Out if interest, what "infections"? Do you have any examples.

Keep in mind malware = virus for most computer users.

I myself have cleaned two MacBooks of malware in the last six months. We don't use them here at work, but I had a neighbour bring over their two MacBooks because they had a "virus".

It turns out their children (adult children!) were going to free TV sites and the like and had their web browsers taken over (yes, including Safari. They had two browsers on these laptops, Chrome and Safari). Both machines were unable to connect to the internet. It also slowed the entire machine to a crawl, I had to wait almost 10 minutes for a terminal to open. This is not a virus per-se, as it only infected the local user accounts, and it fucked up both browsers so badly that browsing the internet was impossible, I couldn't even get it to load Google's search page. netstat showed that there were serveral processes running trying to talk to the internet. Now fixing these was not that difficult, as it only "infected" the local profiles.

However, they were the ones who brought it to me and said it was virus-infected. I guess they had a PC laptop before the MacBook, and only bought the MacBook because they were told it can't get viruses. Both told me when their MacBooks break down they won't pay the premium to get another Mac laptop.

Using something besides Safari comes to mind.

And no, the extra 'browsers' on iOS are skins, not actual full browsers... It's still using Safari underneath it all.

I was curious, so I looked this up - 2013 birth rate numbers for India are 20.22 per 1,000. This translates to about 47 births per minute, using the old numbers.

Population (est): 1,236,344,631
Birth rate: 20.22 per 1,000 of the population.

So 1,236,344,631 / 1000 * 20.22 [24,998,888 yearly] / 365 [68,490 daily] / 24 [2,853 hourly] / 60 = 47.56 every minute.

If my math is wrong, I'm sure someone will point it out, but 1000 since Monday is rather conservative.

Where I am, you are not covered unless you are explicitly insured for driving to and from work. In fact, there's two tiers: if you have to drive a long distance to work you pay more. And this is only commuting to work - if you use your car as a part of your work the insurance is even higher.

You forgot to read the fine print. Text only email, no HTML, or it counts against your 25MB limit!

It sounds to me like Microsoft doesn't even have a clue what they're doing with Windows.

Too bad that's not the parameter list wget accepts. I can see that causing confusion.

Does the tailing car have a massive magnet on the front? If so, then maybe.

The future of music sure sucks, doesn't it?

Internet down = no music
Music streaming site down = no music
Music library site down/out of business = no music

I downgraded (upgraded?) a month or so ago and now my Nexus 7 2012 is usable again. I tried resetting everything using lollipop and it was still utterly unusable.

I also monkeyed around with some certificates so that the updater stopped nagging me to install lollipop again. If anything google could make it easier to turn off the updates.

Oh, then that could be an interesting bug. Especially if you have a tattoo...

Then, ask them to do the exact same thing, except with an editor that has a different name (no, not just renamed, but something that looks at least slightly different, but uses the exact same mechanics for saving a file).

For kicks, the two separate programs should be Office 2003 and any Office version above 2007.

No, it's "u r an id10t".
