I can't really be expected to customize my Java settings when no one has said that is needed.
So I naturally left everything default.
If someone is producing a modpack with 100+ mods and not giving you instructions on how to make MC use more memory, then they are an asshat. Now go forth and google for how to make MC use more memory with your 64 bit Java.
No worries here. I always disable the WiFi on my routers. I prefer hardwired connections that don't give the router fits trying to perform encryption with their underpowered chips.
If you're worried about that, you can firewall off all non-IPSEC traffic... and still enjoy WiFi
You do realize that no one that was in on that decision is even still alive right?
You do realize that this is completely besides the point, right? The question was whether the US had anything to do with the problem in Iran, and the answer is yes, yes it did. Even if everyone involved in that decision is dead, we still have to live with the consequences today. I should not have to explain this to you.
pretty easy to get in the states from computer shops
Well, I didn't mean to imply that it was difficult, just that it's slightly less available. What's being pushed in people's faces is not Windows 7.
They're doing more than advertising it.
In Windows 8.1 they pushed out an update which put an icon in the task tray which said "upgrade to Windows 10, now or later?"
They're not pushing it as optional. They're installing stuff which is going to do it to you, and isn't giving you a way to decline. You end up needing to uninstall an update (KB 3035538).
I'm sure they'll do it again.
Microsoft seems to have decided they own the computers, and the networks they're attached to. Which is completely bullshit.
And, don't forget, once they have all those juicy passwords they can pass 'em off to law enforcement.
Microsoft have always been assholes, but this takes the cake.
Basically Windows Phone and Windows 10 are gaping security holes, and Outlook.com is now acting as malware.
No, someone needs to be shot.
This is the most idiotic thing I've heard of in a long time.
Microsoft has said "fuck security", and once again have decided to "innovate" something which stupidly becomes a gaping security/privacy hole.
What shithead thought of this?
These passwords aren't Microsoft's to share, and decreeing that anybody who hasn't changed their SSID to opt out has consented.
Fuck that.
How bout we charge Microsoft with hacking and enabling unauthorized access to computer networks?
Fucking idiots.
So Microsoft has taken it upon themselves to share the network credentials with anybody it sees fit?
Fuck you, Microsoft. How about you help us make networks more secure and not less?
Not only will I stick with my Windows 8.1 install, but no Windows 10 device will ever get my network credentials.
This has to be one of the stupidest things I've heard of. And, of course, since Microsoft will centrally store your passwords, law enforcement can subpoena them.
Microsoft are too fucking incompetent at security to be trusted with this. And then to have the nerve to suggest we have to change our network names to opt out of their shit?
Fuck you, Microsoft. Fuck you very much.
Historically racists have called black people apes and monkeys. Therefore this accidentally and somewhat embarrassingly mimics that behaviour.
Historically white people were not, to my knowledge, insulted and discriminated against by being compared to seals and dogs. It's a bit more embarrassing to have women labeled as dogs because they are sometimes called bitches as an insult.
It's really not hard to understand. Context and history attach additional meanings and sentiments to some words.
Ask Slashdot was useful once, but in the last few years it's just become an opportunity to abuse the questioner. Okay, sometimes the questions are really dumb, but how about we try to assume good faith and not expect them to write an essay covering every possible objection first? You know, kinda like Stack Exchange or something.
In fact, screw it, Slashdot is dying. I recommend asking the same question on Stack Exchange, you will get more helpful answers.
It sounds like the questioner's wife is doing business stuff at the moment, but Java is used in a lot of places. Mobile apps are the obvious one, but also for some embedded stuff.
The evidence does not even hint at the hypothesis.
What? Why not? Why else would you be seeing a surge in Windows 7 licenses now, when they are harder to get than ever before?
And there lies the error in your assumptions. You assume that because you have seen X that most are X. That is not statistically or scientifically valid. In fact, it is irrational.
You are also wrong about your statement about connecting to the electric company. This further demonstrates your lack of knowledge. You're talking through your hat. We are utility connected.
*facepalm*
So I'm wrong for speaking from experience, but you are right because you speak from experience. I can tell you with absolute certainty that in my entire country you can't hook anything up to the grid without it having been inspected and signed off by a qualified electrician, and they generally won't even consider DIY installations for liability reasons.
The hard-line Islamic movement was already well underway.
It was petering out in both Iran and Iraq before we fueled Saddam to deal with the Shah, and then went into Iraq and deliberately separated peacefully coexisting Sunnis and Shiites into segregated neighborhoods. The USA is behind the success of the hard-line Islamic movement, which probably would be limping and gasping now if not for our deliberate actions to support it.
