  1. In case this helps anyone else on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    We found this to be a problem when running old ATI drivers on a FireGL card, had to uninstall the drivers and install new versions, then the patch would stop bluescreening. ati2mtag.sys was the culprit in the minidumps I looked at, FWIW.

  2. MOD PARENT UP Re:Why write any date/time code? on The Exact Cause of the Zune Meltdown · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Exactly, just goes to show the dangers in not QA'ing the whole codebase including supplied drivers. You can't trust your own code so you QA it, why should you trust your partner's code.

  3. Remember kids on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    all that sensitive data can be stored on a truecrypt microSD card, and muled up your arse into the great ol USA. Unless they are going to start forcing everyone to take a dump and literally go through it with a fine toothed comb. with how small data storage is getting these days, and how fast internet access is, there's no excuse to actually store sensitive data where anyone expects it to be, right on your desktop and unencrypted.

  4. No, they did it to annoy shitty developers... on Microsoft Designed UAC to Annoy Users · · Score: 1

    When the developers of shitty software that needs root just to run or to do something that shouldn't it annoys the end users who then in turn complain to their software company reps who then figures out a bunch of people hate how annoying their software is in vista and then they dictate to the developers to fix it, thus annoying the developers. /runonsentence
