  1. Re:For me it's Windows NT 3.1 on 25 Years Today - Windows 3.0 · · Score: 1

    I like to mention the fact that it helped Caldera continue it's lawsuit against MS when I was discussing how MS turned OS/2 2.x into a fiasco.

  2. Re:Systemic on Harvard Hit With Racial Bias Complaint · · Score: 1

    I am thinking of removing anti-discrimination laws completely (not just to create exceptions) and allowing regulators (such as anti-trust) to impose anti-discrimination conditions on specific companies instead, because of problems like this.

  3. Re:Thank AT&T lawsuit on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 1

    What is funny is there is a reason why SCO targeted Linux not BSD later on. You can thank Novell and Ray Noorda for this, Terry Lambert has several posts on this topic and the settlement agreement is now public too.

  4. On anti-discrimination laws... on Recruiters Use 'Digital Native' As Code For 'No Old Folks' · · Score: 1

    I am thinking of removing anti-discrimination laws completely (not just to create exceptions) and allowing regulators (such as anti-trust) to impose anti-discrimination conditions on specific companies instead, because of the problems they cause and the lack of effectiveness.

  5. The old DirectX redists are dead on Microsoft Office 2016 Public Preview Released · · Score: 1

    The old DirectX redists are dead and has been since Vista introduced WDDM, though the Platform Updates backports some things.

  6. Re:Paid Advertisement on Once a Forgotten Child, OpenSSL's Future Now Looks Bright · · Score: 2

    LibreSSL is not a complete rewrite.

  7. Re:Paid Advertisement on Once a Forgotten Child, OpenSSL's Future Now Looks Bright · · Score: 2

    Yes, but this saying nothing about the future of it etc.

  8. Re:Maybe they will move to court instead? on Windows XP Support Deal Not Renewed By UK Government, Leaves PCs Open To Attack · · Score: 1

    This reminds me that the reason Server 2003 got an extra year of support is that they waited until after Vista SP1 to release Server 2008, and Vista RTM had many well-known problems.

  9. "remix" is reasonable in this case on Yahoo Called Its Layoffs a "Remix." Don't Do That. · · Score: 1

    I think calling it a "remix" is reasonable in this case. The idea is Marissa wants to get rid of some of the people hired under the previous CEO and replace it with much more talented people. Abuse of the term is still bad of course.

  10. Re:Why not? on Microsoft Engineer: Open Source Windows Is 'Definitely Possible' · · Score: 1

    Well, Apple once got Blue Box on NuKernel, which would have been a good starting point.

  11. Re:They disabled insecure TLS version fallback on Firefox 37 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, SSLv2 did take a lot of additional code to support, but the same is not true for SSLv3. I think every browser was going to disable SSLv3 soon thanks to POODLE.

  12. Re:Nothing new here on License Details Hint MS Undecided On Suing Users of Its Open Source Net Runtime · · Score: 1

    That blog article actually inspired my own wishlist for Satya on my own blog that is poorly written.

  13. They disabled insecure TLS version fallback on Firefox 37 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Older versions of the Certicom TLS stack used in older versions of WebLogic are affected for example (change to JSSE).

  14. OpenSSL and export suites on FREAK Attack Threatens SSL Clients · · Score: 1

    What is sad is that OpenSSL disabled the EXPORT1024 ciphersuites in 2006. If you don't know what these are, in year 1999 the US government raised the limit to 56-bit encryption and 1024-bit RSA. They were described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/dr... . And for the record it was in year 2000 that the restrictions was removed for "retail" software.

  15. Personally... on Notorious 8chan Board Has History Wiped After Federal Judge's Doxing · · Score: 1

    I'd rather focus on fixing the problems with using real names than "doxing" anonymous posters, for example.

  16. Re:The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One on Bank Hackers Steal Millions Via Malware · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if governments made all banks non-profit or something like that.

  17. Re:The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One on Bank Hackers Steal Millions Via Malware · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if government made all banks non-profit or something list that.

  18. Re:From the post... on Firefox To Mandate Extension Signing · · Score: 1

    More importantly, Malwarebytes was designed for fighting malware like this and has the expertise.

    What bad certificates are you talking about?

    I don't think Mozilla is that bad.

  21. Re:Drama queen on Firefox To Mandate Extension Signing · · Score: 1

    You can disable UEFI secure boot on most BIOSes.

  22. From the post... on Firefox To Mandate Extension Signing · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Extensions that change the homepage and search settings without user consent have become very common, just like extensions that inject advertisements into Web pages or even inject malicious scripts into social media sites. To combat this, we created a set of add-on guidelines all add-on makers must follow, and we have been enforcing them via blocklisting (remote disabling of misbehaving extensions). However, extensions that violate these guidelines are distributed almost exclusively outside of AMO and tracking them all down has become increasingly impractical. Furthermore, malicious developers have devised ways to make their extensions harder to discover and harder to blocklist, making our jobs more difficult."

    In fact, the Pi2 is better at web browsing than the original.

    It is alphabetically organized, but it still have folders actually (I have it running in a VM).

    This is the IoT build, and you would run Visual Studio on another desktop system and upload the programs to the Pi.
