@freiheit funny story. My mother in law is incredibly anti-pre-marrital sex. She drilled it into my wife as a kid from like 8 years old and caused quite a bit of emotional baggage for my wife
Turns out that she herself only got married because she got knocked up
I have a raspberry pi connected to my home network, and am wanting to open port 22 for SSH.
If someone somehow managed to get SSH access to my raspberry pi via SSH (e.g. guessed password), would this in an way compromise the security of other machines (mostly Windows 7/8) connected to my home ne...
@Iain They seemed to be mostly close-voting... I'm not sure if all the faeiries are working well together, I think there need to be lots of down-vote faeries, but if they show up, then the votes:0 faeries don't see those ones...
This week I work for a new customer, and so far I've only worked with Windows Server 2012 R2.
At my current job there are a lot of Windows server 2012 installations. And we use them via RDP. And every time I have to do simple tasks, like loggin off, I'm amazed!; Drawing fictive circles with my m...
and they way they fixed that, by window-tising formerly full screen metro apps is something microsoft skunkworks stardock did well enough that ms stole it
@pauska Ah, I see what you're saying. I actually sat at a Vista OEM machine last month - UAC and the file copying delay really was as bad as we remember. It drove me up the wall for the 15 minutes I had to touch it
the big problem with windows 8 is that as a tablet user, being dumped to a desktop sucked and as a desktop user, being dumped to a tablet interface sucked.
Microsoft so busy trying to please everyone with just one system that they ended up pleasing hardly anyone
The only problem I have with it is that, due to it's cost (£1000+), I'm not sure how big the market is. It wouldn't work for me because it's not enough of a laptop and I expect for many it's too much tablet
I must admit, I don't really mind have multiple devices
We have this obsession in IT with trying to make everything to everything (At one point we were going to have Android phones that had a desktop OS behind when docked), but proper tools need to be made with a specific purpose in mind IMHO. The iPad is limited, but I think that's what makes it so good because you know it's perfect at what it does do
Yeah, I don't mind devices that are flexible but I'd rather carry 2 devices that are each good at half the things I need than one device that is kinda sucky at everything
I think I'd rather have the smaller iphone and an ipad than just have the tablet-sized iphone, for example
I don't really have a use for a tablet. Laptop + phone is enough. Though I'm considering the Surface Pro as a lighter/more portable laptop, not as a tablet.
@Dan Eh. I tend to type a lot while browsing, so a physical keyboard is a must. I've reached 2000 tabs open before (yes, three zeros), though I am a bit of an outlier there.
@Bob I don't have an issue with the ultrabook thing or the new laptop/tablet combo - I just question whether I want to compromise at both ends of the scale rather than just buy two good products.
@DennisNolte Still more expensive than non-ultrabook laptops, though.
Actually, last time I checked the Surface Pro wasn't that much more expensive than the equivalent ultrabook (smaller screen size, but otherwise similar specs).
But the $1-2k price tag means I'm still putting off that purchase and lugging around my heavy HP pile of junk for now.
@Bob i wonder how much ram the browser did use when you had 2k taps open, for most of my machines (even desktop ones) somewhere near 50 there is a major breakdown in switching speed and response time.
ps: have you considered storing your browser including the temp files in memory?
I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Dropbox.
When I restart Windows Server (using Remote Desktop) then Dropbox fails to start until I actually connect to Remote Desktop again and log in with my user. How can I make Dropbox start without anyone logging in?
@DennisNolte SnagIt scrolling screenshot. Firefox can also save a full-page screenshot (shift+F2, screenshot). And there's browser extensions for both FF and Chrome.

the Brazil petrochemical company, petrobras, just bought a broken ancient refinery in pasadena for more than one billion dollars, and it was valuated in one percent of it.
