I wish I had a mod point for you sir. First good laugh I've had all day.

Not that I agree with the OP, but how the fuck do you call India a black nation? Please say you aren't that dumb. Please be trolling.

LOL AHAHAHA!

Really, I have to know what business do you work in that facebook is a necessity? I have friends in a prett wide range of industries and I've never even heard any of them mention anything of that sort. We do use it to create fb pages to promote small businesses we collaberated in but required for an employee?

I won't go into whether or not releasing gm organisms into the environment is a good idea, I'll leave that up to people better educated in genetics. I would have to ask the question though, if these mosquitos have a shortned life span wouldn't it reduce the chance that they would have an opportunity to breed? Might it not have been more effective to introduce a gene that caused all male offspring to slow and inhibit breeding?

No it doesn't mean anything like "old lady" it would in fact be like calling them whore. Which is essentially what squaw means.

While we are trading anecdotes...
I own a duplex and live on one side a friend and his family on the other. I do all the pc maintenance. There are 4 windows and 2 linux boxes in the house total. None of them has ever had an issue with a virus. Security software and informed users are key. Even the kids in our house know better than to install untrusted programs. Educate your users man best you can it helps.

A bottle of wine and a few lines of blow, and then she would become truly interesting to be with.

THIS, several time over.

But be careful you are advocating for personal responsibility there are some on slashdot who would think you elitist for spouting such things :)

honestly i haven't had any issues with malware on my android phone. I did install the Lookout app that has anti-virus but I installed it more for the data back up and ability to locate the phone via website if it is stolen. IMO Anti-malware software is generally a good idea on any web enabled device for the simple fact that if there is a security hole to exploit in a device someone will write an exploit for it eventually.

I'm probably going to be burning positive karma by saying this but here it goes. This is what comes with the walled garden. I have to think Apple is getting some sort of payoff from advertisers for access to this sort information. True "it just works" but is it worth it to you to allow this kind of access to your personal information?

and so what happens when something like the pdf exploit ruins their "just works" atmosphere. Problem is in many cases they are still fucked and now have to overpay to get a fix instead of having eduscated themselves on how to avoid the problem. It really doesn't matter how you frame it, it is intellectual laziness and i have no sympathy for those who fall victim to it. The security of those platforms are an illusion the sooner you realize that and get on with educating yourself the better.

It's not elitism to expect that someone could run proper security software. If you use M$ products they even provide a nice security suite for free. I honestly don't believe it's too much to ask of people to be involved in learning the basic maintenance of their possessions. I don't know alot about cars but I do know how to do an oil change. I don't work in construction but I have learned to do some of my own home repairs. What you are advocating for is company sponsored intellectual laziness. Sorry I can't support that.

Horrible place to use this but it applies in lesser circumstances as well as greater..... Those who would trade freedon for security deserve neither. Learn to secure your own damn box.

I'd mod you up if i had some points today, well said.
