Yea, I have said that "shareholder value" based on stock price and the quarterly earnings game is fundamentally flawed for a while now. Dividends would be a better idea for most mature companies.
ARM is not any more "open" than x86. To sell chips implementing modern versions of either instruction set, you must obtain a license from at least one company and nothing prevents you from extending that instruction set
Yes, but I think ARM is much easier to license than x86.
Of course not, but do you really need to be an XML expert to write real XHTML by hand? I think you just need to learn to nest and close your tags properly etc.
Agreed that XHTML2 was stupid, but if I was there in 2004 I would have suggested a new version of XHTML that is backward compatible with XHTML1 and HTML4 using Appendix C (which XHTML2 wasn't).
FYI, there is a new attack on TKIP that can recover the temporal key after capturing 2^38 packets (for comparison, WEP's IV is 24-bit): http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/165984
Since Windows NT 3.1, Microsoft have proper permissions system so you did not have to run as Administrator. In all the API documentation they told developers what they had to do to work correctly. Unfortunately because Windows 9x was the more popular OS developers could ignore Microsoft's pleas.
Even though NT 3.1 was released before Windows 95!
And NT never supported completely turning off it's security infrastructure, let along did so by default (sure, there was the Administrator default that made it mostly ineffective, but that has been always the case in the NT family before and never was new).
Yea, this myth is old, and I am surprised that people continue to spread it today, even though MS had not release any DOS-based Windows versions since 2001.
Personally I would not go so far to mandate it by law (in fact, I am no fan of anti-discrimination laws due to their fundamental flaws), but we should still advocate this and other problems be fixed if possible.
RDP is a classic example of encryption without verification. In fact, it uses a hardcoded private key that was revealed in 2005. Luckily around this time Windows Server 2003 SP1 was released which allowed RDP over TLS.
Well, studies that are not perfect can still show a general trend even if the values are not exactly correct, and in this case I think it was common knowledge for a while now.

Yea, remember the hostile takeovers?

They do have a "web developer" edition with only the stuff important to web developers.
HTML4 (the only actual standard version AFAIK) has zero advantage over HTML3.2 (the name for what MS and Netscape implemented on their own).
Huh?
Yes, it does. In fact, you can develop polyglot documents that can be interpreted as both HTML5 and XHTML5.

Yep, the main lesson I think is that it shows how bad CRC32 is as an integrity check.
Seems like Asa has been known as a troll for a while now in fact. For example:

And do any of them come from design flaws? Actually from what I remember yes some of them do, but most don't.
I think the problem was the motherboard DMA was not aware of the internal cache inside the Cyrix, since it was a 386 motherboard.
Yea, the thing about it is that when the 80286 and the 80386 came out, Unix was on the ball soon afterwards (I think a protected mode version of Xenix was available by the time the IBM PC/AT was released). By comparison, MS wasted years creating a real mode multitasking DOS version before finally realizing that it was a mistake. It ended up turning into an entire mess that made DOS and 64K segments lasted longer than it should have.

Huh? There are plenty of reasons why even smart people sometime use IE. Often for example they have to because of IE-only webapps.
