Yes it comes up in the sys tray for a Java update. And you are still just a
troll who doesn't know what he is talking about.

Leythos, there are many reasons that Windows machines get attacked alot
more than linux machines. Most windows users are more clueless, there
are more of them, there are more viruses/nasties for windows, etc. How
does that equate to "anti-MS spew"?

There are plenty of programs that you can install on Ubuntu that will not be
updated automatically.. just as there are for windows.
It is not an issue with either OS.

Coming back to troll this group just shows how sick you are. You just can't
help yourself.
Get yourself some mental help you need it.

No - you are just dense. You have been told by lots of people that Ubuntu
evangalism isn't wanted here. You just keep spewing your marketing hype
regarding the TOY OS that nobody exploits! It gets tiresome, day after day,
Ubuntu is life....Ubuntu is the wave of the future. It is so far in the
future that most of us here will not give a RATS ASS if Ubuntu overtakes
Microsoft because we won't be using computers by then!

Go take another vacation.

In a pop up in the sys tray.
If yours doesn't and you have not disabled it then it is broken.

I see the same thing here leythos, however, this does not equate to
automagically downloading and installing the updates as you claimed it
did just like windows updates. Java 'autoupdate' just checks and
notifies you of updates. That's it.

Been using Windows for decades, and I'm not being asked to prove I'm not
a thief ever. Like many other products I enter a license key and go on
my merry way, day in, day out, never being asked to prove anything about
ownership, just working and playing....

His issue is slanted by hate, asking to provide proof of purchase is
common in the industry for a lot of non-free software.

No, his belief is just a belief/opinion. While activation is true, it's
not calling anyone a thief and it's not limited to MS - even apple asks
for licensing for their products...

He's computing equivalent of a Jehovah Witless
foot in the door merchant who won't take
"no thanks, I'm not interested" for an answer
and is quite happy to make other peoples life
a misery such is his fanaticism, conceit,
fear and loathing..

He's exactly the same on
alt.religion.buddhism.nichiren.

That reminds me of my College days. Our house was down the street from the
Jehova Witless church and they use to come by and bug us each Sunday
morning. We were sleeping in, trying to get over our hangovers and when
they knocked on the door, three of us answered in our robes. When we saw it
was the Witless, we opened our robes. They didn't bother us again !

Actually I was a little mean comparing the Witlesses to Alias.

I don't ever recall them threatning violence to those
who disagreed and just wanted to get on with their own
lives.
