I'm with ya... but actually, I agree with HerrBeter. It's not a proportionate response unless you make dam sure you're costing him as much in repairs as it cost to get the insulation put in, plus the fuck-around-and-find-out fee.

I, for one, have been trained by corporations and news agencies to react impulsively and without any deeper consideration for decades now.

Depending on how far away the box is, this might be the most efficient possible alternative.

If it takes you an hour to get the drive and plug it in, and the drive is 14TB, you're looking at a download speed of 31,000 megabits per second.

Went back to watch the video.. yeah that's wierd.

DKMS would have been my next suggestion too.

Have you tried pacman -Syu nvidia?

That's not good for your mental or physical health. I've been pissed off for too long. Just share the news stories and suggest alternatives, and never give the corps any money or data if you can help it.

It's just corps being corps. Even the guy who literally gave 10,000 people AIDS didn't get jail time. The Dropbox execs will be lucky to get anything more severe than a bouquet and a box of chocolates. We all know that, and no amount of demanding will do jack shit. Only your wallet has a voice that gets heard.

Had no idea about earlier charges.

Some hilarious highlights:

He bought stolen phone card account information from American hackers. After setting up premium toll chat lines in Hong Kong and in the Caribbean, he used a "war dialer" program to call the lines using the stolen card numbers—ringing up €61,000 in ill-gained profits.

In 1998, he was convicted of 11 counts of computer fraud, 10 counts of data espionage, and an assortment of other charges. He received a two-year suspended sentence—because, at just 20, he was declared "under age" at the time the crimes were committed.

In January 2001, LetsBuyIt was close to bankruptcy. Schmitz bought 375,000 euros in the company's shares — and then announced he was preparing to invest an additional 50 million Euros. The news hit the market, and the stock price of LetsBuyIt surged. Schmitz cashed out, making a profit of €1.5 million.

Reductionist. He is a 'felon' because he hosted a service that was used heavily for piracy. Not because he was robbing banks or shooting people.

I have no idea what this is about, can you explain?

EDIT: Oh it wasn't that hard to find

Is.. is Dropbox.. pirating user files????

In 99% of cases I have seen, people pick their OS because it came preinstalled

The steps are surely better than a politically correct muddy ass.

Can you post your grub.cfg?

It's mechanical, so each atom is pushing against the ones immediately next to it, and so on, until other end moves.

It would be interesting to work out how much a metal bar the length of our solar system would compress when you push it..

You can't send information with entangled particles. You just learn the state of the other particle by inference when you observe the first particle.

The kernel of the Fix!

Yeah, metal as fuck WiFi regressions!
