  2. Re:I beg to differ. on Pedophile Asks To Be Deleted From Google Search After European Court Ruling · · Score: 2

    Yea, read the end of https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/... and weep. And as it happens Google recently fired Vic Gundotra.

  3. On Adobe's culture... on Adobe Creative Cloud Services Offline (Again?) · · Score: 1

    I like to mention this: http://arstechnica.com/civis/v...

  4. Re:Special Projects? on Head of MS Research On Special Projects, Google X and Win 9 · · Score: 1

    At MS?

  5. Re:AV dead? Symantec's certainly is on Anti-Virus Is Dead (But Still Makes Money) Says Symantec · · Score: 1

    Eventually Norton AV began to take less resources and I think became easier to uninstall, but I am not sure about the detection rate.

  6. Re:Recruiting policy on Microsoft Cheaper To Use Than Open Source Software, UK CIO Says · · Score: 1

    ELS is only available for RHEL3 and RHEL4 which would otherwise have only 7 years of support, and it covers only a limited number of packages. Read Red Hat's lifecycle page.

  7. Re:Recruiting policy on Microsoft Cheaper To Use Than Open Source Software, UK CIO Says · · Score: 1

    That is a different problem.

  8. Re:Recruiting policy on Microsoft Cheaper To Use Than Open Source Software, UK CIO Says · · Score: 1

    with an option for 3 more years of extended support.

    Read the fine point, the 3 more years do not include any updates.

  9. Re: Recruiting policy on Microsoft Cheaper To Use Than Open Source Software, UK CIO Says · · Score: 1

    I think they had much poorer support though.

  10. Re: Couldn't one core... on AMD Designing All-New CPU Cores For ARMv8, X86 · · Score: 1

    It took a long time (ten years?) to get just a basic 32-bit protected mode operating system out to people at large after the hardware (80386) was out.

    Ah, this is exactly one of the reasons why the MS OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics!

  11. Re:Windows XP on Microsoft Issues Advisory For Internet Explorer Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I mean in the sense that people have been predicting the rise of WinXP exploits after it ended support. And the April 2014 date comes from 2 years of mainstream support after Vista was released plus 5 years of extended support afterwards BTW.

  12. Re:IE6 on Microsoft Issues Advisory For Internet Explorer Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I believe this is an error.

  13. Re:Windows XP on Microsoft Issues Advisory For Internet Explorer Vulnerability · · Score: 2

    What is funny is that the current exploits do not target XP.

  14. Re:What I'd like to read... on The Fall and Rise of Larry Page · · Score: 1

    It is not that simple, but I do think Vic Gundotra needs to be fired for a while now.

  15. Re:Google- on Google Plus Now Minus Chief Vic Gundotra · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Or at least comply with EU privacy laws.

  16. Re:Please... on Google Plus Now Minus Chief Vic Gundotra · · Score: 1

    I am for fixing the problems with Google+ (such as the real name policy) not killing it.

  18. Re:Lets not forget Tom Wheeler on DC Revolving Door: Ex-FCC Commissioner Is Now Head CTIA Lobbyist · · Score: 1

    Seems like he left the CTIA in 2004. IMO, he should be at the bottom of the list, if at all.

  19. Re:Well, what did we expect? on F.C.C., In Net Neutrality Turnaround, Plans To Allow Fast Lane · · Score: 1

    Seems like he left the CTIA in 2004. IMO, he should be at the bottom of the list, if at all. Can someone expand the Wikipedia article?

  21. Re:Play by the rules on Hewlett-Packard Admits To International Bribery and Money Laundering Schemes · · Score: 1

    Yea, I am thinking that FCPA should probably be repealed.

  22. Re:It's California Law that is the problem on Mozilla CEO Firestorm Likely Violated California Law · · Score: 1

    Personally I am more interested in suing OKCupid for starting the boycott to compel Mozilla to violate employment laws.

    I have an entire wishlist for Satya here, and cleaning up the OOXML fiasco is one of them.:

  24. Re:So what about server 2012 first release? on Microsoft: Start Menu Returns, Windows Free For Small Device OEMs, Cortana Beta · · Score: 1

    Don't forget lack of IE11 too. At least they are willing to support these users for the full 10 years unlike Win8.0, and yes this distinction is artificial too.

  25. Re:What about 2012R2??? on Microsoft: Start Menu Returns, Windows Free For Small Device OEMs, Cortana Beta · · Score: 1

    I think it will get this too given that it is basically the server version of Win8.1.
