The last time I configured this was a long time ago, but a Linux computer with HTB can do amazing things - http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traff…

I really cracked the password - the BIOS was password-protected, but with boot from floppy enabled... So I dumped the SAM, uploaded it to a hashcracker service, waited a couple of days to get the results back... And the password was "abcd". Disappointing and hilarious at the same time.

That's how they do it in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, you can see the items someone bought by just looking at them - you'll see the knife dangling, the different types of grenades on their belt, the sidearm, defuse kits, ammo clips REMAINING (i.e. they get used up and you actually see less ammo clips on them when…

It's... magic!

The fact that "they all do it" doesn't make it acceptable IMHO. That's why I have Ghostery and AdBlock installed (plus today's web sites seem to be 200 kb content and 1 mb trackers, so everything loads way faster, too). Highly recommend you check them out, it doesn't have to be the way it is.

I was expecting this to be all over the comment section...

In my country you could live for a month for the price of this game (and many people do).

I think it's actually water that is making us crazy - you can check for yourself, but according to my research ALL murderers drank water in some point of their life! Or maybe it's air... whatever.

The first time I heard about Mint was as an alternative to Ubuntu's new UI... I also think there was some story how it all started in some forum where users were complaining about some UI change... but maybe this wasn't about Unity.

Anyway, the original point about FOSS guaranteeing user freedom still stands :)

Your only fear is invalid. This is the main difference between Open Source and everything else - everyone is free to copy the entire source code of everything, so the developers take great care not to piss off their users. If it still happens (unintentionally; developers are human too), the source code is copied, the…

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Yes (well, not "exclusive" because Linux programs routinely support all OS's, but they are a chore to configure on Windows vs. only one command on Linux, so eventually I got frustrated and installed Linux)

I'm certain you haven't even tried Linux Mint. It comes with a web browser, all add-ons like Flash, Java, etc., torrent client, PDF viewer, LibreOffice, proprietary graphics drivers, chat client... You can have a *usable* operating system in under 15 minutes, in contrast to Windows where it can take days until you…

It won't be locked (install whatever) and will be upgradeable. Just like a PC, but hopefully beautiful and small.

It's a delicious carrot.

Oh, got it... Yeah, I can see how this sucks. I didn't know they were doing it.

I'm not suffering *at all*. Steam has converted me from a full-time pirate to a happy paying customer. I can play offline, I get all updates automatically, I can pay the price of a pack of cigarettes for great games, I can share screenshots with my friends by pressing a single button, I can join games my friends are…

You're worried about prank calling? I'd be way more worried that someone would call me pretending to be my bank and scamming me out of my money.

Dude... some people are paying CHURCH taxes and buying little crosses... We're never going to run out of idiots.

Windows was retrofitted for servers, so it's natural that it will fail at that task in many different ways. Just use the appropriate tools for the task - Windows for Office and games, something UNIX-based for everything else.
