Re: The fiends

i thought linux had webcams and browsers? my kids laptops have linux and webcams. not sure i get your w10 comment.....

not really. that stull doesnt clear how they trawled the data for a separate product that you have been signed up for.

Re: Little to do with automatic renewal

tsohost has done the same as i got an email too. i could opt out though before an october deadline (which i have done)

large screen phones can get various bluetooth keyboards built into covers or cases. it is annoying charging two devices but the concept does work.obviously this means android not pure Linux , but that also means it works and works now. ive seen covers for galaxy notes that have keyboards and extended batteries. notes have sd slots, lte, hdmi, usb3 and unlocked bootloaders for putting whatever you want.

the market is there but im not sure about mainstream adoption. it is very rare that i dont have a case or bag with me if i need a device with qwertt size real keyboard and OS. I just use my dell 10" venue pro with keyboard.

speaking of which you can get smaller venue pros with hard keyboard cases too.

good for you. one size doesnt fit all. i on the otherhand watch netflix on my way to work (hour on the train) and three fits perfectly for me as they dont charge extra for netflix traffic. 3G is fine most of the time as only SD is free.

choices are better for everyone so the auction cap seems like a decent idea in principle.

Or she didn't like the look of his torpedo so he made her walk the plank instead.

Re: You can't change your story like that

Well that much is obvious. Even for a lawyer it is quite difficult to show that your client was confused:

"Dropped her off in port?" "No sorry I meant dropped her overboard at sea after she died".

I imagine the police said, "we found a body and it is being identified, cough now and you get a lesser sentence, cough later and we nail you for more" It is true they found a body and they didn't have to say they found a dismembered body.

Re: Microsoft lying about surface?

Well the world health organisation probably get decent bulk MS licence deals so it isnt a surprise they run IE

Re: Assuming it was armed...

GPMG would be used I assume. They would be quite effective and use tracer to enable leading.

Re: "less appetising parts"

Awesome. Im sure its contains the same meat products as biltong, midnight mouth organ kebabs, haggis, black pudding and 'cheap sausages'.

All good.

Re: sorry, but is this so unreasonable?

Then dont buy products that have poor protocols baked in them. Or put said products on a vlan with locked down firewalled access if you must use leaky compromised kit.

Wannacry for example?

Re: the problem is Microshaft's design

The default state for ports on my server2012r2 is closed. I need a domain firewall policy to allow services. I cant say for standalone servers but i imagine uou need to enable in the firewall.

Re: But...

However in this case smbv1 was succeeded by smbv2 which was refined into smbv3.

You dont use PPTP even though it is easy to setup and works, because it is insecure and has been superceeded. Same can be said for smbv1.

Re: Enough said

I thought a recent MS security patch pretty much disabled smbv1 everywhere? I seem to rememeber reading about it after wannacry surfaced.

Smbv1 is quite old and outdated. Even my linux boxes arent using smbv1.

Even basic routers would block internet smbv1 access so you have to be pretty daft to start opening the ports up (or just pppoeing your server to the Internet )

Re: Pre-registration?

Does america acutally recognise the IRA as a terrorist organisation though?

Re: Actually the TSA found about 60 handguns on planes last year.

Did they find the gun then wave the person through?

Re: Nothing to see here...

I was really surprised that I didnt have to put my tablet in a separate tray when i flew from manchester to spain earlier this month. I did last year.

Re: System Image Backup (SIB)

SIB is very simple and has gotten my parents out of a pickle. External drive and SIB is so easy to setup.

Re: What are they thinking?

Snipping tool sounds great. How do you blockout the email address the middle of the selection and put a red circle to highlight a further portion of the selection?

Re: Paint.net

But you rely on paint.net being installed. I agree that for YOUR machine it is great. But when you go to doris in accounts you can screenshot, paste into paint, red circle the button she needs to click, save on desktop. Done!

Re: The end

Paint is great for putting red circles around whatever you need to highlight though, not just cropping. It was guaranteed to be on all machines too.

Sure paint.net is a good tool but when you are uaing machines that are locked down and cant install 3rd party software then paint will do.

Stupid MS

Re: Maybe Its The Coverage...

About once a month i get a 'we are improving coverage in your area!' Then another with 'we have finished!'

Never noticed any difference, still naff in same areas and good in other same areas.

But in our bit of Cumbria vodaphone still has the best coverage so im stuck with them. Their call centre is a joke and if you have any sort of billing issues then good luck as noone seems to have the authority of refunding and rectifying the issue.
