and us linux users hardly ever have to boot in the first place (for most, not all I admit, it's nicer to put the machine in to sleep or hibernate.).

This rings true for almost every computer user, regardless of OS nowadays. Nobody likes starting a new session.

Sometimes the old guard aren't just holding back progress, but don't tell that to inexperienced youths and bitter old men who want to make a name for themselves.

I guess you fit in between those age groups ;D. You middle-aged guru.

What's this lift-off contact connector and where can I buy it ?

They lost income.Had to dump huge amounts of stock. And thus had less for R&D.

The annoying thing with "Previous Versions" is that you need to have the server service started. Which is weird
since there is no service level dependency it provides to the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

But they are ! Antivirus programs run most of their program as a service (services.msc). A quick look reveals Mcafee uses 4 services
Framework, Shield, Task Manager, Validation Trust protection.

The avg user program and tray icon's are just front-ends to control some aspects of these services or to start custom scans.

What happens when said AV solution quarantines svchost.exe ?

p.s. it is perfectly viable for a literate individual to not use an antivirus. It is also possible to not use AV on a PC in a corporate environment, but it has its implications. T

I think using the OS supplied security controls the Windows Vista/7/8 family provides: Applocker/SRS, Group Policy, App-V
is preferable to running antivirus in an OR scenario. It's also a lot more complicated.

Aah so instead of John doe owning 1.1.1.0/24,1.2.0.0/16, 6.6.6.0/24, etc ... he only owns one. OK thanks.

Can someone explain me how a protocol with bigger addresses and bigger routes fixes
a hardware resource problem.

And takes a very long time /dev/{u}random does not have a lot of bandwith. In my opinion a single dd if=/dev/zero suffices for drives going out of the company.
But for a reinstallation of a system in the company I just format and reinstall again because a zero pass takes a long time as well.

They milk their data-usage plan subscribers as much as they can even going so far as reducing the bandwith of their premium paid-up front users.
And then they try to convince everybody it's for guaranting that everyone has (some) connectivity.
Douchebags ! Verizon customers vote with your money !

Yes these are just 'born' troublemakers: Bohemians and barbarians. It's not like men have fought each other for resources before.

You can't expect them to collaborate with their 'enemy'
The only thing they can do is guerilla warfare or agree to the occupation.
If they didn't have the support from the palestinian public eg: if Israel was actually civil
with these people instead of raiding them en masse and 'interrogating' their children then Hamas
wouldn't exist as it is now anyway. Punishing everybody for the crimes of a few is wrong policy.

Threat the people like people, work your informants
and send special ops to the actual terrorists, that's how you get them.

Just out of curiosity which workloads are better suited to vim than Sublime and vice versa ? When do you decide to switch editors.
