Well, Windows has had virus/malware scanning built in since Windows 7 (Windows Defender), and available as a free installer for XP/Vista (Microsoft Security Essentials). I just keep those up-to-date, since they're not as intrusive as most other solutions, which tend to kill your computer's …

I doubt they are going to incorporate anything new at this point. My understanding was that the point of Cubic's MIDI support was to play back MIDI files as high-quality digital audio, not pass them to some external MIDI handler. But I believe you are right - MIDI written for MT-32 will not sound …

Cubic Player? I'm in doubt if this thing is capable to produce MIDI output at all. It seems to me it's a softsynth rather. At least, the doc says only about GUS patches. Cubic Player indeed does not play MIDI files out of the box. It can play them if provided the GUS patches, probably the way the …

There has to be a reason that they are forcing updates To simplify their support procedures, no doubt. When everyone is updated to the same version, there are fewer configurations around, and debug is easier. As a support technician, it would be quite annoying to spend time trying to solve …

.... if you explicitly say "Yes, please share my WiFi password" That's not the problem. The problem is this: The other problem is that Wi-Fi Sense lets you share access to more networks than just your own. You can share access to any network that you got onto the old-fashioned way — by typing in …

Yes, but if the operating system you use installs a keylogger that is active by default, and has a clause in the user agreement that says that under certain circumstances they are allowed to shared and pass on everything on your hard drive, how exactly do you protect said data? By not using that …

Confidential data should be protected during input, storage and transfer, as well as keeping track where is it used and to whom it is accessible. Yes, but if the operating system you use installs a keylogger that is active by default, and has a clause in the user agreement that says that under …

And there's another problem with Starcraft. It has too much going on. I thought Heart Of The Swarm was already overcrowded with units, now with Legacy Of The Void, they introduced even more. Blizzard programmers are always trying to overcompensate by adding more to the game. What they don't get is …

Well, except the fines for speeding are much more reasonable and affordable, in most countries. Usually there is no criminal persecution and no chance of jail time, unless one, God forbid, actually kills someone while speeding. In certain countries (Finland, I think?), the fines for speeding are …

To me it dosnt matter how you obtain stuff, as long you have paid for it once. This way is logical to many, and until recent years it was accepted by the industry as well. Recently, however, the media companies are pushing towards criminalization of any act of duplication that is not through them. …

And indeed Hiren's BootCD in recent revisions added conspicuous disclaimers saying that the SW is arranged on the CD for convenience only, and that if you don't own a license to said software, you should not use it.

They can send you money. It won't appear as a "refund" but just "funds received", which means that it will reside in your Paypal account (instead of being refunded to whatever payment method you used originally), and will be subject to some fees.
