It takes an unhealthy dose of paranoia to click randomly on a link in a forum and think you're not supposed to be there, when there are no authentication checks along the way.
Ehh.. hello? Quicktime Pro is a commercial product that is specifically used to enable video authoring and editing. QuickTime is specifically a shared-resource media software library. Meanwhile, Adobe's software is one of the top video editing suites.
When Microsoft (whom everyone hates) releases an update to an OS, they test against tens of thousands of third party applications, devices, et al. They don't just throw their crap out there and let everyone else handle it; traditionally they have bent over backwards to make sure that old software works in the update. They even had a special hack built into the OS just to get SimCity classic to work correctly.
I am a software developer. In my experience, doing ANYTHING with DRM *should* mean unit testing the hell out of every major third party implementation of MY product as much as I can.
Marketplace is not entirely employee-driven. It's trying to enter the space that is enjoyed by the likes of Download.com.
Look at the Google cache. It's under:
Downloads> Utility Downloads> System Downloads> Driver Downloads> BIOS & System Update Downloads> Ubuntu Desktop
Clearly that was a section where Microsoft wasn't paying attention to third party support uploads.
In all my months (both years, actually) that I have used PowerShell, I used it for its user interface, not for scripting.
And I used it in such a way that every command, piped to every command, worked in sensible ways.
Querying a list of objects results in a list of objects. You want text? Great. PowerShell bent over backwards and stuck its head through its legs and kissed itself in the crotch to give you clean, human-readable text out of your objects. But they're still objects. So you can introspect the properties of those objects. Or you can execute methods on those objects.
With only text, you just have a bunch of ASCII characters, that HAPPEN to line up in a pattern that can be read by a human or, with some effort, with a textual analyzer pattern.
But with objects, you can fire off commands that make sense because they are complete representations of WHAT THEY ARE, not how they are described in sequences of ASCII characters.
Oh please, give it a rest. Silverlight is just XAML (XML) + Javascript. Silverlight isn't open-sourced but it is open standard. Get to work on it or hush.
The reason why companies consdier web mail a security risk isn't because of viruses and trojan horses, it's because of the potential dissemination of proprietary corporate information.
This article had me confused. Apple wanted to drop DRM because they're surely tired of being the bad guys. Dropping DRM (or encouraging its droppage) should make them the good guys (in our crowd), not the bad guys. It's like open sourcing creative media.

He who implements the bugs is responsible for his own testing, period.

Hundreds of thousands of office workers everywhere are suddenly claiming to suffer from Turrets Syndrome, a la South Park. #%&!'n @#%^%^ out my @$$!!
