  1. Re:Bandwidth Calculations on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 1

    Yea, and the worst thing is that it costs the same as the 3GB tiered service, which is why AT&T is fixing the limit at that value. Throttle speed is also fixed to 256kbps BTW.

  2. Personally... on Europe's 'Right To Be Forgotten' Threatens Online Free Speech · · Score: 1

    I have been saying that the illusion that people are perfect is fundamentally flawed for a while now.

  3. Another interesting thread on Apple-Approved Fair Labor Inspections Begin At Foxconn · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Used to work there when it happened on Verisign Admits Company Was Hacked In 2010, Not Sure What Was Stolen · · Score: 1

    Good thing Ken Silva left VeriSign in Nov 2010, and notice it was after he left that the incident was finally reported.

  5. Re:If they can't say on Verisign Admits Company Was Hacked In 2010, Not Sure What Was Stolen · · Score: 1

    AFAIK IE uses the Windows SChannel built into to the OS. Thus the trusted CA lists etc are part of Windows.

  6. Re:Or... on Fighting Rogue Access Points At linux.conf.au · · Score: 1

    Well there is already SSL built into browsers, and it is standard for banks already.

  7. Re:IBM on Y Combinator Wants To Kill Hollywood · · Score: 1

    And consider for example that OS/2 could have been used by MS as a tool to kill DR-DOS!

  8. Re:IBM on Y Combinator Wants To Kill Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Then MS later used unethical tactics to attack OS/2. Look up "OS/2 Microsoft Munchkins" for example.

  9. Re:Great accomplishment, but only temporary on Jailbreak For A5 iOS Devices Released · · Score: 1

    Last release for 3G was 4.2.1.

  10. Re:IBM on Y Combinator Wants To Kill Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Yea, MS screwed up the move to protected mode so badly I could write an entire article on this story.

  12. Re:half right on Why Politicians Should Never Make Laws About Technology · · Score: 1

    This is why I suggested this:
    "Actually, randomly selecting people from a state or province, similar to a lottery draw, may be a better idea. The key is to make sure it is a large variety of people."

    I once proposed this idea: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3161455

  14. Re:Win7...protecting me from myself... on What's Keeping You On XP? · · Score: 1

    I think .NET Framework 3.5.1 is built into Win7 as a feature. Have you tried to go to "Turn Windows Features On or Off" in "Pograms and Features". Also for Windows Update you are supposed to use the application built-in to Vista and later. (yes it no longer depends on IE).

  15. Custom Support Agreement on What's Keeping You On XP? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many enterprises will ended up getting a Custom Support Agreement after XP ends support in April 2014, which FYI costs $200,000 for first year (can be split into $50,000 for each quarter) and more every year afterwards.

  16. Update now available on Microsoft Issuing Unusual Out-of-Band Security Update · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Bad Security = Bad Security big surprise on New WiFi Setup Flaw Allows Easy Router PIN Guessing · · Score: 1

    I think they designed the protocol to use Diffie-Hellman to prevent offline attacks.

  18. Re:Give me a break on Techrights Recommends An Apple Boycott · · Score: 1

    Yea, I never agreed with everything on Techrights and hasn't read it recently. That being said, it is funny that the server version of Windows 7 is called Windows Server 2008 R2 (look up the support lifecycle of both!). I still remember when they were the first to cover the MS-Nokia-Elop fiasco (even mentioned it in this thread. AFAIK last time Slashdot posted an article from what was then called Boycott Novell was years ago.

    What do you think Larry and Sergey are?

  20. Re:Just wait until the Web 2.0 Depression hits. on Why the Occupy Movement Skipped Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Reminds me that NT 3.51 and 4.0 was actually ported to IBM's PowerPC.

  21. Re:Valued by Results on Why the Occupy Movement Skipped Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    I think it started with the corporate raiders in the 1980s.

  23. Re:is it public? on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    FYI I remember debugging a crashdump from this BSoD, and Safari was calling uxtheme which in turn calls this function that causes the BSoD.

  24. Re:So all 5 of you running Safari on Windows on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    (NT 4 at least, maybe the 3.x versions too)

    Win32k was introduced in NT4. Previously all the stuff was in user mode (in CSRSS).

    Not to mention XUL webapp support was removed in FF4 anyway.
