Unfortunately common sense is a rare commodity. I am managing several mail servers with a couple hundred domains between them. You would be surprised how many calls I answer each week that go along the lines of " My e-mail is broken, the attachments won't open. Please can you check the server?"...
I have recently noticed an increase in spam purporting to come from couriers. This follows the general pattern that your delivery is late and you need to open the attachment to get the tracking number. If you try, nothing will appear to happen.
This is because the attachment is a virus that you...
I was reading this thread thinking, "fresh spinner2, iStick been on charge for an hour plus the MVP on standby, I'll be good for a day or two" and the screen went black.
At least I know that even when unprepared, I can survive whatever Eskom throws my way.:finger:
I know, spamming would do more harm than good. A concerted effort on our behalf could be of great benefit though. this site is an awesome reference point too.
May just be a weird anomaly, but it caused a huge spike in CPU usage for me. Using Opera in Linux Mint, same happened with Chrome, just not as bad. Will check again on my desktop at home. There aren't as many funny services running there.
I like the clean look though. Very nice and clean.
@Luke Van Your cause is noble and will benefit both you and your father if you help him convert. I would like to know your progress on that front. Perhaps make a journal in the Newbies corner sub-forum. - @kimbo 's journey was a great inspiration to me when I first found this place.
Personally...
Insurance is saying that you need to prove she was the guilty party before they pay. They are looking after their clients interest. (legal speak)
#human speak :-
They know that lawyers are expensive and people are scared off for this reason.
As long as the incident was reported within 24 hrs...
"as pure as a breath of water vapour from a mountain waterfall "
Maybe from the menthol vapours out there..
I lost interest at "without the 700 plus chemicals" This is click bait and sensationalism at its best. Problem is that people read and believe this drivel.
Best defence to the 'You know...
LoL @tetrasect I feel your pain.
Having the ability to customise my system to exactly how I want/need it to be is a big draw for me. I like that I tell the computer what to do, not the other way around. My Home machine is totally different to my work PC, even though it is the same OS.
After...
The main issue I have seen is native games. Thus adding Playonlinux, which just wine packaged specifically for games. I use it myself to run windows games with very few hassles.
Yep, Steam OS.

It's in Beta still but has good reviews. add the playonlinux app to this and you have a machine ddesigned from the ground up to deliver content and push...
If you want a fast, stable, easy to use operating system Give Linux mint a try. Very user friendly -I told my Gran it's the windows and she has no problem. Also cut down the time I spend fixing it to zero.
As for Win10, I will have to give a spin before I pass judgement. Just deciding whether...
Yep, at work I have two monitors and four workspaces. Pretty much the same as that app. Each workspace is dedicated to a specific set of tasks. Sounds confusing but I can spread out over a dozen open apps/windows across them and stay organised.
Kinda like this:-
My personal machines are all Linux only for years too. I admin a mixed M$ / FruityCorp environment and am thankful every day the the simplicity and power Linux gives me. I've made a lot of money from Windows though, so I try not to bash it too much ;)
Interesting to note that it will now...
