Says Jim Tripeson.... the one who feels as though he is above his own law. Steven Seagal would light you up, boy.

I do not mind; i knew i was clueless; my question was an obvious indicator.

Looks like you know nothing about landlord mentality stupidity either.

There is a threshold of usage to make a new word into an "official" word. Congratulations, you just provided the usage that bumped it over the threshold. :)

Get it quick before he declares bankruptcy... again.

Yup, seems to work for every other word - ad absurdum. Have you been bibled, or carred or buildinged lately ?

Why do we call them "buildings", when they're clearly done, and not "builts"? :-)

Just go away, Nymbecile. Don't you know when you're not wanted?

A fairly apt description of you, AlwaysWrong.

While at the same time, he tells those attending his "press conferences" that he makes $400M a year.

Idiots! A numeric keypad includes a ZERO key. Now think about the average soldier's IQ and think about why your suggestion would fail. (even with the smarter ones)

Now think about why the chosen term is absolutely succinct with reference to its intended function. AND is spelled out fully.

Maybe you'll actually get a clue.

Think "assembleage".

Do we call a ship a shippage? Or a shipping?

Actually, they are more properly referred to as a "structure", and that IS what nearly all governments and their agencies refer to them as.

In this case, and it's not uncommon, it's a technical term (jargon) that has a very specific meaning. It doesn't just mean write zeros to the key, rather do it in a cryptographically sound manner. In our case, after writing all zeros (to wipe the keys as quickly as possible), but then writing patterns of '1's and '0's to make sure there was no residual that could be read.

Thank G_D!

Bankrupt WRT $1,000M or so..

The manufacturer of the modular transmitter can make modifications. The manufacturer of the device that contains the modular transmitter is not meant to be able to.

Some devices don't use modular transmitters. For example, the WIFI routers I own have the transmitter circuitry on the same chip as the processor, and the entire device is certified as a whole. If the new rules purported to require that the manufacturer of the device lock it down to prevent software changes, then that would be a concern, but the new rules do not go that far, it seems to me.

Not necessarily, though if they do, *they* have to pass the certs.

If that's true, the rules are pretty meaningless (not that government would ever do stupid things).

There's a good-looking script on Github for fixing the Win7/8 telemetry problem (for the moment at least). It seems pretty thorough, but of course there are no guarantees of perfection.

Do make a system restore point and burn a repair disc first!

You have actually been able to do that? I know that there is _supposed_ to be a system restore point, but they have never existed (Win2K, WinXP, Win7) and i do not know how to create one (much less how to get to it if it exists).

And so-called "repair" disks (for anything) have NEVER been useful; t*ts on a boar hog are more useful.
