He should probably shut it. Doesn't he know that the best security is obscurity? If he keeps talking about how vulnerable that website is, someone MIGHT actually hack it!
Is that what he wants??
Punish Snowden or not? I certainly hope he never gets caught by the wrong people, regardless of whether or not he receives clemency. That's really not the issue.
IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT HE DID IT. IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN.
What are we (Americans) going to do about the information we've received about the unacceptable SHIT our gov't gets up to? Is it time yet to stop pretending we don't know?
My knee-jerk reaction is to say I should move to another country.
Hurray!
I'm part of the problem:(
They could take a chance, analyze their markets, find a niche, craft a workable business plan, and invest in it.
Or just beg their government for money.
Right. My bad.
Process Explorer will let you hover over the executable to see what services it is hosting. You can also open it up to examine which thread or threads are consuming all the resources, as well as kill said threads without killing the whole process.
Maybe their reasoning is something along the lines of it being too difficult to prosecute/litigate the creators/originators, so instead go after the consumers!
You know, like with child porn?
First, as above commenter, portion size. We tend to like our big meals, one way or another.
Second, I remember reading (no, I don't remember where so no citation) that the sugar (or the high fructose corn syrup, one of those two) that Americans feed on a LOT from a young age causes lasting issues.
IIRC, it was something along the lines of that sugar/substance having a detrimental effect on the metabolic process of children as they grow up, resulting in being unable to handle carbs as well as others without that damage. To put it another way, it said that eating sugar as a kid predisposed your body to get fat.
Hogwash? Dunno. Don't remember where I read it.:)
I've run into a lot of problems with IE10 on client's systems (seriously, having to set the option for rendering all sites in Compatibility Mode because too many sites are broken is ridiculous; and, of course, even that doesn't fix all sites). Not really surprised at IE11. When 8.1 was announced, it was postulated it might actually fix many issues (real or imagined) that people had with the new OS.
Right. IE11 fixes IE10's problems like 8.1 fixes Win8. Actually makes a lot of sense, phrased like that.
"Feature not bug" probably.
I mean, yes, the service pack is claim to improve compatibility with Microsoft's most recent cop-out of an OS. In my experience, people buy new copies Office infrequently enough [anecdotal evidence is not a citation] to warrant a little extra effort on their part. This is probably in part additional groundwork to convince people to upgrade to Windows 8.1/Blue as it comes to the market.
Probably the most important bits are the updating the Web Apps and improved compatibility with IE10. IE10 is usually fine, I can almost forget that it's not IE9....unless one of the irritating bugs occurs with it on one of my clients' machines. (To be fair, I can't say I've noticed those problems with it in Windows 8, only with Windows 7 machines that have had IE10 installed).
Still, I just don't think this was worth posting to Slashdot.
On another note, this bit at the end of the article caught my eye:
Even though these releases are service packs, and designed to fix problems, Microsoft has listed a couple of known issues associated with installing them...Microsoft recommends installing a particular update first...on a computer that has Windows Server 2003 SP2
And yet, they still couldn't be bothered to add in logic to detect the described circumstance and include that particular update as a prerequisite to the service pack.
Just....*ugh*.

Didn't read the article, but the summary made me laugh!

Beat me to it. The internet will "remember" you so long as the information about you is perceived to have value.
Process Explorer will let you hover over the executable to see what services it is hosting. You can also open it up to examine which thread or threads are consuming all the resources, as well as kill said threads without killing the whole process.

Another Windows problem that can be fixed by having the user restart his or her computer!
I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in production!
"It's" is possessive.
Incorrect. "It's" is a contraction of "it is". The word you are searching for is "its", which is possessive.

I should know better than to respond to this post, but I just have to say it: That last story cracked me up!
WE ARE NOT AMUSED!

Disingenuous.
But I suppose technically correct IS the best kind of correct, after all.
1. Obviously.
I want Microsoft to continue to advance these absurd, OBSCENE restrictions and policies on the Xbox One. I want it to get even worse.
But what if people ACTUALLY still go for it? What if it succeeds??
in that neither one exists. But I suppose good coffee is in the taste buds of the imbiber.
Indeed! It would be proof! Of something. Not sure what, exactly. I'll have to think that one over.

Ah! Ubuntu! There's your problem. Sounds like you could use a fresh new MINTy flavor of Linux.
