  1. Lots of unpatched systems on Former Second Largest Linux Distributor Red Flag Software Has Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Peng noted that, during its hey days, Red Flag had enjoyed high adoption among government agencies, state-owned organizations, and schools.

    Lots and lots of unpatched servers waiting to be exploited from now on (unless they migrate to a supported platform).

    Spasibo!

    Surely that is not subjective at all.

  5. Re:Not much longer? on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 1

    Could you provide some URLs to videos that fail in HTML5 on the desktop, but load fine on iOS?

    What is this strategy accomplishing?

    While I totally agree, I was trying to be more pragmatic. I couldn't care less if a video I try to watch won't play in the HTML5 version (I will simply not watch it).. and I sincerely hope Zynga burns in hell. But all the other average users out there will keep depending on Flash while those companies don't offer HTML5 versions.

    Geez, have to explain everything here :)

  8. Re:Not much longer? on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 2

    Look at IE6 declining curve... Flash will probably be worse than that.

  9. Re:Not much longer? on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 2

    A lot of Youtube content is not available in HTML5 yet. Plus, all the famous Zynga games use Flash.

  10. Skydrive is changing name? When? on UK Company Successfully Claims Ownership of "Pinterest" Trademark · · Score: 1

    Where is that stated anywhere?

  11. CGI "officials" on NYT: Healthcare.gov Project Chaos Due Partly To Unorthodox Database Choice · · Score: 1

    So the private-owned company has "officials". Cool...

  12. NSA will not like it on France Proposes Consideration of Tax On Data Taken Out of EU · · Score: 1

    Do you think they could get an exception on this tax?

    Same here. Can't believe someone is not using Hadoop for such job. Obvious choice.

  15. Re:How bad is MS on Steve Ballmer Replaces Don Mattrick As Xbox One Chief · · Score: 1

    Good point. The fact that he is leaving doesn't surprise me. The fact that he accept a job at Zynga instead of staying at home sure sounds crazy.

  16. Re:Discontinuing TechNet... on Microsoft Reacts To Feedback But Did They Get Windows 8.1 Right? · · Score: 1

    Isn't MSDN supposed to be for developers while TechNet is for IT "pros" ?

  17. Re: Surpassing Vista on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 0

    You do realize Win8 has a desktop environment and your Win7 apps will work just fine, don't you? Geez, I can't understand how much this crap gets mentioned over and over here.

  18. Re:How is this legal? on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 0

    So unions should sell their services as insurance for the status quo basically? Looks a plausible strategy since they rarely help improve anything.

    Just disable UEFI in your motherboard's BIOS and chill out.

    How much is M$ charging for access to that?

    He wasn't a potential terrorist. Unless you're so out of touch with reality to think so.

    This kid must be thinking so many bad things about society in general right now that when/if he gets out of jail, it would be no surprise if he actually plans to get even. Mr. Osama must be happy that the US authorities are carrying out his plan.

    The overhead of maintaining those robots is minimum compared to the overall operation. A company in the US will not be spending a lot more than one in China.
