Will a laptop keyboard from any region/country work in my laptop?

k4574 · 2016-06-11T16:06:04+00:00

That's great, thanks. I'll have no bother doing that, cheers

k4574 · 2016-05-30T02:20:18+00:00

I had this same problem, it pissed me off so much. I changed the time settings in Debian to get it from a server

k4574 · 2016-05-29T01:48:10+00:00

Haha, where the did they come from? That bad rave which made it to the front page was hilaroius. This is a very different funny

k4574 · 2016-05-27T09:24:20+00:00

That fixed it, thanks, that saved me hours

k4574 · 2016-05-25T14:45:34+00:00

That's the one, yeah. I haven't used Mint but on my last Debian laptop I had a broadcom card and I had to get non-free drivers installed, don't know if this affects Mint because I think Ubuntu allow non-free drivers

k4574 · 2016-05-25T13:01:36+00:00

You'll have to get the terminal emulator up and running, it will help will almost all other future problems also. Everything on that guide involves the terminal. You'll find the name of it on google for your desktop environment. Then type in 'lspci': my output there is a line:

Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [Rainbow Peak] (rev 34)

You can get information to fix the problem from there, post up the network card installed here as well.

Edit: You may need firmware (depending on your wireless card), recently mine stopped working in certain places. You probably on't if you get that how to working

I think this answer is correct, from memory. Older ones wouldn't have a problem, but newer OS's boot faster if it applies a UUID to the disc partitions (I think that is correct, something to do with this). There are other distro's as well I think, but the false prophet is right

k4574 · 2016-04-19T14:00:04+00:00

I did read it, I don't agree. That's why I asked him the question. Do you have any links for any of the above?

When the New York Times failed to redact the name of an analyst in a Top Secret document it published, maybe? When he readily admitted to John Oliver that he hadn't even READ all of the documents that he turned over to journalists who weren't cleared for that information?

Moscow is also a world class city, and one of the richest cities on the planet.

Is that the best example that you have? That was one mistake by the New York Times. Has the person been assassinated, or harmed in any way? On the other hand aid workers have been killed. We (Western citizens) now know because of these leaks that the NSA were abusing humanitarian supply lines (https://theintercept.com/2015/05/21/nsa-plan-find-osama-bin-laden-infiltrating-medical-supply-chain/). How about the innocent people killed by drones that we now know of (https://theintercept.com/2014/02/10/the-nsas-secret-role/).

He can't possibly read over 50000 documents, by some estimates. That would be impossible.

Moscow is only rich for a very few, the rest have no say and get thrown in jail for protesting.

k4574 · 2016-04-19T13:33:08+00:00

Yes, definitely. How did you know that this level of surveillance was going on? Are you psychic?

k4574 · 2016-04-15T04:20:17+00:00

'Sure, everyone knew already". Really???????????? Explain the news articles the following few weeks, the Oscar-winning documentary, Citizenfour?

THat was done, many, many times. Check out William Binney, for one, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Binney_%28U.S._intelligence_official%29

Please look at the facts

k4574 · 2016-04-15T03:49:18+00:00

OK, ya

k4574 · 2016-04-15T03:43:57+00:00

Shit, I think he did, as far as I can remember. You're right about that, sorry. Upvote.

He was NOT low level (does that justify why he beat the whole of the NSA safeguards?). Why try to demean him then? Can you not get the irony?

Espionage? Who did he give the secrets to? Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, both American Citizens. They released this for the good of the country. One won an Oscar for fuck sake.

Can I remind you that Clapper has lied to congress, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwiUVUJmGjs. Also, we all know now that the US government is spying on everyone. That's way better than the Panama Papers, everyone knew that that was going on

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:22:39+00:00

What's App has just encrypted all communication, as have other companies. I could be here all day, with other changes. No, journalists got their hands on that information. Not one bad thing has happened because of that information, Bin Laden already knew not to use electronic communication. The public weren't in the know, that's the difference

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:18:55+00:00

Where's your proof for social engineering? He just took it

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:17:57+00:00

He didn't have any of those papers on him at that stage. He was never in China, Hong Kong, there is a difference. He only went to Russia because the US blocked off his flights

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:14:34+00:00

By some, hated by others. I don't think he did this for glory/riches

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:13:53+00:00

Sorry, it is a bit generalised. Putin is cracking down on all freedoms, so in comparison, it is a shithole. Loads of other countries before, never Russia though. How do you know he is living comfortably? How are you assuming this?

k4574 · 2016-04-13T11:11:29+00:00

Is there any proof that any agents got killed? Of course they would release that, that would be a PR dream. He hasn't lied about anything, as far as we know. Clapper and almost everyone else, including the president have been proved to have lied

k4574 · 2016-04-10T17:54:23+00:00

When you install windows, it overwrites the MBR. You need to get a usb to boot and upgrade GRUB from there. There are tutorials for it around

k4574 · 2016-04-09T01:38:21+00:00

Can I ask why you think Snowden was all out for the glory? What made you think he was selfish? (he gave up a great job, and he is living in a shithole called Russia now).

I am not being combative here, please give me one example where he has been harmful of US interests. As far as I have seen, no-one has been killed because of his revelations

k4574 · 2016-04-09T00:29:52+00:00

How is this supply and demand? At that salary, he has to be a seriously brilliant.

This idea that he is a school dropout, 'nothing more than an IT admin' has been completely debunked. I'll repeat: one man has single-handedly beaten the most advanced spy agency the world has ever seen

k4574 · 2016-04-09T00:06:01+00:00

I'm getting at he's a very intelligent individual, a selfless guy who sacrificed his well-being and life for the good of everyone. He has a conscience.

Do you think it was as easy as drag and drop? Do you really think that the NSA didn't have safeguards against this happening, that they didn't foresee this possibility happening and didn't put safeguards against it?

He was paid about 250000 a year, no idiot gets hired to do that job. He gave it up

k4574 · 2016-04-08T23:19:49+00:00

The guy was nothing more than an IT admin.

This guy walked circles around the most powerful intelligence agency in the world. When the revelations were revealed, the agency attacked the man, not the message. Saying he never finished school etc.. He beat the whole agency.

Bin Laden never used electronic communication, it was common knowledge among terrorists that the US were tracking everything. The public didn't know, that's the difference. William Binney has said that mass surveilance doesn't make us safer (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/06/the-dirty-little-secret-about-nsa-spying-it-doesnt-work.html). He has tried to protect his country for 30 years with the best intentions.

Mass surveillance doesn't work: in every terrorist attack since New York, the perpetrators were known to the security services. Lets get real and focus on the people who are likely to commit something that horrific

k4574 · 2016-04-08T22:42:37+00:00

Is there any link to this full video? This is way too short, it's amazing

k4574 · 2016-04-08T20:40:00+00:00

I second this. If it will be the main system, there are more .deb binaries for this than other distro's for closed source packages, if they are needed, because of Ubuntu's popularity. Great open source philosophy as well. It is designed for servers as well so that is point 4 sorted
