New plastic caps on drinks

The new plastic caps on drinks (sodas etc) are a disaster.

The person that designed it, did not take account of the consumer´s comfort.
I claim my following idea as original and I shall work on to copyright it when I can.

Instead of using the two attachments on the cap, only one attachment with a length of about 2cm (about an inch) or a close variable to this length, can be used. Of course it could be wider, just like the plastic rim on the bottle, so it would not detach easily and it would be easier to handle with the finger.

With this length of the attachment, the consumer does not suffer drinking from the bottle, nor has to cut out the attachment in order to drink. Also it is easier to pour the liquid to the glass or any other container since you are not forced to check the direction of the flow that currently is getting in the way when you try to pour out of the bottle. Its easier to handle, even if you have to use the finger to hold it close to the bottle.

The current design does not even allow that. If you want to be trouble free you have to cut it off and it beats the purpose of using that contraption.

Internet browsers using Linux

 I was trying to "cover my tracks" and secure my data surfing on the net. Firejail is my default since all plugins like noscript, webRTC, ublock, privacy badger and DDG privacy essentials do not seem to do enough to protect me on their own :-)

I got a report from eff.org running the fingerprint check

Simple ... if there is 1 in every 7.75 browsers reporting Linux x86_64 as their running platform the percentage running Linux in the world is 12,90% not just 1%-2% that major organizations report as linux user base. Not to mention the servers that are the vast majority.

Need to be more scientific ? Nope. I´m happy as a clam

Back to fortify my pc although its a lost cause since "Do not Track" is not honored anyway (just an example)

Microsoft and windows 10 knows my password

Till now I thought that using a password my pc was pretty safe (I know how to bypass with a live cd) from third party access. Now that I tried to share my printers and asked me explicitly fro IPv6 and the keylogger to ''improve my experience'' I am realizing that I do not own my windows 10 pc, nor the data that I save into it. Also using my contacts to connect to my friends network is not what I would call, ''a safe system''.

Its big brother everywhere. From an iso 27001 point of view the systems running win10 should be banned from secure installations and as a conscious father I should not allow my kids to use it. That cloud thing looks interesting, but I would never use it since everyone that can put one+one together the security holes are huge no matter what the technology behind it.

They dont care how many people get access to your data, as long as they have them too.

All systems go for barebone linux.... if you catch my drift.

H εφορία στις εσχατες αυτες ημερες

H εφορία στις εσχατες αυτες ημερες που διανυουμε «κανει την δουλεια της».

Η τραπεζα μολις μου εστειλε ενα SMS με το οποιο μου προτεινει να πληρωσω την εφορια μου με την πιστωτικη μου καρτα.

Δηλαδη(ς) να δανειστω για να πληρωσω. Η εφορια με φορολογει -κατα το συνταγμα- συμφωνα με τις δυναμεις μου, ητοι εχω τα χρηματα να τους πληρωσω καθως τα εχω κερδισει και εισπραξει. Θεωρεῖ !

Η ζω στην απολυτη αντισυνταγματικοτητα οπου με φορολογουν για περισσοτερο απο τις δυναμεις μου και πρεπει να δανειστω ή ξαφνικα την τελευταια 3-4τια εχω χασει τον ελεγχο και ξοδευω περοσσοτερα απο οσα βγαζω. Αν ξοδευαμε ολοι οι Ελληνες πολιτες περισσοτερα απο οσα εισπραττουμε τα τελευταια χρονια η αγορα θα ειχε ανοδο και δεν θα ειχαμε αποπληθωρισμο και υφεση. Οταν ομως οι παντες που γνωριζω εχουν σταματησει να ξοδευουν γιατι δεν εχουν, μαλλον το κρατος αντισυνταγματικα και απολυτως παρανομα με γενοκτωνει και αφανιζει (προσπαθει τουλαχιστον).

Μεγαλυτερη αποδειξη σε δικαστηριο οτι παιρνεις δανειο για να πληρωσεις φορους, οχι μονο εσυ αλλα και ολοι οι φορολογουμενοι πολιτες, πως οι φοροι αυτοι ειναι παρανομοι κατα το συνταγμα μας ακομα και κατα το διεθνες και ανθρωπιστικο δικαιο, δεν νομιζω οτι υπαρχει.

Η συγκυβερνηση και οι βουλευτες που "σιγονταρουν" την πολιτικη αυτη ειναι χωρις ελαφρυντικα υπευθυνοι για την καταστροφη της χωρας και την γενοκτωνια των πολιτων.

Δεν εχουμε ουτε κρατος, ουτε κυβερνηση και αριστεροκουμμουνι (χρησιμος ηληθιος) δεν θα γινω ποτε στην ζωη μου.

The IRS emploees claim that they just 'do as ordered'.

The bank just sent me an SMS with which they offer me to pay my taxes using  my credit card.

Meaning to borrow money  to pay taxes.  Under  Constitutional directives, I pay taxes according to my potential, that is to have the money to pay them as of what I have earned and received. In Theory!

I eithe live in absolute Unconstitutionality and taxed for more than my strength and have to borrow or suddenly the last 3-4 years I have lost control and spend much from what I earned. As if ll Greek citizens spent more than earned in the recent years the market will rise and had not we would have deflation and recession. But when everyone you know have stopped spending because they do not have money, the rule is that unconstitutionally and illegally they absolutely genocide and wreck (at least trying) the citizens.

The Greatest evidence in court is that all citizens get a loan to pay taxes, is that the tax is illegal under our Constitution even in the international and humanitarian law, could not be more obvious than that.

The coalition and the Members "going along" the policy is without extenuating circumstances responsible for the destruction of the country and genocide.

We have neither a state nor government and lefty-commnunist (useful idiot) I will never be in my life.

IRS в последние несколько дней истечении 'делать работу ".

Банк только что прислал мне СМС с которой я предложил платить суперинтендант мне мою кредитную карту.

Т.е. (ы) брать взаймы, чтобы заплатить. Руководитель с налогоплательщика в соответствии с Конституцией, в соответствии с моим потенциалом, т.е. имеют денег, чтобы заплатить их как я заработал и получил. Теория!

Живут в условиях абсолютной где с неконституционности налога для больше, чем моя сила и должны заимствовать или внезапно последний 3-4tia я потерял контроль и провести perossotera от того, что я послал. Если вы проводите все граждане Греции больше, чем собирает в последние годы рынок будет расти и не мы должны были бы дефляцию и рецессию. Но когда все вы знаете, прекратили потратить, потому что у них есть, скорее правилом неконституционно и незаконно с абсолютно genoktonei и крушения (по крайней мере пытается).

Величайший доказательств в суде, что они получают кредит по уплате налогов, а не только NHS, но и все налогоплательщики, что налог является незаконным согласно нашей Конституции даже в международного и гуманитарного права, нет никакой очевидной.

Коалиция и Пользователи "sigontaroun" политика без смягчающих обстоятельств, ответственных за разрушение страны и genoktonia гражданского.

У нас нет ни государства, ни правительство и aristerokoummouni (полезные ilithios) Я никогда не будет в моей жизни.

gnome 3 controversy? no ! it just stinks. (upd)

Lets just face it. You take functionality oout of the user.
It like M$. Turning your system to an appliance. Windows is not an OS no matter how much M$ wants you to say so. Its an application running over your hardware.
Gnome and the junk known as Unity are doing the same thing. Taking control from the user. Dont argue that I still have the shell/ command line. We used windows to push productivity and now youŕe sending it to a stand still. I want my printer controls back where I had complete control over the printer. I want fast clicks and not bouncing my mouse around the desktop to get various screens. Its not the definitions or the windows that I dont like. Its tha apps that are missing. Just try to change the keyboard controls and its a project. I want my sensors right where I can see them at all times. I want to be able to tell -in a blink- that there is net traffic or my disk is reading something. I want to see the system temps.
I am an admin and a security advisor. You are stripping me off tools.
Its mate, cinnamon or xubuntu my only future ? Still ! Why did you have to destroy something that matured and run fine to great? I keep this machine on 10.04 just for the functionality of gnome 2 with my cube and etc effects. Those desktops are just the best.
I know that the youngsters see systems as apps. They are not. Get some real engineers to do the job. You are not. The best thing I can think of you is that you are communists of the soviet era, taking over the control for the people.

No matter how you try, those tablet looking apps, are just too NWO. (android too). At least AQUA is not that bad yet but I can see it comming. At that point Iĺl trash the macs. The experiment of IOS worked but its failing in real people.

(upd) yes, I did an install of xubuntu-desktop and I got my system back. I can create my own launchers  and customized the desktop the way I wanted and not the way YOU believe that it should be.

important example. I launch chromium in incognito. To create a menu item with gnome3 it was a project and not very well defined. In xfce its just a click and drag, away. In case that you have not noticed, I am a very experienced user so dont giveme crap about the features in gnome3.
If MATE was a bit better (or gets there in the future, I'll definately give it a spin)

microsoft, how low can you get

The day started with my wife nagging that the computer was stuck.
After about an hour, my clients started calling me with the same symptoms.

Apparently microsoft push a malfunctionware through the security essentials to prevent the system running and forcing me to upgrade  LOL !

It is costing companies that did not upgrade to vista (!) or the others hundreds and thousands of man hours stalling their systems like that.

I am promising you. All these people that are in XP windows environment shall move to Linux and access windows applications with RDP the cheap solution. Not you M$ cals and whatever licensing.

I also promise you that Libreofiice is the de facto office suite.

I think we had enough of bullshit software and idiots at the marketing dtp.

really microsoft, HOW LOW CAN YOU GET with my wifeś pc at least.
would you like to buy her a new one? sorry, weĺl get nothing from you, and if intel persists, weĺl get AMD.

my daughters were semi linux. now theyĺl be teaching their classmates ubuntu (and at somepoint maybe gentoo)

heartbleed of a heartbeat and typical C.S. programmers

I think I`ve had enough of it. The report says that the programmers failed the risk analysis and a simple byte count forces us to change all our online passwords. Also, a few years ago I was force to change my password on ubuntu forums, since their commercial(!) forum platform was compromized. Its still a problem to me cause Iḿ confusing the new pass with the old one and their variations.
Why did they screw up that big? Its because they hold a computer science major.
Programming -despite common believe- is not for everyone. If you just pick a book for a language e.g. c++ for idiots, you can put the lines of code together but that does not make you a programmer. Although you`ll  be telling your frends that you are. Programming is a special place in the braine thats called logic. You have to break everylittle thing of every aspect in tiny little blocks (like the molecules and atoms, even protons and neutrons or sometimes quarks) and build your software from there up.
Nowdays programming is done with the method of mongollian clusterfuck from people that are nowhere near the hardware and the operating system. Nobody cares about the hardware and they have no idea how the operating system affects their programm or performance. Design analysis is done at the level of molecules, whereas the heartbleed is at the level of atoms (as mentioned above) and at this point people use libraries. I hate using libraries. I understand that is cost effective, but you have to review the source before using it.
Anyway our problem was error checking. My programs (before I turn to systems and give up programming) were eg 30 lines of code, that did the job and then I would add another 120 for error checking. Design and analysis should have caught that. Its such a typical mistake that should never have happen. It did. And they want me to change my online passwords.
Its another reason I do not trust for me or my clients online/ on-the-net services. I am pure linux on my machines (desktop and servers) since 2008. I shall not switch back. But I wish that the programmers be engineers -at heart- and control the cs applicationist that are infesting the programming.

Its not the heartbleed and their team, Its just the excuse for this post.
Iḿ just sick and tired all these years, fighting buffer overflows and non existing error checking that do make my daily life miserable and for some people disasterous. I found a listing at the undernet the other day, of someone selling hundreds of certified paypal accounts. Who got them and how? Someone is responcible for that. 99% is malware from an M$ machine. I can go as far as ban M$ from consumer machines until ´they become ready for use by the public´ cause untill now they are not. And thats proven. If you must use Unix or OS2 or VMS and be safe, then thats what we  must do.

But please, when you program, dont just throw code in there. Do it right.


ps needs a lot more pages to describe all that I mean, but its sunny and Iḿ going by the beach for coffee with friends.
