that debate again?
what functionality is provided by photoshop and msoffice which cannot be done with gimp and open|star-office?
It doesn't sound to me that you have spent much time using and comparing both. Not only are there many differences in features but some of these open source products are buggy and use too many system resources. I periodically download and test thunderbird/open/star/libre office because I would really love to use them over MS Office. But they aren't anywhere near as good. Gimp has come a very long way and isn't half bad but Photoshop is miles ahead in its features and abilities. Lets be honest with ourselves here and acknowledge that while there are some amazing pieces of open source software (I.E.. VLC) , there are some horrific ones as well. Some people simply need to get the work done efficiently and need to use the right tools to do so rather than demanding everything they touch is open source. i dont demand that anything is opensource. i do have commercial software - even for linux. and i have spent much time using both... i was a windows dev (pensionated now) and used windows at work. but at home i use linux because for me it is easier to use and has more functionality. as i said: to really see the differences someone needs to use linux for more than a year. solely. its hard to switch and at first linux looks all complicated. but that changes after you have used it a long time. btw i know two professional photographers which use linux only. so i dont think the differences between gimp and photoshop are that big. but i dont use them so i cant say anything about it. i still think it boils down to comfort and "afraid of learning/changes" |

I have upgraded my laptop a few days back with some of my hot wallet files on it. I stumbled upon some article regarding the bugs and other unknown privacy issues that may access sensitive information to the user (such as data mining and backdoors). I reverted back to Windows 7 immediately and because I used Windows 10 for awhile with some files on it, is it possible that all of the information already stored in my computer had been mined? Just a thought.
I love many distros of linux and open source but this is not realistic to do for many people. Linux doesn't have the driver support that MS has and many programs that people need aren't available on linux. Open source alternatives fall short too. I.E... Gimp is not anywhere as good as photoshop and open/libre/star office is shit compared to MS office.
that only means that comfort is more important than privacy to you - which is fine. my privacy is very important to me. even if windows could print food for free i wouldnt use it... Not comfort primarily, but the functionality within these apps are what people see that's why they tend to use it over the other. that debate again? what functionality is provided by photoshop and msoffice which cannot be done with gimp and open|star-office? to be honest: i dont know photoshop nor gimp very well - but i used mso and staroffice very often (even used mso apis to automate customer-letters for a german bank). anyhow: linux requires learning. much learning. which takes time. once this time is spent linux people are more happy and have a better system (functionality wise) than win users. to provide an example which fits the topic: i dont want to check every ms update if i need to update my prevent phone-home capability apps. only thing are games. i have a win install for them. i'll update that to windows 10. but hey: only games... let ms see that i think there os is a console  |

With all this crazy control shit that Windows is trying to get, sooner or later I'll be using Linux only!
why not now? it takes a little time to get used to it, but when the switch is done you dont want to look back eg small things like removing/renaming files while using them has made my life easier - and thats just a very small example |

ha ha,
mate i will tell to start the work after when i put funds in escrow ok, and i have an escrow provider which i have done a deal with him in past (QuickSeller). I will use his escrow services.
I have not provided escrow services to you in the past, at least not from the account that you are posting from. Nor have I received any communication from you regarding putting funds in escrow for this project. It would probably be advisable to avoid downloading anything from this person (or anyone on here for that matter) unless you really know what you are doing in terms of being able to protect yourself from malware, and you should not take someone's word that something is "safe" thank you for confirming </thread> |

Format your hard drive & install linux distro such as ubuntu, debian or linux mint. You don't have to worry about your privacy anymore.
Or just use older windows version
true but some users are so used to using windows that they naturally would upgrade to version 10 if it is free. I have some older versions of windows in VM that I use from time to time but I dont think I will be upgrading to windows 10 anytime in the near future if ever. i wonder what bigger companies will do. i dont think they'll accept this new ms policy or are business version without spyware? |

thats what i do. i just need a windows install for some games (sadly wine doesnt support anything newer than dx9) it seems ms has lost any vision and is driven only by management nowadays (not that it was much better in the past. but atm they just fuck their customers) |

Just becareful since OP still new and He/she might be put something on the file.
You know that spamming malware happen yesterday ( and now with different method for spread out the malware )
Even you gonna use escrow doesn't mean you can attract me to download your " unknown" file
if he just wants to see us some ads on a page or generate some traffic on a site it would be ok. i hope he send me the links so i can check... atm i still think it is suspicious; but only because he contradicted himself by saying "windows is required" and "app requires windows" and "you dont need to install anything" |

i am glad that i am using raspberry pi to type this post.
the nearby is my really old PC, but they are so much better than upgrading the windows 10.
This is ridiculous, Windows is not storing logs and logs of forum post in a database somewhere, it just wouldn't make sense. They are looking for keywords for ads like google does when you use their browsers. There is far too much paranoia that you are using a slow arm pc instead of a standard computer. All a sys admin at microsoft needs to do is cherry pick the data collected from their enormous user base to find bitcoin (crypto) related passwords. Steal coins and there is 0 recourse for the owner of the coins (well, the original owner ) That doesn't change that you can turn off all of these settings and if your security is a large priority you should be investing an a hardware wallet anyways and none of this would be an issue. Because this software is closed source how do you know that if you "turn off" all of the appropriate settings for security/privacy that it is fully off and not logging your key strokes anyway? Do you have access to the Windows 10 source? If so please link me to it. you dont need sourcecode to verify if there is anything submitted to ms. a linux router with iptables -j LOG is enough. but the question is (and you are right with that) you need the source to see WHAT is transmitted. |

If you know any best software better than this you can do with it.
so its just a download? and its not required to install anything? if thats the case may i have the download links? i will use linux, but that shouldnt be a problem then. |

Please don't give any false statements here without knowing any thing on my topic. As i already said all personal computers and laptops will be safe. And i am ready to put the amount with in escrow also.
lol, you want us to install windows software and we should just believe that we are safe because you say so? hahaha Is sandboxie is a software which your system get slow working or any ?? Just install the sandboxie into your computer and you need to download using the sandboxie browser that it's. sandboxie will not get your system slow. mates, please don't fear about your personal computer's or laptop's here you will do work by using an virtual windows software. So there will not effects any viruses to your personal computer's or laptop's. please put down your skype id's here it is very hard to reply as i have an personal limit messages of 5 per hour. i am providing you an small video describes about sandboxie working. please check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTTXSj_EKUwas i said: for most virtualization software there are cracks which allow to break out of the env. why do you require sandboxie and wont let the user decide which vm to use? btw a simple download doesnt infect systems (ok except windows with icon preview, indexing service and/or virus scanner as possible entries) is sandboxie the ONLY software which is needed to install? i doubt it... |

he mean he want you to add one more independent OS into your PC, to prevent his ability of hacks.
there are software which allows you to run independent windows in the same PC.
i don't really know what that software is.
he stated otherwise. all virtualization software i am aware of runs with linux and windows (ms virualpc is win, mac and os/2 only). even android can emulate windows (ok its awefully slow) |

Virus total Link of your Files
You pay first or we have to download First
What types of files you will give to download .zip , .rar
Is these files Uploaded to some paid Sites?
and important question What is file Size - ?
the file size sometimes it will be 500 kb but mostly all files will be less than 1 mb. That is not a virus file again i am confirming you, and i already told that even through i am providing a safety. That is you will not download any files to your personal computer or laptop. You will download the files to virtual windows hard disk by using the software. So your personal computer or laptop always safe. Can we use mobile phone (android) to download those files ? You cannot use mobile phone the software only works on windows ok, granted.
can i delete the software easily once you finished your files?
i need to sure there would not be any hackers to hack/scam.
Yes the software easily removed and there is not cheap tricks like hack or scam. what are the download links for these files???
I will pm you the download link please check your pm and answer to my message. did you just say that we need to install windows software to download your files? i smell scam... folks.. use a vm to install it but be aware that most likely you'll have malware attacking your network or some kind of spam bot. virustotal does not detect anything btw edit: vm's can be attacked too. not sure how sophisticated his scam his |

That doesn't change that you can turn off all of these settings and if your security is a large priority you should be investing an a hardware wallet anyways and none of this would be an issue.
1) that doesnt help pc-newbs, which dont know this and just using defaults 2) tests have shown that there is still information submitted to ms - even if everything is turned off (but i am not sure what is transmitted in that case) imho any os should never contact its vendor. only if a user tells it to do it...and yes this includes automatic updates (at least for me). PC-Newbs probably aren't storing bitcoin on their computer and if they are newbs are highly susceptible to losing it. For your number two your right no OS should contact its vendor but we are more on the side of this is our product and let it be ours (this seems to be the bitcoin community as a whole) Software developers seem to be on the other side of this is ours and we are leasing it to you. well.. i am a developer... but my boss wants our software to talk home. so please dont blame us bitcoin is money. i know a few people who uses it and arent pc-experts. if much pc knowlegde would be needed to use it, it is a total fail (imho). at home i only use linux for various reasons. |

I wanna be on smooth's full time FUD team. He helped me out with some key technical issues I was having and I owe him one.
Is there like an internship, or what?
i am applying too. but i left the dash thread a long time ago. cant stand the hate there for pointing out obvious facts (i didnt say anything else back then) |

IMHO atm we see TC and risto playing with each other TC seems to have a margin buy order (14k again ) and most bids seems to be from risto's market making bot. very interesting atm |

Thanks for testing!
compiling, starting, converting and exiting works for me. will run it for a while and report any issues. |

Yah, if I was in Monero I would be buying AEON too.
One of the reasons for starting this thread was disgust at seeing his quiet takover of Aeon and building it up, knowing the Monero community is totally in the dark about this.
thats rude... why do you think monero community doesnt know anything? we arent dashers! |
