It shows some very interesting points: - omit unionfs and be happy. Use symlinks instead. - use an online repository as 'quasi system hd' - have an open community standard right from the beginning - use the power and speed of C++ - and have a GUI toolkit that is far from being rediculous (unlike ...

Start -> System -> Gparted. Wird die Platte da erkannt? Und welche Partitionierungsinfos werden angezeigt? Du hast die Platte unter Windoze auf Fehler überprüft, oder? Für FAT musst du das original scandisk von W95/98 nehmen. Eine Oberfächenanalyse schadet bei alten Platten auch nichts. NTFS muss sau ...

Scott, no offence here. It is the BitDefender site that bothered me. They try to withhold information about the malware in order to sell their software. This is UNTRUSTWORTHY style. Never trust anti-virus or anti-spyware companies anyway. (The ideal persons with the required knowledge are former ...

You know that you have it, because you - the user - has to download and install it. There is currently no known way to install FF plug-ins without user interaction. Uninstalling it removes everything according to http://www.heise.de . Solution: only download FF plug-ins from mozilla.org. They try to ...

Answer: yes.

It logs the outgoing traffic to banking sites and logs the keys you pressed on your computer keyboard in a quite intelligent way.

Sigmund, are you aware that 0.8.3 and 0.8.2 use the now obsolete../profile-conf as database? In 4.xx series Puppies the new network wizard should fill the gap - it uses a new database format. However version 0.8.1 uses its own profiles, somewhere in ~/.config/Pwireless if I recall right. In theory ...

Autoconnect filled a little gap in the 2.xx and 3.xx series puppies. 4.xx has a new network wizard, which incorporates this feature. Moreover, 4.xx uses a new database format for the profiles. This is the right thread for 4.xx users who want to autoconnect: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic ...

Well, sadly enough, I have to agree with all of you...

a) the term reparations pulls the discussion in a missleading direction. Nobody in the forum, no politician, no one I know talks about such nonsense. b) The Hague is important. Cynicism is missplaced. Not the army or individuals are responsible. Read the articles of Lifton and Zimbardo ('Stanford ...

To make one thing clear: I love America, I love the people there, just as much as any other people. The only people I don't like are those who commit war crimes. Period. (This answers 3.) Unfortunately I do not have a feeling of nationality. I don't know why but I never missed it. I don't feel ...

Scott, you might have the best intentions... but... as you can see in over 50 years (every 10 years military equipment is outdated), the decrease in "troop deployment" is more than squared by new technology and also new strategies: informational warfare e.g., drones, etc.etc. In fact the chart shows ...
