Top 10 Awesome Things You Can Do With Text I appreciate what you're saying here, but I tend to disagree with most of it. I think things like text expansion actually offer an alternative to the shorthand writing conventions that have been ushered in with the era of SMS and Twitter. Text expansion is able to yield identical results in fewer keystrokes. This promotes efficiency, not laziness. Naturally, I would expect you to respond that there are certain circumstances and modes of communication among which "laziness" is excusable, if not appropriate, and I'd have to agree. I can't agree with your comparing the writer to a musician playing an improper chord either. k thx 4 reading thru that ^ =p lol P.S. Yes, writing is crafting sentences and love of language and fashioning patterns and weeping over beauty. Writing is also making a shopping list, declining a sales pitch, setting a schedule, and adding contact information to a boilerplate business message. Lighten up, Mr Angsty One True Writer. I can see your point.
Space Debris Orbital debris, or “space junk,” is any man-made object in orbit around the Earth that no longer serves a useful purpose. Space junk can be bad news for an orbiting satellite. On February 11, 2009, a U.S. communications satellite owned by a private company called Iridium collided with a non-functioning Russian satellite. To minimize the risk of collision between spacecraft and space junk, the U.S. A distinctive ring marks the geostationary orbit, a unique place where satellites orbit at the same rate that the Earth turns, allowing them to essentially remain over a single spot on Earth at all times. Though the black dots that represent objects in space swarm around the Earth, obscuring the surface in the lower image, the space junk situation is not as dire as it may appear. To read more about what it takes to maintain a satellite’s orbit, common Earth orbits, and the science behind calculating an orbit, please see the Earth Observatory series About Orbits.

Mac OS X touché par un ransomware propagé par Transmission Un nouveau type de malware fleurit de plus en plus sur le web, peut être en avez-vous entendu parler ou même l'avez-vous vécu, ce logiciel malveillant s'installe et chiffre toutes vos données puis vous réclame de l'argent pour vous rendre vos données. Tout le monde est touché, les serveurs des entreprises, les particuliers, les NAS (un épisode sur les Synology fut douloureux pour certains utilisateurs) et aujourd'hui se rajoutent les Mac. Pas parce que l'OS est mauvais, et la sécurité de Mac OS X n'est pas remise en question mais le résultat reste le même : le parc est aussi touché. Gatekeeper a été mis à jour pour bloquer cette version particulière de Transmission 2.90 et Apple a révoqué le certificat en plus de mettre à jour XProtect.
How to Stay Secure Online @Rose Tyler: Not sure if you meant "you" as in myself specifically, or a more general "you" so I'll answer both. Personally, I use Linux as my primary OS, and I browse with FlashBlock plus NoScript with strict settings. I do almost no browsing in Windows, and my NoScript settings are even tighter there. For a more general answer: you don't have to change OSes to be relatively safe, you just have to adopt good habits. You can minimise the likelihood of getting keyloggers and other infections through good computing habits. Another good idea: browse from a virtual machine. Finally, if you're really paranoid, you can use an Ubuntu liveCD to do all the really important stuff.

How to Turn Your Computer into a Retro Game Arcade While I've never heard the term "freezes" for save states, they are a very useful feature. However, a word of caution — be careful to not overuse them. They can really cheapen a game if you use them too much. But yeah, nice guide.

Six Comedians We Wish Would Return to Standup I've always rejected the idea that standup comedy is useful as merely a stepping stone to other things (movies, a sitcom, writing gigs). In my opinion, it’s as noble a final destination as any other. That’s what made Seinfeld documentary Comedian so refreshing to watch — a legendary, insanely-wealthy comic heading enthusiastically back into the standup fray, while a virtual no-name claws and screams as he tries to escape it. That’s not to say that a successful standup shouldn’t venture out into other areas. Here are a few comedians that are overdue for a return to the stage: Jim Carrey His recent return to SNL was a tease — offering an all-too-brief glimpse back inside the mind of a comic genius that has for the most part been wasted for a decade. Maybe he’s lost his spastic comic edge. Adam Sandler A lot of people probably don’t remember him from his days in standup. Eddie Murphy Michael Richards We all know what happened the last time he took the stage in a comedy club. Drew Carey

Locky - Tout ce qu'il y a à savoir sur le malware du moment Vous êtes quelques-uns à m'avoir demandé d'écrire un article sur le nouveau malware qui fait rage en ce moment : Locky. Et bien voilà. Qu'est-ce que Locky ? Locky est ce qu'on appelle un ransomware, c'est-à-dire un malware (pour Windows) qui prend en otage vos fichiers en les chiffrant et qui vous réclame une rançon à payer pour pouvoir déchiffrer vos précieuses données. Comment Locky se propage-t-il ? Comme la plupart des ransomwares, Locky se diffuse par email (envoyés grâce à un botnet) dans lesquels se trouve une pièce jointe mortelle. Quant au nom de l'expéditeur, ce n'est jamais le même. Le fichier Word (.doc) attaché contient un texte étrange qui indique d'activer les macros pour pouvoir le lire. Quels sont les dégâts qu'il engendre ? À partir de là, le ransomware commence à chiffrer les fichiers en fonction de leur extension et affiche dans le bloc note, un message réclamant de l'argent Le fond d'écran de Windows est lui aussi remplacé, affichant la même demande.
