surely a company hiring experienced techs/troubleshooters would pay me more than i'm making in my current job >_>
I am trying to make the livecd work, but i am getting stuck at the missing operating system screen. I am not a programmer and this is my first atempt to use it.
I have followed the instructions to make a liveCD with tails. I have syncronized as well and it shows the message that is syncronized.

Yeah, it's a constant fight. The scary thing with this one is that it makes social engineering extremely easy for a lot of those companies who don't have large enough key sizes...
@TomWijsman yeah, until they do the proper revoke and re-publish of stronger keys
thing is, most people who would actually abuse this probably don't have the ability to write in "stilted" English: that is, extremely correct grammar, very formal language
I only trust unsolicited emails if they come in stilted English and are virtually free of typos; I can very easily detect common typos generated by people with certain native languages because the mistakes are so common
(I also check the mail headers to make sure)
I don't understand how this fools ANY mail programs though
step 1: random remote server establishes TCP socket on the SMTP port. EHLO and all that. bark bark.
step 2: SMTP server receiving email does a DNS query on the IP address of the remote SMTP server. If it ain't paypal's DNS, then it ain't paypal's mail server. Dummy!
shouldn't even need DKIM if the DNS entries can be trusted.
and anyway, DKIM might just be an additional level of security on top of DNS verification. you should automatically reject the email if it claims to be from paypal.com but the DNS of the IP either doesn't resolve, or resolves to something like ip-188-42-33-39.fla.comcast.net
defense in depth is nice, though.... a secure, reliable DNS system is a good start; DKIM rounds out the deal. Tack on protocol encryption (TLS) and you've got a pretty good thing going. Cap it off with identity verification via mutual PGP (encrypted email) and it's really, really secure.
Just make sure to use the largest key sizes that the key generation program supports. Always. And always generate keys using a newish version of the program.
I've heard of reducing key sizes for performance. PAH. If that's such a big issue, buy a hardware crypto module and stick it in a PCIe port.
ridiculous number of signs per second
waaaaaaaaaay more than even the hardware crypto stuff on recent intel ISAs
@allquixotic: people are the weakest/easiest link in any system
I'd probably check any hypothetical job offer to see if the person who contacted me, or the company that contacted me exists. I'd ask about the role to see if they know as much as a HR person should, and so on.
Well, thanks. :) I was a little concerned because everybody seems convinced that Windows 8 RTM disables the admin shares yet everywhere I look, that isn't the case. I'm going to go with the assumption that it's expected behavior. Thanks again.
@TomWijsman @soandos : meta.superuser.com/questions/5757/… prolly should bring this to your attention, since its about a question that both of you approved.
When I set a program to open a specific file type by default, it works (like Word 2013 for PDFs). However, when I change the default back to reader, I lose Word as an option that I can pick in the open with sub-menu.
How can I get it to stick?

Going in the Marketplace is all fun and that, but do I know which of the apps I've downloaded is consuming the most space on my hard drive? Are their binaries physicall spread over multiple folders in different locations, or are they properly packed together?
For someone who is short on storage space (like on a Macbook Air -128 GB - Dual partition), each app counts towards storage. And what is the easiest way to find out?
I have a folder in my Dropbox that I keep my eBooks in it. I want to find an app for the iPad that can do these to me:

If it was the default, it would launch in modernUI. It dosen't cause the modernUI portion is broken. If you really feel this question should be reopened, consider asking on meta. I VERY strongly feel this is an exact dupe, and the answer dosen't work as is, anyhow. — Journeyman Geek1 hour ago
@Bob: you could answer @Sathya's question to that effect
@Bob: I wouldn't mind checking and screenshotting for you If I had the details and I wasn't currently backing it up to test something potentially horribly risky
@Sathya: On the other hand, its clear product recommendation ;p
I should be done backing up in a minute, then need to re-mount the VHD and boot

You can safely remove after pausing the USB data transfer so there is no chance to corrupt your device partition and even not the data.
Edit: Sorry I forget to mention I disconnected the device and reconnected it and resume the copy process without any problem.

May be there are more and you know it but at this time I got this one in Windows explorer. Just select the file by clicking on it and then press Alt+V now the under the "View" menu you will see the options and with these options you will see their shortcuts respectively.

@JourneymanGeek and not admit it in public. And even go to the extent of not doing it :P

I'd like to request that this question is reviewed. I don't feel that the question marked as such is in fact an exact duplicate, as this question was created to discover the rather hidden official way (it took me a week to stumble over it back in the preview days) of actually shutting down a Wind...
@JourneymanGeek I'll be honest, I did search this before I posted it, and skipped over the "keyboard shortcut" post as that wasn't what I was looking for - and would imagine people with the same question would too. However that's why I suggested an edit & merge instead
It wasn't a case of I saw it, read it and re-hashed it
this isn't the only question that got closed due to 'similarness'. I think we'll have to deal with that with respect to the preview and non preview question eventually
I'm currently waiting on my shiny new system to run Windows 8 on. I have an older system that has Windows 7 installed now on which I'd like to try Windows 8 on in the meanwhile. I intend to use the enterprise edition evaluation in order to try it, and then uninstall it when I get my new system.

I am having trouble with sms(text messages) with my Nokia C1-01
I can send them, but not receive them. I am trying to downgrade the firmware to fix the problem. I do not have a nokia cable. Can it be done by bluetooth if so how. If not is there an other way?
I am in a business, and my mechanic need those phone working asap!
