When I graduated High School in 1995 the only computer course we had were using Apple IIe's with some Basic and some Turbo Pascal programming. The funny thing is the Industrial Arts class had Macintosh Classic's and we were using Claris Works.

I have a Raspberry Pi, but now I'm more so sitting at the point of wtf do I use this for? I was originally thinking maybe some low power server to run a BNC or something small. Media player is another idea but I have enough devices that will play/stream media hooked up to my television.

Actually that would be a pretty neat idea. Sort of an online style baby book. But who knows the future of facebook. Though the parent comment was mine and I forgot to log in.

They also state the same thing for Firefox Home as well on iOS. Though I think the age on that is 18+ I can't remember exactly what it said the last time I updated it.

This is the reason why when/if I buy a name brand PC or laptop, I'll do a compete format and install from scratch. Screw the bloatware, if I were to use decrapify it or whatever the apps called I find that Windoze doesn't really work as well as a vanilla install.

You are running a software built by said commercial 3rd-party company. They don't need that server in the middle to see all of those things.

So there's no increase in capability if they are malicious. There is an increase in risk if they are incompetent - and do something like cache requests/responses containing that data.

Try using Apple HW instead of just bashing it. There are a lot of MB/MBP out there running MS crap because they are so reliable, and actually run software without machinations. Rating a new version of an OS as a service pack is ludicrous. Maybe you ought to actually use a permissions based OS before you run your keys the next time

Why?

In any event, hiding the dialogs when GIMP loses focus makes a hell of a lot more sense than dialogs that won’t minimize or hide at all. When I want to see the desktop, I want to see it without any stupid unhideable dialogs in the way.

I don’t want a single window mode. I want the things I mentioned. Unless I maximize the window, and then perhaps yes a single-window mode would be better than letting the floating palettes overlap the image window.

With what TheRaven64 said ... "It's also worth noting that this doesn't affect 64-bit kernels for the very simple reason that they don't support 16-bit compatibility and so don't have the affected subsystem." I have no doubts there are other exploits and flaws in my 64bit version. Just this one specifically affects the 32bit version.

Well the article says that Microsoft was notified of this bug June 2009. Guess they feel it isn't that big of a threat if they haven't patched it as of yet. But then again that's nothing new. Guess I'm glad I run 64bit.

I got my closed beta access, just gotta wait to get off work to download and try it. The only other game I'm excited about is the upcoming Lego Universe.
