Wheeler Supports Internet as a Title II Utility. Mobile, as well.

Well, there must be the gnashing of teeth and moaning in the inner sanctums of telcos and ISPs (probably Congress, as well): The Chairman of the FCC has come down supporting the classification of the internet as a Title II public utility (which it truly is), and the FCC will relate to it as such. This means the business interests of the telco/ISPs will come second to those of the public, and that there will be no further receiving subsidies they receive to maintain net neutrality, wh...

Hi,

I didn't know where to post this, since there is no forum dedicated to ShadowFX, so I posted this here.

Just a few days ago, I used windows update and:

1. Initially had problems updating KB3000850

2. Was advised to i) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and ii) sfc /scannow

3. Afterwhich, KB3000850 was able to install to completion

4. Then after rebooting, I found that ShadowFX wasn't working any more.

 

To try fixing this, I uninstalled ShadowFX, ...

Yesterday, Kaspersky revealed (report in pdf form) yet another spy program…this time it appears that it was very well disguised on the hdds of the top manufacturers (WD, Toshiba, Seagate, and more). It is an eavesdropper,

“The targets included government and military institutions, telecommunication companies, banks, energy companies, nuclear researchers, media, and Islamic activists, Kaspersky said.” – Huffpost

 

The way it was done was ingenious, and a break...

Start8 and Fences: First Apps Installed on New PC

If you follow my posts you might have seen I planned and recently finished my new PC.  Putting together a new PC is a bit of work, at least assembling all the parts together and making sure everything works.  That's only one part of it though, as you also have to install Windows, install all your apps and games, and then get your data moved back.

My new PC doesn't have an optical drive, so I loaded up my Windows 8 ISO onto a USB drive and installed it.  It didn't ta...

My Quicklaunch dock suddenly disappeared from my desktop - the tabbed dock remains. When I go to configure the settings the title shows Quicklaunch Dock (Hidden). The Auto-Hide has been unchecked. It just will not show on my desktop. I am using ObjectDock 2.20 on Windows 8.1 OS.

What Movie Did You Last See?

What's the last movie you saw?  Doesn't matter if it was at home or at a theater.

Last one I saw was Captain Philips.  I thought it a pretty good movie, especially since it was based on real events.

Well my Partner and I have taken the plunge and bought a block of land and will be building our dream home. At the moment we are in the planning stage with a reputable builder. For those Aussies it's GJ Gardner Homes. We are auctioning the house in Melbourne in March so the proceeds from that will be more than enough to cover the entire costs for our new abode. So far in 2 open days there have been 68 groups of people gone through the house, 10 of those have requested engineering reports and...

HTTP/2 Protocol is (almost) done – Faster and safer web browsing promised. Probably will take time.

Mark Nottingham (head of the IETF Group – Internet Engineering Task Force) has announced that HTTP/2 has been completed…and Google Chrome is embracing it, dumping SPDY (in 2016). The whole web won’t convert to HTTP/2 all at once, though. Also, Nottingham said in 2014: “HTTP/2 isn’t magic Web performance pixie dust; you can’t drop it in and expect your page load times to decrease by 50%.”  Once server admins get the hang of HTTP/2, however, it should boost web performance.”

Windows 8.1 Charms Bar

I would possibly like Windows 8.1 except for the charms bar.  It is so annoying in how often the damn thing appears and prevents computer usage, that it is making my Laptop mostly unusable.

No wonder Microsoft had a problem.  I absolutely hate that awful Charms Bar.  It was named that I'm sure because it killed Windows 8 like a charm.

Anyway, how do I prevent that thing from mouse pad activation.  Whenever, I move my mouse with the touchpad from right to left anywhe...

Has SD changed this in the last year or so??  

 

I used to be able back up my executables and in then re-load them without having to validate on their damn server.

 

I've been sending them a renewal fee for over 10 years;  while not really using the products all that much.

 

I had decided that this would be my last year since there t not enough NEW stuff that I need and/or want.

 

Am I correct?  That to even USE p...
