To Glenn, whatever happened to the "list of U.S. citizens that the N.S.A spied on?" You announced plans to release it, then nothing - can you tell us where that list went and why it was never published?

'Overnight, everything I loved was gone': the internet shaming of Lindsey Stone
When a friend posted a photograph of charity worker Lindsey Stone on Facebook, she never dreamed she would lose her job and her reputation. Two years on, could she get her life back?
I think I stand by this. I am making my own problems with upgrade woes but my current comp is custom built that we did as a project and when it's your buddy building it you know generally there's no weird stuff (initially!) on there.-TaoPhoenix (February 21, 2015, 07:32 PM)
I haven't found a practical way to assemble appropriate notebook PCs, but for desktop / server, have almost always gone with custom.-ewemoa (February 21, 2015, 07:47 PM)
Are you saying that you overwrite their OS with the installation media that comes with the hardware?
If so, do they supply CDs, or do you burn them, or have another source? If from Lenovo, these are clean unlike the PCs they sent out?
Just want to have a clearer explanation.
Clearly overwriting with Mint is another story.

My main questions were answered...
Are there phones that can be used only when necessary? No
Are there bare-bones phones? No camera, no touchscreen, just a phone? No-crabby3 (February 18, 2015, 12:53 PM)
Voice Plans Minutes Monthly Fee
Anywhere Casual 0 $10.00 Select
If you rarely use a cell phone but want the comfort and safety of owning one, then our Anywhere Casual plan is the one for you. Under this plan, you pay the lowest monthly fee possible ($10.00) and only pay for minutes if you use them (25ยข). Most customers on this plan use 20 cell phone minutes or less per month, and sometimes none at all. This plan is ideal for emergency or casual use. Of course, you may upgrade to a different plan at any time.
Yes. Mr. Bond and all. But will Americans still be making jokes about this five years from now ? Two years before when I arrived here for school I thought I would like to stay. I am less sure I want to now. What is done by some in your country good name is terrible. And most here wish to not know about this if they can. I have concerns about saying things like this since I am a guest here. I did not feel that way before. Your game has changed for all of you. And my self too.-vortext (February 18, 2015, 09:31 AM)
That's convoluted and asinine enough to be believable. It does, however, have one major flaw. Nobody in the intelligence business thinks that far ahead. Technically, you could say we have no intelligence agencies - just counter intelligence, and only in the most literal sense.-Vurbal (February 18, 2015, 07:36 AM)
BWAHAHAHAHAAH~!
Yep. Pretty much!

The main application under consideration is currently an ecommerce application, that runs under Wordpress.
Shortly, that will be replaced by a dedicated ecommerce platform that is hosted on the server, without the Wordpress middle layer, written largely in PHP/Zend. A more robust ecommerce implementation (something that the Wordpress program, WooCommerce, tries to get around with a gazillion addons.) Magento is the more robust one and the techie programmer support is stronger.
Both have 1000s of installations.-Steven Avery (February 17, 2015, 09:16 AM)
"the fact that your server is not hardened against such attempts."
We recently switched to Nexcess as a host largely because they seem to be very attuned to techie stuff, quickly.
This has worked out very well.-Steven Avery (February 17, 2015, 09:16 AM)
Then the bad guys can sign in. One thing they do is place some sort of malware into index.html, which thenThat are 2 statements, totally not related to each other.

If anybody, bad or good, can log into your site then why/how do they get to change something like index.html? I've never been able to achieve that, neither as an admin nor as a regular user.
Most webservers require a separate, (s)ftp connection to the server for up/down-loading of website related files.-Ath (February 17, 2015, 06:43 AM)
First, and because of my style, I've got enemies, over here, perhaps less so, but in particular over there, and some users read and/or post here and there. It's not only one user who I could identify, it's also some more user(s) writing here and there, and which I could NOT yet "identify" (= in the sense of knowing this avatar here is that avatar there), and such a situation triggers paranoid (over-) reaction to some point.-peter.s (February 16, 2015, 04:21 PM)
As said, I had understood you in the line of "your thread should not have been created in the first place". Then for the absence of advertizing. Now let's get serious, please.-peter.s (February 16, 2015, 04:21 PM)
The very first element to advertizing is traffic: done. Second point to consider: qualified traffic. Do we need to discuss this, for DC? There are not THAT many such fora in the web, just some "general pc help" fora, and then those "technics" sites, often offsprings from pc magazines: No pc experience sharing.
I don't know what percentage of readers here do also write here, to some notable extent, but I bet you've (/ dare I say, we've?) got a LOT of readers, and they certainly come back with some regularity, because of the non-irrelevancy of our posts.
So what? Can't we all grasp that all prerequisites for good advertizing revenue are present? Or is general traffic only so-so? But why then is DC very high in google's list for every subject that's treated here? mouser, why not start a thread giving some statistics out? Thus, I convene, you first would need some figures, then only we could start discussing if it's worthwile to try to up those numbers, and in case, how to do that. Your next step would be, identify competing ad prices: How much "coverage" sw developers and such would get here, by advertizing here, and at which cost? In other words: Is DC's reach to small so that advertisers would either to have too high ad prices, or that advertising revenues would stay minimal anyway (i.e. by applying prices in accordance with alleged "minimal" reach)?
Then, there are some sites getting money from bringing in contact developers and customers; some such sites do make TOO much money from this, so there should be some possibilities in that, too: There's some room for a site that would take its share if that's a more decent share.-peter.s (February 16, 2015, 04:21 PM)
Ath, you are a "supporting member", whatever that means in dollars; my AHK intro alone did get almost 14,000 reads, and is third on Google for "autohotkey tutorial", so we can assume 12,000 or more hits on that came from the outside, i.e. I, here and there, bring quite some "traffic" and "coverage" to this forum. "Too long - didn't read" - perfect, but then, isn't there good practice to only be allowed to write wherever you first will have done some reading, to begin with?
I'm worth more than your possible 5 "supporting" crap dollars, Ath, so refrain from worthless meta communications and get back to our basics, which is about sharing experience, insight and ideas. And if you're up to spread fascism, outlinersoftware.com would be your ideal forum.
Tomos, "but the thread seems to be already fairly off-topic" - what did you mean? A thread originally about MR, and which then originated much more valid info, of which in part I'm thankful, and which in part I contributed myself? No problem, right?
Or did you want to express that I should not have created this thread to begin with, and/or should not have been ALLOWED to create this thread, i.e. it being off-topic for this forum? Whatever, from Ath's post citing yours, you very well see how dangerous it is to not speak plain English and hope people will CORRECTLY read between your lines.
Anyway, "the rewritten title" is not correct, "a rewritten title" might be subject to discussion in case.-peter.s (February 16, 2015, 12:02 PM)
