  1. Problem with Android is the carriers are in the middle of the update process causing either massive delays or even never on updates. And that is real bullshit. I have a Google controlled phone..a Nexus. Google released security updates today. I got them today. Google is very good with security, they need to drop a hammer on the carriers. And are doing so. The security updates only take a couple of weeks now, even on Verizon. But that is a very recent change. The Chromebooks are totally google controled and they are rock solid. But not allowing Java is huge, and is how most hackers get a foothold on a windows network. Dave did a live hack for channel 5 in Cleveland on a Mac. Phished them to a website that attacked their out of date Java and owned them. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/watch-how-hackers-get-inside-ohio-womans-computer-and-steal-personal-data Did the same thing to a PC on Katie Couric. https://vimeo.com/77102165 Put an unpatched anything in a not text savy persons hand they will get owned if someone wants to own them. Bottom line, you dont see the big corporate hacks on macs because the high value targets dont use them
  2. Awesome find. Going to check them out to be sure but it looks legit. Bet we can get OR to affiliate.
  3. That isnt the fault of windows. It is the fault if lazy incompetent people that run their systems. For example Caspers family has virus, and was probably one of the zombies you speak of. None of my family has that problem. I'll remind you that OR, which runs on Nix and is administered from Macs, got hacked. Shoddy security and bad choices cause hacks. I know the details of most of the major hacks you speak of. Damn near everyone of them was a user running admin on an unpatched machine clicking on bad shit in an email that never should have been delivered...that took them to a website that never should have been allowed. Target, Sony, the Feds personnel records all of them went down that way. The level of incompetence in all of them is staggering. https://youtu.be/jKpaaDKVovk
  4. I run 3000 windows computers with no AV. They dont get virus's. You should stick to mysql.
  5. Good back up plan, for when the Multi breaks down.
  6. You would probably die a horrible death in a cloud of salt dust. But with a big grin on your face. It isn't that naturally smooth and can go away in a hurry. In a heartbeat the salt can sink...it is laying on top of mud for the most part. For the races and speed runs they survey it, layout a solid run and then smooth it out. Google is telling me it is pretty f'd up right now and they have canceled speed week the last two years.
  7. I did it in a car once, it was a blast. Would you do it on your bike? I am going to be out there this summer on my bike. I normally don't do salt. Put the bike away yesterday morning because I know that Sunday night would be the beginning of salt season. But it sure is tempting. Yea, you can wash it right away but you won't get it all and the wash job will dissolve some of it...it will get in the little corners and connectors......

  12. Or more accurately you have decided but you haven't talked yourself into it yet.
  13. You've already decided, you just haven't done it yet.
  14. Yea, washer. No big deal. Most helmet makers sell replacments pretty cheap also. But let them dry naturally. They melt easily.

  16. Heck, skip Vegas too and ship from Salt Lake. More time in Utah and Colorodo.
  17. Ok gang....am I better off doing Colorado and Utah on the way to Vegas and skip NM/AZ from a fun/roads/shit to do point of view. I think it is a no brainer...CO and Utah win. Better roads and scenery, a night in Denver, the salt flats and Tabernacle Choir and all that in Salt Lake City.....
  18. About two hours from San Diego is a Meerkat rescue. For a hundy you can hang in the cage with them for a few hours. Just you and the wife, no one else. One of the more epic things I have ever done.Pics. https://jimkennedy.smugmug.com/Meerkats Link... http://www.fellowearthlings.org/info.html
