Mark you call yourself a Linux guy and you defend Windows? How dare you! :D Just kidding...

A lot of Windows freezes could be related to spyware as well. Don't get me started when I used to work for MS call center and dealt with people when the Sasser virus broke. Lets just say a lot of people shouldn't be using a computer.

There are some things you still have to use the terminal with, like when an application you want isn't in the repos and they don't have a deb or rpm for it so you have to install it from source which is annoying, but frankly that doesn't happen all too often and in distros like ubuntu you never have to use the terminal really...

You are doing something wrong if you feel you need to use the terminal all the time.

I file that under the "user issues" category I mentioned earlier. Inadequate protection/configuration, or plain stupidity in allowing a random web popup to "clean" your computer. ;)

Nothing is 100% fool proof since there will always be a better fool out there. :)

BTW, what is that "Dead Like Me" thing in your signature about? I liked that show when it was on.

Nothing is foolproof because there is always a bigger fool around the corner. ;)

It's clickable. :whistle: It takes you to the IMDB site for the DVD movie release coming up. My wife and I both loved that show.

Oh sweet, I have signatures turned off -- but me and the wife were also big fans of that show.. Will have to let her know there is a movie coming out..

Should be good ;)

After the departure of Rube Sofer, a new head reaper named Cameron Kane takes over. He's a slick businessman who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead. Chaos ensues and brings out the worst in Daisy and Mason who begin drinking anew. George and Reggie re-connect for the first time when George reaps a new friend of Reggie's.

Here is a trailer

Oh the new head reaper is Desmond from Lost ;)

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
