Last time I called Verizon they asked me which operating system I was using. I replied Linux Mint and the woman didn't understand me. Her reply was. What version of Windows are you using? This time she asked what form of virus protection I would be using and I had to explain to her that there are no viruses that exist for Linux and that I didn't need any.
I did download virtual box and windows xp just so I could view netflix only to find out that my account had expired. Not sure why they haven't written a program to allow it to run on Linux. Apparently they take advantage of the spyware in windows to make sure you aren't trying to pirate anything from them. Funny because they have driven me to pirate bay and I no longer need their services. I only use netflix to browse for movie titles anymore.
I got another warning from verizon of someone accusing me of copyright violations. I think it's from accidentally downloading the tracker files in the torrents.
Funny nobody gave me any warning that the files I was downloading were allegedly copyrighted. How is a person to tell without actually downloading the file?
