He really isn't allowed to express his own personal opinion
Yea, I still remember an incident, like that make sense these days:
http://www.bnet.com/2403-13058_23-358555.html
(This one is about Facebook photos, but I'd say the same about personal opinions too)
It seems to me that public people might need two twitter accounts just to create the legal definition of what they're posting as part of their job (which definitely should be subject to retention policies) and what they're positing as a member of the public.
"+++" would screw with people on dial up sessions.
Yea, that was another story altogether. Hayes tried to prevent this by requiring a guard time before and after this sequence, but they patented it, and so some other modem manufacturers created TIES which did not use guard time. Hayes was irritated at not getting the royalty, so they even made full-page ads on the problems with TIES with a test kit, which led to lawsuits by these modem makers, and they even put the sequence into press releases. Another Usenet thread that was part of the reaction to this posting.
So they have *started* to move to a server OS that doesn't have a ridiculous UI. I think it will be 2020 before we see a proper MS server operating system - where people who have no business being on the server are lost and don't know what to do.
BTW, Windows Server 2008 already has "Server Core" which is pretty close, if it is not already, I think.
Which cause trouble with the Windows installer that always replace the MBR with the standard MBR. Luckily most bootloaders can be set to install into the partition boot sector, which avoid this issue.
And this part is just outright false. They were never disabled in the first place, as noted even by several comments in the article that was linked to there. Furthermore, Google's announcement never said anything like that they'd be immediately removing the censorship.
Yea, I remember there was a lot of confusion over this, partly because English-language searches were never censored.
Indeed, MS already pushes a Malicious Software Removal Tool every Patch Tuesday along with the updates. I'd add detection and removal of the rootkit to it.
Yep, SSDT table hooking, which Windows x64 tries to prevent via PatchGuard. When Skywing that wrote the articles about bypassing it joined MS, I was wondering if anything changed about that in Windows 7. Anyone know?
Slashdot Mirror
I submitted this to Slashdot: http://slashdot.org/submission/1175056/More-details-on-the-TDSS-rootkit
At worse, I see this as evidence that Google can be just as much as a monopoly threat as Microsoft was on the PC.
Huh? MS actively tried to crush the competition using illegal means.
The raiders refined their argument a bit and started arguing "Maximizing shareholder value benefits society most."
Part of what helped here was the unions who was using stocks for retirement, which I think is flawed.
Yea, I have a rejected slashdot submission on the flaws: http://slashdot.org/submission/1168626/The-flaws-of-shareholder-value-and-agency-theory
even when they did, they weren't the same as the ones on PCs and so weren't compatible with non-Mac peripherals anyway
Ha? Apple designed their RS-422 serial ports from the beginning to be compatible with RS-232 through RS-423 provided you have the right cable..

Yea, like there is a separation between personal and professional these days: http://www.bnet.com/2403-13058_23-358555.html
Yea, and MS has a list of what it removes.
Which is exactly what this is supposed to fix.

Yea, it was a big point in the Windows vs NetWare wars in the late 90s, as I remember
Which cause trouble with the Windows installer that always replace the MBR with the standard MBR. Luckily most bootloaders can be set to install into the partition boot sector, which avoid this issue.
Yep, I wonder once we get beyond 2TB whether it is better to increase the logical sector size or just switch to GPT.
the remaining die-hard users of antique hardware will be creating adapter hardware that can do the necessary conversion and 512-byte-sector emulation.
In fact, that is exactly what the WD Advanced Format drives are doing right now to be compatible.

Yep, the flaws of top-down command and control, and also the problem of out-of-touch senior execs.
Yea, in order to "maximize shareholder value". I have a slashdot submission about the flaws of shareholder value and agency theory:

Indeed, MS already pushes a Malicious Software Removal Tool every Patch Tuesday along with the updates. I'd add detection and removal of the rootkit to it.
Yea, I visited there too.
Actually it targets atapi.sys, which is not updated by this patch, not the kernel.
Yep, SSDT table hooking, which Windows x64 tries to prevent via PatchGuard. When Skywing that wrote the articles about bypassing it joined MS, I was wondering if anything changed about that in Windows 7. Anyone know?
Yea, I'd suggest that MS add detection and removal for this rootkit to the MSRT.
There is a startup option in the bootloader for XP and later to disable automatic reboot on BSoDs. Hold down F8 during boot and you will see it.
