When I first tried Office 2007 it took a lot of frustrating time figuring out where all of the features were located. It is laid out much differently than previous versions of office. When the “pointy-haired bosses” require deadlines to be met you don’t have time to learn where everything is. This is where UBitMenu comes in, it places the classic 2003 menu in as a new ribbon. It will add the Classic Menu to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007....

Once privileges are escalated, they can do all sorts of things on a system. Creating an SSH key is just one of many actions an attacker can take when exploiting the vulnerability....

If you want to use the tool to download your entire Humble Bundle library to make sure the games are your for the long haul (who knows if the company will make any other changes to its policies regarding games), you can download the script from its GitHub.

Your Connection Is (Probably) Asymmetrical Most home internet connections are asymmetrical. This means that the download speed is different from the upload speed. In other words, the rate at which you can send information is different from the rate at which you can receive it. This asymmetry is almost always in favor of download speed, so you might have 500Mbps of peak download speed, but only 50Mbps of upload speed. There’s a good chance that when you chose your internet plan, you didn’t pay as much attention to the second number that denotes upload speed....
