No linux user claims that and if they do they are stupid. At best its MORE secure because of "open source and stuff" and this is a perfect example of that. Someone found an issue, a fix was made and deployed. That's the definition of how open source works. Contrast that with Windows. if a...

I use a private media server and just stream my own media. I highly doubt I get the free data, and they're still downgrading me to 1.5mbps. My server doesn't respond to slow speeds by downgrading the stream on the fly and just chokes to death. If I want to download the video instead of stream...

Anyone who actually knows what they are talking about never say it's perfectly secure against attacks just because open source. They'd say that it's more secure than if it was just a single team of people with eyes on it. And this is a prime example of how that works. It was found by someone...

weird how they dont mention how you get this ransomware. to encrypt /, id imagine you need to have downloaded it and then ran it as root. People who would do that should not have root

Its open source. there's always a way to remove it. Definitely not suggesting to build it yourself (unless you're a pro, then have at it), but try a variation build, like waterfox or pale moon. I dont really see "switch to google chrome!" as a valid option to counter this; google is an ad...

You could change the headline to "AMD stresses several times that Quantum is a concept and not intended for mass production; Interviewer fails to understand, rewords same question slightly differently."

I want it. I don't own a console, and yet I still have guests come over that want to play games sometimes. Just this past weekend I played Broforce on my TV 4 player with controllers and had a ton of fun. My wife has just a mini underpowered laptop and sometimes she wants to play games with me...

steamOS is intended for console gamers. Definitely not PC gamers. even a real pc gamer making the switch would go with linux + steam, rather than steamOS. The target sale for PC gamers is steam link. place it in your living room and have it stream games from your overpowered windows PC. Steam...

Few sites can feed you at that rate. But when i can download from steam at 10MB/s, while watching netflix, while my wife is watching netflix in the other room. star citizen is downloading at 1MB/s (limited by them of course). And I'm browsing the web. And playing Diablo. And thats just on...

Maybe its becasue the H100i fits in more cases? But I was also wondering how the H110 compares to the H100i performancewise. After reading the review I really want to get one of the two.

What apple does is only sell 1 "model" of something. You can get the iMac 21" or iMac 27". Which for their reasoning is "iMac". Dell sells computers like "inspiron 660s", "inspiron 660", "xps 8500", "alienware x51". So if each of the dell brands sells 1 million. and iMac sells 1.1 million...

#40! And sadly it definitely isn't linux distros (unless people on campus are stupid). University of Illinois has "cosmos" which a repository for most major distros of linux. And by being on the university network you would be able to download at insane speeds (I would always get 30-40mbps...

Well when a private news service makes a claim, it doesnt just automatically nuke the video. And I'm sure they get enough claims that they dont have a person manually check them all. They have a DMCA bot check all the claims. So a claim by a private news service triggered the DMCA bot to...

It's my belief that the single handed savior for linux will be Apple. From what I've heard about Mountain Lion has security options to switch your desktop to "only app store apps" mode. And knowing their history with iOS... I feel like the "only app store apps" 'option' will soon become a...

people who had it work probably use time syncing people who had problems probably have the time set to not sync and that leaves the apple method to do the changing.
