What Does DNSChanger Do to My Computer?
DNSChanger malware causes a computer to use rogue DNS servers in one of two ways. First, it changes the computer’s DNS server settings to replace the ISP’s good DNS servers with rogue DNS servers operated by the criminal. Second, it attempts to access devices on the victim’s small office/home office (SOHO) network that run a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server (eg. a router or home gateway). The malware attempts to access these devices using common default usernames and passwords and, if successful, changes the DNS servers these devices use from the ISP’s good DNS servers to rogue DNS servers operated by the criminals. This is a change that may impact all computers on the SOHO network, even if those computers are not infected with the malware.

It would be more like this:

You go into 7-11, pay for a frozen burrito, then proceed to the customer-use microwave to warm up your afternoon treat. While you wait for your snack to warm up: 2 FBI agents walk into the store, identify themselves to the manager, walk over to the microwave (with your burrito in it), unplug it, walk out the door with it, and drive away.

Now you're thinking, hey those 2 guys just stole a microwave and my burrito. In reality they had a warrant to seize the microwave and its contents, and properly identified themselves to the establishment housing the microwave.

Despite everyone's gripes about the MMO genre, Bethesda makes quality games, and I believe they will make a quality MMO.
Whenever I play a Bethesda game I never feel like im grinding, I'm always immersed in the story and the environment around me. I don't feel like I'm trying to rush to the end. I'm more interested in the story and the adventure that goes along with it.

MMO lately have been missing this immersion (for me at least). They may be full of story but it doesn't touch or interest me, and it seems like it was all thrown together haphazardly for quest filler. (Although SWTOR suffered from the opposite problem. The game was 100% story with lackluster gameplay that made me cringe.) Most of the time it feels like the quests were not designed around the story, but rather the story was designed around the quests (and just how much story can you pump into a "kill 10 bears" quest).

I for one am hopeful that Bethesda will breath new life into an over-saturated MMO market and I am looking forward to enjoying the genre once again.

Try DosBox. The game IS 16 years old after all. Even in XP it may have needed to be set for win95 compatibility.

In a marketing world where consumers want the product with "the most Gs" you don't describe graphics with performance metrics.

Just saying.

At least they make it easy to delete your Google+ profile and data.

You need a Google account (can be tied to any email address) to use the android store. You need an iTunes account (can be tied to any email address) to use the apple app store. I'm not sure where you perceive the difference.

Until VPN clients get built into torrent programs, and companies start creating vpn services marketed directly at torrent users.

If it were legal then it would legitimize businesses that build themselves around provided help or tools for people to jailbreak their devices.

Think of it as if modding an Xbox was legal. There would be tons of companies providing quality mod chips and services with healthy competition instead of having to go to someones shady friend who bought a shady mod chip from a shady website from China.

You open a page with an invalid certificate:
1) click "I understand the risks"
2) click "add exception"
3) click "confirm exception"

I'm not sure where you're extra 10 clicks are coming from.

Next you'll be telling me that I don't Google things on Bing?

Although I have not as much as glanced at GamePro in years, I have many fond memories of their magazine. They were the go-to source for game reviews, tips, and moves during the snes/sega era. I still remember sitting in class, reading over the moves lists for the original Mortal Kombat.

Many people seem confused by your use of HDLC to decribe a form of DRM over HDMI.

I think you meant HDCP

With Apple pushing their cloud services, making Hotmail an officially supported mail provider could be one step toward a one-click mobileme signup button. One click to copy all of your existing emails, contacts, notes and information to the apple cloud. It would of course also set up a forwarder in Hotmail to your new apple email address while making an auto-reply to anyone sending it to the Hotmail address with the message "I've updated my email, please send all future emails to ...."
