  1. Re:I wonder if Microsoft offered an XP--2 edition on Internet Explorer 9 Will Not Support Windows XP · · Score: 1

    IE9 depends on DX10. Which runs on XP, Google is your friend. If I were MS, I'd release DX11 for $150 for XP.

    With any descent server mobo supporting serial over Ethernet and ILOM or equivalent technologies, I fail to see the point in these devices. Along with kickstart installer images (RHEL family and Ubuntu) for repurposed boxes, deployment optins have really moved forward, don't you think?

  8. Re:Great. Just what the DNS infrastructure needs on ISC Releases the First Look At BIND 10 · · Score: 1

    Sorry for OT top-posting, but I must ask this. What is the standard procedure for proposing a protocol extension (DNS more specifically)? My idea is simple - it relates to IPv6 networks. When a DNS server supporting the protocol extension (and has it enabled) receives a query that resolves to a v6 address, transforms the address to a address mapping pushed to the NAT-ing edge router via IGDP, receives the internal v4 address, and returns it as a result to the original DNS query. I think the point is quite clear. What does /. think?

    The Efficeon series from Transmeta from years ago wipes the floor with a modern Atom, when taking the chipset in consideration. People thought that Transmeta chips sucked because the prevailing mindset at the time was MOAR PAWUHR!!!!!!!!111eleventyone1!!!!1. There was no concept of netbook/thinclient style devices. Everybody wanted a mainframe in their home, for cheap.

  15. Re:To be fair... on The Secret Origin of Windows · · Score: 1

    How about including proper arch-independent EFI drivers in the PCI option ROM, and export generic hardware interfaces via the mainboard firmware. That way the whole driver issue goes away. Also, there is the issue of maintainability, that anything with clout, like a corporation, can take care of as long as it wishes. Then what? New hardware? What's the point of running a FLOSS OS if hardware vendors tell you what to do? SCoN as a movement is there, because compromising would turn us into a crappier Windows, and nothing more. We need to be better than them, not just copy them.

  24. Re:Use a persistence library on Anatomy of a SQL Injection Attack · · Score: 1

    If performance sucks, the implementation is bad, if the interface sucks, the concept is bad. A really good ORM would truly make SQL pointless. I don't think that is that hard. And who said it had to be mapped to objects? LINQ ain't OO, AFAIK. Afterwords, you can be concerned with implementation. VISCs were slow for VMs only until JIT improved, and we have a long way to go.

    Subclass String to sql_query, add inheritance from a well constructed enum, and carry on generating dynamic queries. Any unsafe queries will result in a type error. Why handle it yourself if you can use the type system?
