Sitatet under er tatt ut av sammenhengen, men det er likevel en viss sannhet i de utvalgte ordene. Problemet er ikke unikt for Microsoft-systemer. … likegyldighet er et problem for Microsoft, fordi dette er brukere som ikke klarer å holde maskinen sin oppdatert og som får installert all slags malware. Så blir de sinte og […]

Upgrading them can fail because texlive-base depends on tex-kpathsea, and the new ex-kpathsea tries to install files which were installed by the old texlive-base.

If AutoCAD 2015 refuse to install, try to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and try to reinstall AutoCAD 2015.

At work we received a Fluke Networks LinkRunner AT 2000 network analyzer this week. The report generator in the Fluke Networks LinkRunner AT Manager v1.0.9.8 contains a minor flaw.
