the World, including Kansas is just some Islamofascist Fantasy.
So What we need is for you Fat Texan Bois to take your heads out of your fat fucking arses and sign up to FaceBook so you can have the right to vote.
"Go Bama Go Bama Go Bama" 'Woot Woot Woot'.
Yo!! Look, you Dumb Texan Fucks check the weather on your phone. We've got satellites that do that sort of shit and Verizon that checks where you are so as we can direct you to the nearest umbrella shop... Then we get celebrities to predict the weather and fuck that one up as well. Fuck me, we also use economists to predict the fucking economy... Or you can look outside the window.
So.. anyway. What I am saying here is we need an ISIL free economy where the Muslims get to flip burgers but we keep them out of the country so Taco Bell and my mates in the Ad-Spaffing industry sort stuff out with The Big Data Thang so you idiots know how to vote and your children can become top skill in burger flipping.
And you know what. That Economy Thang. Truth of the matter is it's all been changed. Hey.. like sorry about the fuck ups in respect of loss of your personal data to ISIL and the bankers fucking over the economy but it is all Kool coz we printed more money, told them not to do it again and I am going to introduce a new free 'identity fraud protection' web site... but this time it will work properly using your FaceBook login.
Oh.. and it was all our own fault for not giving our authorities enough money to take on the lawyers as paid for by the other side to enforce the law. I guess we just fucked up because we are all clueless MBA majors, did not write the law stuff down properly and some of us need the odd $XXXXXXXXX from the lobbyists so we can garner your votes.
..... Gives Up.
What fucking ever,
I guess part of getting older is Plod looks Younger and Politicians become Pig Fucking Ignorant Shits
In the past my Cat often tried to install itself on the keyboard.

I used to have to be quick on the,
CTRL|ALT|L
.. but we seem to have reached some mutual thing or another whereby he he walks over it and settles down for a kip between the keyboard and the monitor.
Presumably if I was running Windows the Cat would still be trying to install itself on the keyboard.
Bless. You should buy your cat a toy mouse to play with and leave that on the table as well.... to be promptly ignored as Fluffykins uses subconscious Cat Powers honed over aeons of evolution in order to identify the most expensive thing to break play with...
Are enjoying this on our 'private' forums. Just for effect we will wait and plan for six months after you have had this legislation in place and then blow up multiple meat-bags all over the UK... then you get to decide just how effective your legislation was. Hey... thanks for the invite.

From Microsoft phone me up to fix stuff for me. Apparently my computer was reporting all sorts of stuff back to base and they were really sorry about that. Having gone through Windows R we had to use SupremoControl, which I was informed was Microsofts free version of something that sorts stuff out. Then some kind bloke called LogMeIn paid a visit and installed Chrome for me so I suppose Microsoft and Google must be mates. Anyway, long story short, once everything was fixed I filled out my details on a Microsoft provided form and was told the £49 fix it fee would be waived and I would be credited with £690 for all the stress they had caused me. They sorted that one out through Microsoft's preferred banking service, Western Union, and were even kind enough to set up the account for me so they could transfer the money. I am presently talking to my bank about how they should be using Western Union because my banks rubbish software appears to have taken £800 out of my account rather than crediting it and my computer does not really work properly any more ever since I visited their online banking service. Anyway, at least my computer is not reporting much if anything back to Microsoft because my mates from India have not phoned back to say so so everything must be cool... RESULT!!1!!
That would be Google.
Apparently they layered a load of Java on top of a Linux Kernel and ended up with something insecure. Rumour has it that Oracle is suing them because that should have been their job. Otherwise, as any fule kno, SCO invented Unix from what Java and Linux is derived and are rather miffed that they ran out of money before they could bugger it up as was their right. I did not ask Clive Sinclair for comment because he would not have been available.
Thanks for referring me back to the previous article. It would seem 'addressed' means someone moaned about it. Glad to be corrected.
Hard disks with even more then 40 Megabyte of space are available.
Thanks for the 'hard' figure. According to you 20 Megabytes of Linux on a Hard Disk is given over to symlinks. Does that include the space used on the hard disk that says where they are?
Perhaps you can provide some grep thing that says where they all live so next time something does not work I can add another one in the appropriate directory, usr/bin, pointing to the other one in a different directory, /etc/usr/var/bin that will redirect it to the other one in /foo/bar/etc/usr/share/bin and so on.
Thanks Again.
I already use different complex passwords for each of all my accounts wherever they are. So I only need to change the Linux Mint Forums one...
No big deal then...? Unless the Mint Folk open up the forums again and allow someone to use your old account details to post Goatse pictures.... which would be a serious Duh-Oh moment.
Not that I am on-side or anything but perhaps they need a little bit of time to make sure things are 'clean' before you get back in. No doubt they are taking advice from TalkTalk.

Oh no — pwned!
Pwned on 3 breached sites.
OK.... assuming your username is unique, who are the other two?
Sure... Let me garner some down votes.
That's just indicative of the complete cluster fuck that the Linux/Unix directory structure is, why naming conventions are not and 50% of my hard disk space under Linux is occupied by symlinks. Obviously I know fuck all but that's the way it appears to me. I can't install mdm from Debian on my Mint because Mint called their gdm mdm. Fuck off and rename your Debian mdm and write a symlink to it. It can't be that hard, can it? For balance Shades of 1980's commondlg.dll under Windows and it really gets my goat that my Atari does not work when I try to hammer a Radio Shack kernel up its arse. Meh.

I think in bosnia they use . to separate third-powers, and , for the decimal point
As a result the actual figure might be $85,000
Ho-Hum.. Shit, that should not happen.. happens.
Fair enough they suggest that their 'suppositories' are 'safe' but that is where 'The Gold' would be.
Wise, after the event, change passwords and don't use the same one all over the place advice but you have to hope that that they have adhered to that one themselves.
Of course I realise, hope, that given their background they probably do but falling foul of a Wordpress Hack, unless it was 'zero day', raises some concerns... Not that I can play 'Holier Than', unintentional pun. just spotted it after I typed it.
I would not wish to FUD but I do hope that they have sanitised their own access to the 'suppositories' and made quadruple sure that nothing untoward has gone on.
..... Still waiting for the Password Reset E-Mail?
I should resist the temptation to say I'm not overly bothered if those details got 'stolen'. I may be stupid but using Linux of itself has made me more aware about security and, in part according to my limitations, given me the tools to implement it for myself.
Oh.... and just in case it is still all shit layered on top of shit.
What happened to the "Linux is malware-free" claim?
There is a suggestion in the comments section on the site that the redirect to the Bogus ISO was the result of an attack on a vulnerable Wordpress install.
I’ll ask this question, without knowing the intrinsic details, or any specific details other than what has been posted above; did the breach have anything to do with the fact that you’re running WordPress?
Best wishes and thanks for the heads up.
-k0nsl
Edit by Clem: Yes, the breach was made via wordpress. From there they got a www-data shell.
Here is a little C++ program for your amusement (needs -std=c++11):
int main() { <:]()<%[](){[:>()<%}();}();}(); }
Hope that is clear enough.
Presumably very succinct..
do I do,
sudo apt-get install -std=c++11 #?
or should I just ignore your invitation to install another layer of shit to deal with the shit you wish to layer upon it?
How do you know?
Because, occasionally, I have to write a 'Hello World' program in your latest flavour of shit and it falls over at the first attempt to run it because your shit was layered on someone else's shit so you had a shit clue as to what was meant to happen because all the other layers of shit were layered upon everyone else's layer of shit and they did not tell you how the shit was meant to work because they did not understand the shit below their shit and now you have layered your shit on top of the previous shit you have no idea what the fuck is meant to happen but Vinod will spunk all of your pension money on any little shit who appears to give some semblance of his shit based on the other shit supposedly working such that Vinod can make some cash and then every other shit writer gets to layer more shit upon the new shit developed by the new little shit. Fuck me not about 'peer review'.
Alles klar?
You just layer shit on top of others layers of shit and Vinod et al rewards those who manage to write shit on top of shit that gives the best short term return so when you come to rinse and repeat the next batch is layering their shit on top of the previous layer of shit and it is shit all the way down.
"Perhaps the VVOLs scheme is too complex? Possibly it is too limited in its focus.
To recap, a virtual machine (VM) can be thought of as VMDK files stored in a VMFS datastore which is a logical unit (LUN) in a storage array."
Presumably you are talking in an incomprehensible way about another layer of shit smeared on top of all the other incomprehensible layers of shit.
@ dikrek appears to be 'In Tune' with your blither so I guess 'That's FaceBook'.
First time I met a DataBase, back in Mumble Something and Four it was broken.... looks like 'we' have not made much progress since then.
Have your doctors told you about your sex-change operation and post-op treatment? I think they should.
Well, assuming... My GP, after some discussion, signed me up for the sex change so I turned up on the prescribed day and had my knob turned into a fanny. Unfortunately,

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jan/22/nhs-disregards-patients-requests-sharing-medical-records
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/11790711/Boots-Tesco-and-Superdrug-to-get-access-to-NHS-medical-records.html
I had requested that my medical records about my new cunt should not be shared and Mr Manning, not Bradley, suggests that the request has been ignored.
Still, I suppose if my Gold Orifice goes wrong you can still slide your Silver Badge up my Brown hole or perhaps someone from Tesco will contact myself directly to offer a better treatment outside of the NHS for the puss[y] problem... having being given access to my GP's 'hard one' without my permission,
Did I mention Rape?
and not telling my GP about the possibility of such treatment.
Of course, as before, no doubt that assumes my Insurance Policy checks out under a cross check such that Tesco and Asda can bid to fix stuff for me.
Oh, and don't worry your pretty little penis. I'm a Lesbian.
But I just, did not, get a spam e-mail from someone offering me my medication at lower than the pre-paid prescription price along with what looks like a good deal on Viagra. They also suggested that, based on snouting about in my medical records as held by my Doctor, that there were better treatments available for my bowel cancer than my Doctor was presenting to me because they had not told my Doctor about them and, given their additional research into my insurance policies, I would be able to have that and the prostrate thing sorted out almost immediately along with an even better deal on Viagra.
Let me put it another way in order to demonstrate that I do not have a clue.
You wank about getting your Plasma up to Ignition 'whatever' and cannot even control that shit in order to achieve it and then you expect to be able to control it when it 'blows up'.
Hah Hah
Hah Hah Hah
... Then you want to tag a Steam Generator on its back end?
ROFL^Google^FaceBook^LinkedIn
Uhm.. No they didn't.
Doing 'Fusion' involves Doing 'Fusion'.. not getting things arbitrarily 'hot' for some misplaced definition of 'hot'.
"On Friday the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that its boffins had created the 102-second plasma burn in its Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) at Hefei, capital city of east China's Anhui Province."
No they didn't fucking achieve a 'Plasma Burn' they just maintained some shit at what they thought was 50 Million Kelvin for 'a bit' and then Suddenly Nothing Fucking Happened.
@cbars
Cheers.
Unless I write one then I cannot point you to such a paper. I should also state that I am not suggesting that Lawson is discredited... just that its thinking is not deep enough inside the box because the big hammer guys are simultaneously working on the 'three dimensions' to that box, Energy, Density, Time, because they are fixated on Lawson rather than trying to isolate and specifically control any one particular 'variable' in order to leverage a possible advantage...Just building bigger piles of wood in the expectation that things are going to spontaneously combust and drive the steam engine hung off the back of it?
Of course if I were to write such a paper and I will state all I could do is 'postulate' because I do not have the required knowledge to fully argue my case... as in... Blah, Blah, Blah and by the way here is one that is working, unlike your pieces of big hammer shit so go suck on that one. I'd be pilloried, excommunicated and burned at the stake before the status quo got back to building bigger Big Physics hammers.
Still since you appear to be interested and prepared to lend an ear... Assuming I have not misunderstood The Lawson Criterion then which is the important part of Energy, Density, Time that does not nominally involve probability and is therefore utterly, completely and thoroughly wasted by the other two according to some huge combined power loss law as identified by Lawson, and others, in their search for a 'self sustaining' reaction?
http://clivebest.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/F3.large_.jpg
That will do nicely and thank you very much.
This is the state of dysfunctional fusion research based on The Lawson Criterion. Energy, Density, Time.
So. Since 1968 the numpties have been building bigger and bigger hammers in an effort to match some dream-line related to the combined three parts of that misplaced Criterion and every time it does not work they go and build a bigger hammer.
"Wow.. Like Awesome."
"Big Science Dude!"
"Does it Work?"
"Not Yet. We need a bigger one."
"Will it work when you have a bigger one?"
"Errr... maybe. We need more Data."
"Why didn't you build a bigger one in the first place?"
"Stop asking fucking questions! Man you are oppressing me!!"
As Oprah once said...
"It's not the Size of Your Knob. It's how you Row The Boat."
I've been railing against the present direction of nuclear fusion for the past 30 years and the idiots have repeatedly spent the last 'it will work in 50 years' getting it completely fucking wrong.
Now the Germans join in...

It does seem ever so slightly implausible that a 'single router' would be able to inflict such carnage across the entire network unless the entire network suddenly, for some reason, became dependent on that 'single router' perhaps by having all of its traffic sent through that 'single router'... Is a 'single router' now the acceptable technical term for a chuffing great big rack of DPI kit bought by GCHQ from Huawei and installed in the network?
From a purely technical (and theoretical) standpoint, the 'getting within a mile' bit.
Apparently Plod would have taken on the duty of identifying all dark skinned people with purple hair and beards within that radius after the event.
Even with a good rifle-and-scope-combo, I'd try to keep it well under 400 m.
A 'shitty rifle' with no scope at 500 yrds gives you a 4 ft group or better if you know it and pay attention to the flags and weather.
Why do you think I asked ISIS to provide the proper 'tool for the job' along with a cunning disguise?
Shit...
Next thing I know you will be suggesting I do not have a basic clue about what the fuck I am talking about.
I have been previously diagnosed with paranoid delusional ideation as a result of an effort to kill myself because I thought people were following me around the intertubes.
Whilst I know you are a bunch of cunts if you have a spare rifle of suitable quality and can get me within one mile of The Bitch I can aim bridge of nose and, worst case, put the bullet through her eye.
I can also reload and get a second one on the way which will hit before she has managed to respond to first impact.
Please also provide a pack of Grecian 2000 and some self tanning lotion that would suit Mr Cameron so Plod can predictively put things together and catch the 'right man'.
You may wish to plant a rumour that Cameron has being involved in the 'double backed beast' with May.. It's not as if Major was not 'inside' Currie previously.
Thanks for radicalising me..... Oh I see what you did there.
If we only live in two dimensions, how come I get fat when I drink too many pints? (Or fall down for that matter)
Hmm Two Thumbs Down.
"Copernicus was a Cunt."
"No, he's a Witch!"
"How do we prove it?
"Drown Him!!!!!!!"
"What if he floats?"
"Witch!!!!"
"Burn Him if He Floats!!!!!1"
"He'll be wet!?1"
"Copses are made of wood!"
"What!1?"
"Transliteration Mate. Copernicus = Copse."
"He is made of Wood. Witch!! Burn Him!!! Burn Him Now!!11"
Just to expand on 'standing up'... That's going to take you a bit of energy to move yourself away from the other items in your Two Dimensional world assuming there is an attraction between the bits involved.
If we only live in two dimensions, how come I get fat when I drink too many pints? (Or fall down for that matter)
That's just your 'perception'.
In your Two Dimensional world being 'fat', at certain locations of your body, can be constrained to a 'perception' of the X/Y dimensions of it as imposed by the nature of the Two Dimensional world you live in and the way you sense and interpret it.
As to 'Falling Over'...
Consider that 'Standing Up' minimises the X/Y locations as you sense and interpret them within that Two Dimensional world. You are still allowed to be 'fat'. Standing up just reduces your X/Y profile.
Rather than using 'Falling Over' consider going to bed. You expand yourself in one dimension and contract in the other having orientated yourself first but perceive that you are lying down. It's a gentle and controlled process and you are still allowed to be 'fat'.
My gut also looks better when I think I am lying down.
Of course if you choose to get wrecked and then 'fall over' the process is less likely to be gentle or controlled but you will not know much about it until the next morning whereby, if you did manage to do some damage to your Two Dimensional body as a result of the rate of imposed dimensional changes either exceeding its design limitations or hitting another Two Dimensional object as you changed your Two Dimensional shape you could experience a bit of pain along with the headache.
In as much as Terry Pratchett was almost right as well.
We do in fact live on a 'Disc World' which is circular with two flat sides and a zero length edge. It spins through space about its centre but follows a Two Dimensional trajectory as do all the other observable apparently spherical things floating about out there which are also circular with two flat sides and zero length edge.
In fact we live on a Two Dimensional World in a Two Dimensional Universe.
What we perceive as being three dimensional is in fact the result of space, time, dimensional and gravitational distortion that results from the nature of the matter our Two Dimensional existence is made from.
The Three Dimensions are in fact an 'illusion' which only exist because it appears to be the best explanation we can come up with which fits in with what we think we 'see' and 'experience'.
However what we 'see' and 'experience', and indeed can measure and interpret, is distorted by the nature of the thing we exist in interfering with that measurement and ultimately our interpretation of it as limited by our ability to perceive the possibility of a different conceptual reality.
We have become 'intellectually' comfortable with our apparent Three Dimensional existence even though it is Two Dimensional and yet we posit the possibility of Zero, Single, Two and Multidimensional existences.
However who is to say we are not living in a Zero, Two, Three or Multidimensional existence but limited by our 'experience' as imposed by its action upon us and our 'intellect' to perceive or understand and conclude that it 'must' be Three Dimensional?
