  1. Re:Why don't they focus on Microsoft Announces Windows For Raspberry Pi 2 · · Score: 1

    I checked screenshots and the builds doesn't look that much different to me. The tiles was in the older builds too.

  2. Re:The great OLPC parachute drop. on Microsoft Announces Windows For Raspberry Pi 2 · · Score: 1

    Yea, the Raspberry Pi serve different purposes and goals. The Raspberry Pi is designed to be a general hobbyist platform and OS choice is a good thing there.

  3. Re:When OLPC said Windows IMO they "jumped the sha on New Multi-Core Raspberry Pi 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    And they serve different purposes and goals, more importantly. The Raspberry Pi is designed to be a general hobbyist platform and OS choice is a good thing there.

  4. Re:Now that all the secure everything is gone... on FSF-Endorsed Libreboot X200 Laptop Comes With Intel's AMT Removed · · Score: 1

    This is full of errors. For one thing, the way the Win8 license key is stored in the ROM has nothing to do with Secure Boot. I think it uses ACPI.

  5. Re:What about CPU microcode? on FSF-Endorsed Libreboot X200 Laptop Comes With Intel's AMT Removed · · Score: 1

    Microcode don't run when the computer is powered off and can't connect to a network directly.

  6. Re:So MS do you _finally_ support WebGL now? on In Addition To Project Spartan, Windows 10 Will Include Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    IE11 finally support WebGL and they even improved the implementation with cumulative updates.

  7. Re:Is Yahoo! still a thing? on Marissa Mayer's Reinvention of Yahoo! Stumbles · · Score: 1

    I just recently signed up for an Yahoo account to answer a question and it works fine for me now.

  8. Re:How long things take.. on Marissa Mayer's Reinvention of Yahoo! Stumbles · · Score: 1

    My feeling is that it is a step up over the previous CEOs, but more needs to be done.

  9. Re:Is Yahoo! still a thing? on Marissa Mayer's Reinvention of Yahoo! Stumbles · · Score: 1

    I think they are doing a lot of support on Twitter now.

  10. Re:Shocking! on Hollywood's Secret War With Google · · Score: 1

    I know. I wonder how these kinds of people got there in the first place.

  11. Re:How legacy is legacy? on Google Finds Vulnerability In SSL 3.0 Web Encryption · · Score: 2

    If you absolutely have to use IE6, go to Internet Options's Advanced tab and check TLS 1.0 and while you are at it uncheck SSL 2.0. But of course the preferred solution is to upgrade and while you are it please also update to XP SP3 if you hasn't already. There is no WGA check in WinXP service pack in general, despite such misconceptions.

  12. Re:Chrome Dumbed Down on Google Finds Vulnerability In SSL 3.0 Web Encryption · · Score: 0

    To be honest, I remember the Slashdot article that incorrectly suggested that SSL 2.0 and TLS 1.0 was affected by BEAST.

  13. Re:Because it sucks when you can't compete..... on European Commission Reopens Google Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 1

    Person A sees that Google Maps is top and assumes they're better than company B, as you would when looking at a link in the #1 spot.

    Do people actually do that, especially when it is visually distinctive if I remember correctly.

  14. Re: Well... on Mozilla Rolls Out Sponsored Tiles To Firefox Nightly's New Tab Page · · Score: 1

    Well, the difference between Firefox and Chrome is more than just the UI.

  15. Re:The obvious /. question... on New HP Laptop Would Mean Windows at Chromebook Prices · · Score: 1

    That is exactly what I am talking about.

  16. Re:The obvious /. question... on New HP Laptop Would Mean Windows at Chromebook Prices · · Score: 1

    This reminds me that I hate when Chromebooks use different firmware. Using different firmware for different OSes defeats the purpose of firmware standards like UEFI or ACPI.

  17. Re:Strategy on HP Gives OpenVMS New Life and Path To X86 Port · · Score: 1

    To be honest this is not new. Remember the story of MS-DOS 3.1 for the DEC Rainbow?

  18. Re:Server 2012 already looks like Windows 8. on Microsoft's CEO Says He Wants to Unify Windows · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, I think Server 2012 R2 is a paid upgrade unlike the client edition (Win8.1). And Exchange 2010 is not officially supported yet on R2.

  19. Re:no thanks on Firefox 31 Released · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Intel on Nearly 25 Years Ago, IBM Helped Save Macintosh · · Score: 1

    What is funny is that the Morris worm came out in late 1988, when MS was beginning development on "NT OS/2". Yes, I am talking about the decision to use a flat instead of segmented address space.

  21. Re:A popular laptop OS? on FreeDOS Is 20 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Didn't know this. Looks like it is pretty limited though, as ACPI is much more complex than APM.

  22. Re:A popular laptop OS? on FreeDOS Is 20 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I think UEFI is the best solution for things like this and many firmware update utilities already uses it for example.

  23. Re:A popular laptop OS? on FreeDOS Is 20 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I don't think APM works on most modern machines though. There is the DOS idle utilities which execute the HLT instruction which is not much but is better than nothing.

  24. My explaination on Microsoft Fixing Windows 8 Flaws, But Leaving Them In Windows 7 · · Score: 2

    Well, it is relatively cheap to do things like this during development of a new major version but relatively expensive to do a security update or hotfix, so they need proof there is actually an exploitable bug, though they will often review surrounding code and do additional fixes when developing security updates.

  25. Reminds me of the "Outlook Email Security Update" on Google Starts Blocking Extensions Not In the Chrome Web Store · · Score: 1

    Remember the "Outlook Email Security Update" from mid-2000 with the pop-ups asking to approve programs sending mail or gathering data from your address book and why it was so difficult to disable?
