I don’t think you should bury the article just because the applet is a Fedora project. Ubuntu uses some tools and apps (system-config-printer, networkmanager,sysvinit-utils etc) that are originally from Fedora/RedHat (and they obviously use a lot of stuff from Debian), but opensource is about sharing, so its a good thing that other distros are […]
I’ve probably removed this from a dozen systems… it’s a total bitch. Sometimes you can get rid of it by using malwarbytes and superantispyware, sometimes you have to post HJT logs to forums and have them analyzed.
This stuff is everywhere.. I even got it on my system. I was using IE for researching an issue […]
Why is Tonydelkisgood being dugg down? Because he stated that OneCare resolved an issue that other apps could not (for him that is)? I’m a Mac/Win/Linux user for various different reasons and I don’t understand this fanboy mentality. So you don’t like Windows and love Linux… good for you. You hate Mac and LOVE Windows… […]
The two main purposes seem to be preventing new users from executing malicious commands (most likely from some forum) and people making typing errors.
With regards to the first, if someone wants to be evil, there are many other ways to do it. It seems like an abstinence vs. safe sex scenario to me. Better […]
@Hyde244:
"A lot of Linux extensions are based off of innovations of Apple’s OS X (same with Windows OS). Does that mean some of Linux’s development depends on Apple?"
I don’t know what "extensions" you are talking about, but _nothing_ in Linux is built off Apple’s software. However, Apple uses loads of code from Linux related projects, […]
For my clients, several of which are in "mission critical" situations, I never trust anything but a complete format and reload, and several scans of the backed up data with 3 different programs.
Just because a program says it’s clear and no visual signs remain, NEVER trust a system is clean. Don’t forget that the MOST […]
That’s cause the government doesn’t make it purchases based on billboard slogans. Windows is great if you want to do those things people say they do with computers, email, surfing the tubes, printing photos of grandchildren, and other great stuff. But some people actually see their computer as a tool, not a portal to a […]
It is no secret Linux is used for specialized systems. Every major OS is.
Apple’s OS X is used for all Hollywood movies, music albums, fortune 500 companies, and the CERN smash labs.
Microsoft OS is used to run all today’s roller coasters, majority of today’s corporations, and the same medical devices you mentioned.
Whoopee.
What I am […]
Amazing how you can express your extreme ignorance on two totally unrelated subjects in just one statement.
Hmm.. centralized development and production; one choice for everybody whether or not it works; standards that can’t be challenged let alone improved upon; everyone has to pay for it whether or not they use it; even though everyone has […]
I got a laptop from my mom-in-law’s coworker’s daughter with it. I’m out of the spyware loop - so it was new to me. I beat that thing up with AdAware, Spybot, Avast, CCCleaner and it just kept outsmarting me. This happened because each time the popup "you have spyware, install this" […]
