400 million? How many were tricked?
Helpful information: "The tally of Windows sales does not decrease when I replace Windows with Linux"
From the Slashdot story: "According to latest figures provided by Microsoft, Windows 10 is running on over 400 million devices." How many of those were people who were tricked into accepting an "upgrade"?

Windows 10 is not mainly an OS, it is SPYWARE.

CPU without management engine
The article mentions a Beaglebone Black as "open source" - does this lack the management engine that is commonly included with ARM processors?
The only open/modern CPU that I know of that lacks a management engine is the SPARC T2.

Re:So what?
Looks like I'm slightly wrong. Some technology companies do make things in the U.S, although it's likely that the components are made overseas, who really knows?
Who is manufacturing in America?. Note that there aren't any consumer electronics manufacturers on the list.

Re:Remind me
Script kiddies didn't do this shit.
Level 3 found it to be a configuration issue this time and it's probably not too dissimilar from the issue reported in early October '16.

Either the summary was poorly written, the source of the problem would be a key info to put in the summary, or the article was updated after the Slashdot thread was created.

Who can show the most eloquent dis-respect?
I suggest we have a friendly competition to show who can show the most eloquent disrespect of Microsoft's idea. I like your "... its perceived advantages over Co-operation..." However, here is my entry in the competition: Quote from the story linked by Slashdot: "...it's the sort of gag..." (2016-10-29, 13:14 PDT)
Definition: gag: choke or retch. Synonyms: retch, heave, dry-heave.
So, the Microsoft Surface Tablet is a "gag" of a tablet? Was the writer of that article unconsciously showing his disrespect?
Microsoft Windows 10 is a "gag" of an operating system? From a Network World article: Windows 10 is possibly the worst spyware ever made. Quote: "Buried in the service agreement is permission to poke through everything on your PC." Windows 10 is now "Gag OS"? -
Microsoft is an unregulated, abusive monopoly.
Another company that should be the target of an anti-trust investigation: Microsoft. Windows 10 is possibly the worst spyware ever made. Quote: "Buried in the service agreement is permission to poke through everything on your PC."
People who don't want to pay 3 times more for a computer buy PCs rather than Apple computers. The U.S. government should act to prevent abuse of its citizens. -
Re: Considering they fail at nearly sixty times...

VeraCrypt is sponsored by Microsoft?
VeraCrypt is hosted on a Microsoft web site: VeraCrypt at codeplex.com.
That scares me. Consider this Network World article: Windows 10 is possibly the worst spyware ever made. Quote: "Buried in the service agreement is permission to poke through everything on your PC." -
Re:Product placement
I'm going to guess that those who complain about them don't (or even can't) distinguish crashes or freezes from connectivity issues. This isn't really a new story, as these sorts of glitches have been happening on occasion since being introduced. Given that these things obviously rely on wireless info feeds, and (as you indicated) that such wireless or communication systems fail in stadiums on occasion, I'm not sure I'd be so quick to blame the hardware or software.
I've seen that, as an MMO developer, whenever an ISP has a problem, people immediately blame the developer for whatever lag or disconnectivity they're experiencing. I think it's human nature to blame the software or hardware sitting in front of them rather than some invisible infrastructure sitting in-between.
I'd agree though, that this is something that Microsoft should have considered. It was risky to push something like this when there was a chance for very public and visible failures like that, even if it's not necessarily Microsoft's fault. Moreover, I really dislike the NFL pushing tools like this on the teams. They should have an opportunity to use their choice of technology when it comes to tools used in course of the game (within reasonable limits, of course). This is nothing like "official coffee of the NFL". This is a tool that can actually make an impact on the game if it succeeds or fails.

Re:What happens, when a gag order is violated?
First, Google has been released from the gag order on this NSL, so as I understand it Google could publish the letter now with no penalty.
Second, the constitutionality of these gag orders has been seriously challenged, so if Google was willing a fight they could probably publish any NSL they wished. Gag orders have historically been the purview of courts, and judges take a dim view of other people doing their job for them.
Third, it's safe to assume Google tracks revisions to their pages, so yes, they would soon know who made the 'mistake'. Also, a letter like this should be shared with extremely few people within the company, so it shouldn't be hard to follow the chain until suspicious activity is found. Punishment for this sort of mishandling would be limited to a fine, however, so the FBI would go after Google's deep pockets rather than try to pin the crime on an individual. The employee should be safe from criminal charges, though not, presumably, from Google discipline.

Management Engine
Both Intel and [most of the] ARM [community] are guilty of bundling opaque processor controls, and the i386/ARM architectures cannot be trusted as the opaque components have unrestricted access to networking, memory, and i/o.
It appears that the best "open" CPU architecture is the decade-old SPARC T2 - the full Verilog source for the CPU is provided, and there is no "management engine."
Unfortunately, no "Raspberry Pi" or otherwise reduced form-factor board is available on the market at this time. If you want to run a SPARC T2, you will likely have to purchase a used Netra server.

Re:If only there were a decentralized network
I think the point is that the internet is becoming less distributed. Everybody putting their web sites up on virtual machines in "the cloud" means that there are 2 or 3 entities who are responsible for a very large number of websites. Even if they use multiple datacenters, they are all interconnected in the case where if 1 fails, other datacenters can take over, but sometimes this has even more disasterous effects where a chain reaction takes down an even bigger part of the network.
Some people are taking this to an extreme and just doing things that don't make a lot of sense. Using Google's version of certain javascript libraries comes to mind. Sure, Google isn't very likely to go down, but it's kind of a bad idea to rely on some third party for something that you could easily host yourself all in the name of shaving a few milliseconds off the page load time.

Re:There are 5 trillion /56 blocks

Re:Where's the anti-trust and RICO action?
With the entire history of Microsoft, RICO applies, because you can point out continual willful violations of the law for profit and flouting courts, plus tax evasion, etc.
From the above link:
So people on the Internet use "RICO" to sound tough. Do lawyers overuse it too?
Oh hell yes. And judges hate it. It's overcomplicated and most of the time it adds nothing to the case.
It's so overused — especially by crazy pro se plaintiffs — and so needless that a lot of federal judges have special RICO orders they issue in RICO cases demanding that the plaintiff explain, in painful detail, why they think they have a RICO claim. Like this one, for instance. Judges issue them automatically as soon as a RICO case hits their docket to gather information to dismiss the case because it's not fucking RICO you idiot.
Back to your nonsense though...
You must not be a bright lawyer if you can't piece shit together like this.
I never said I'm a lawyer.
If it was so easy to piece all of this together under RICO... you'd think someone, somewhere who has been injured by Microsoft due to racketeering would be able to find a bright lawyer who would bring a successful civil suit against them under RICO.
I'm seeing a settlement from a MS & Best Buy as defendants suit regarding unclear terms regarding MSN service from 99-04 which started out with a claim of RICO... yet still no legal findings to support an assertion under RICO yet, odd that?
I wonder what the lawyers & courts who have made such claims over the years kept failing? Not enough money? Surely there is a Peter Thiel who could be convinced to bankroll such a case... if they thought there was a case... right?

Re:The "response" should be an indictment.
China seems to be well ahead of the US on the regulating encryption front, so I don't think that China will be ahead in terms of the general populous using encryption that can't be broken (excluding governments, of course). This article indicates that a lot of Chinese firms don't use encryption in China at all to avoid having to deal with giving the government keys. They also mandate usual encryption algorithms (SMS4 comes to mind) which are presumably selected because they can be broken.

Re:IPv6 is a failed technology
I would not discount the possibility of a properly backward compatible variant of IPv4 emerging, to address the very real needs of popular web servers that have no economically viable choice other than maintaining compatibility with IPv4 far into the future.
There is no possibility for a "properly backward compatible variant of IPv4." Any change to the protocol in which the goal is to increase the address space, which is the mean impetus for all of this, required a re-write which means no backward compatibility.
Vint Cerf, the "father of the Internet," had this to say about the decision to go with a 32-bit address space for IPv4. "It's enough to do an experiment," he said. "The problem is the experiment never ended."
http://www.networkworld.com/ar...
I really don't understand this irrational fear of IPv6. It's just a frigg'n protocol. For most people they will plug in their network gear and it will just work. Just like it always has...just as my current dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 network currently does. I did't have to do anything when my ISP enabled native IPv6. It just started working.

Re:Confirmed
Microsoft certainly wants you to use cloud login, but it's not required. Granted they don't make it easy, but during install there is link to click to tell it to use a local username and password only. And you can decouple your login from your cloud login as well after the fact.

Re:Pointless law
I have never said I do it all the time, just that, like you, I have.
I used to be a field technician and would use my phone while driving every day.
I could, but I don't.
Sounds like a regular and ongoing thing to me.
Here's a tip: people on the internet don't know you, they only know what you post and most don't read very carefully. Speak plainly and stick to the point. Use paragraphs when appropriate.And regardless of the problem, the fact remains that these laws simply make it worse not better; which was my entire point.
If personal responsibility was no issue, I might be inclined to agree with you. As it is, you sound like you're trying to assign blame to someone else; in this case "it's not my fault that I am distracted in the car, the government shouldn't have MADE me look in my lap." I claim that the irresponsible drivers aren't being MADE to do anything, they either think they're not doing anything dangerous, they don't care, or they're just not thinking about the danger they're putting other people in. The fact is that we're simply not good at multitasking, and the comparison between texting while driving and drunk driving is well-earned.
Now I'm no expert, so I did a quick search. It looks like this was probably the earliest study into this issue, which supports your claim. There is more discussion about that study though, and a later study seems to contradict it.Now that you've managed to have your little emotional outburst to my admission I have texted and drive before, perhaps you can argue on that point, or do you have nothing to offer other than anecdotes and hyperbole?
First you offered anecdotes about how your own driving changed after the passing of this law, expressed anger at the size of the fine, and suggested applying existing laws about careless driving; all without any comment regarding the actual danger of distracted driving. Your entire first post comes off as an indignant rant about a law you disagree with.
Then you blithely admitted that you continue to drive in a dangerous (your word, not mine) manner. You claimed "Everyone is still doing this. Everyone."
Now you claim the problem is with irresponsible drivers and hint that you're not part of the problem, and you try to shift the burden of proof to me, when you've given no arguments of substance yourself.
I'm touchy on this issue because it's personal to me. I'm not upset at you for your "admission [you] have texted and drive before"; I'm upset because you switched to a "much more dangerous" activity and made no indication that you are give a damn about the people you are putting in very real danger. As long as motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death, some kind of effort must be made to improve the situation; people must be held accountable for their actions; ergo, punish those who needlessly endanger others. If you have some better solution please present it, the world will thank you. -

Cisco can blame someone else...
Nuova Systems developed the Nexus switches (for cisco) and then Cisco bought the company. The Nexus 3000 is also listed as using more off-the-shelf merchant silicon. So maybe the just used the reference code that came with the cheaper chips? In the end it's still Cisco's responsibility to secure the systems they sell no matter where the stuff came from. This is not the first time cisco took over another company's work...

Re:my submission was plagiarised.
my words were stolen to promote a poorly written substitute to the story that i quoted and that i intended to share. if the plagiarist wanted to promote a different story, then that person should never have used MY NAME nor MY WORDS to do so. this bait-and-switch plagiarism should not be allowed to stand on this, or any, reputable site.
First off, calm down. Bait and switch - I do not think it means what I think you think it means. And given that the folks who make those decisions have been catching a load of bad feedback from references to Forbes.com, they did think your story was interesting enough to search out an alternative link.

Re:A good thing?
You pointed out that all the apple articles were only from non-approved sources, so i was just pointing out that the malware from this article is also installed from non-approved sources. i didn't mention anything saying android hadn't had any other malware infections.
you want only app store apps for apple? how about this one
and here is a proof of concept showing that apple isn't immune.
BTW, that took exactly ONE SECOND of Google-ing.
Research, THEN Post. Otherwise prepare to be outed as the pompous ass you are.
1. I didn't say the Articles were from "non-approved sources". Rather that the Software-containing-Malware was from sources other than the iOS App Store.
2. Actually, you DID state quite clearly that "it should also be pointed out that this android malware also only comes from non-approved channels". So I'm not sure what you are talking about with "i didn't mention anything saying android hadn't had any other malware infections." Is English a second-language for you; or are you just illiterate?
3. The "Find and Call" App WAS apparently actually a Trojan that affected both iOS and Android, I will give you that. However, it was NOT part of the original examples that I argued-against; so it constitutes a "moving of the goalposts". Also, you fail to mention that Apple not only pulled the Dev's credentials; but also modified iOS so that that type of App cannot work in the background to steal personal information. So ultimately, the system still worked. As I said, I NEVER said iOS was IMMUNE; just that the examples given were not legit examples of "Malware from Approved Sources" (in this case, the iOS App Store). That remains a true statement, sorry!
4. While the "Jekyll" App may have actually worked in a real-world application (and no, a Proof-of-Concept is not "Real-World"), there are three things that make your inclusion of this a strawman: a. It was not in the original "List", and thus constitutes a moving of the goalposts.b. It was never actually "In the Wild".
c. I NEVER said that iOS was IMMUNE; rather, again, I simply stated that the four EXAMPLES in the original post were not scenarios for people using Apps from the iOS App Store with non-jailbroken phones (a point which you haven't actually rebutted).
So, after your EXHAUSTIVE search, we have a sum-total of ONE legit Trojan from 2012 (which fortunately doesn't seem to have targeted the U.S.A.), and one possible Proof-of-Concept in 2013. Not 100% perfect; but the difference between a typical iOS user's exposure to Malware vs. a typical Android user is both striking and utterly undeniable.
Again, wanna compare that track-record to Android, even from the Play Store? -
Re:A good thing?
You pointed out that all the apple articles were only from non-approved sources, so i was just pointing out that the malware from this article is also installed from non-approved sources. i didn't mention anything saying android hadn't had any other malware infections.
you want only app store apps for apple? how about this one
and here is a proof of concept showing that apple isn't immune.
BTW, that took exactly ONE SECOND of Google-ing.
Research, THEN Post. Otherwise prepare to be outed as the pompous ass you are.

Amazon spyware is off by default
Canonical has deals with Amazon
Ubuntu Unity is no longer defaulting to Amazon integration. Furthermore, Xubuntu avoids all this and is only a sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop away.
