When exposing the vulnerability you simply run it through the legally ambiguous filter.

Based on your code I surmised it was likely susceptible to an injection attack vector and wanted to make you aware of it before someone actually tries it.
Tucows really is the nicest internet company out there today. And there isn't a single/. member who didn't benefit from their download site years ago. Every comment so far has completely missed the part where Tucows is making so much money doing other things it is choosing to provide the download site gratis going forward. I signed up for Ting in 2013 and have been saving $100 mo. on my cell service ever since. As icing on the cake their web site is easy to use, shows me pertinent information and they have actual live people to talk to if you have a problem. Ting was doing Google Fi before Google. They are also doing fiber internet. Google has gotten a lot of good ideas from Tucows. If you are a business in need of creating an internet presence and no clue where to start Tucows is definitely the right place.
Been reading/. since the very early days and keep coming back because the site stays out of the contents way (the boycott beta days not withstanding) I also used to read Engadget regularly but no longer. When Topolsky and gang ran off to start TheVerge I was intrigued and was there the day they went live. It was clear they had designed their site to be for the blogger by the blogger. I can't say journalist as the content wasn't always of journalistic integrity/quality. I read an article who's entire purpose was to dissect Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe"! The article itself was the author's self musings on his crush on said artist and the comments section was mostly other bloggers complimenting his use of white space and picture placement in the article. Very little substance. Perhaps that's the reason so many media outlets are dying?
I don't get that choice. Forbes ad server is blocked by my network proxy because it's flagged as malware so even with no ad blockers I get their please turn off ad blocker message.
One of the largest commodity trading platforms (Intercontinental Exchange) is written in JAVA and I can assure you speed is what trading is all about. If a JAVA program is slow then perhaps the developer needs to look at optimizing their code.
I put Cyanogenmod on my ancient Barnes & Noble Nook Color and have been using it as a remote for a few years now. I never liked having the app built into the TV since it would always end up neglected. I have numerous devices with the Netflix client prior to them rolling out profiles. None of them got updated so no profiles for those devices.
You're thinking of AT&T which is actually Southwestern Bell or SBC, (SBC bought up most of the other baby bells and finally bought AT&T and took the name.) Verizon, (Bell Atlantic) and CenturyLink. (Qwest/US West)
Remember Windows RT? This is Windows RT repackaged. It's the slow to a boil cooking method. Once they reach critical acceptance they will deprecate the Win32 API in Windows and ONLY UWP API's will work. This will take years but Microsoft has always gone for the long game. Remember when they lost the browser wars to Netscape or the time they were five years late to the internet?

You left out the part where the music is then burned to an optical disc and sold without a link to the torrent site you got it from./. does NOT condone such activities! The link to the torrent site must be included.
To whomever modded this offtopic you might try actually following the links. Blackberry Healthcare is at the forefront of securing your medical records while expanding your doctor's ability to recall those records on the fly.
As more of these high profile hacks emerge BlackBerry's expertise is suddenly in vogue again. And BlackBerry is actually well positioned to take advantage. I think with Chen at the helm they've got a good shot at taking a lion share of securing medical and IoT.
I've had the Disable Advertising button on/. for years. You know what? I only turned it on once just to see what the difference would be. The difference wasn't that big so I turned it off. I am quite happy supporting sites/services that are of benefit to me. I no longer visit sites I used to love because they enabled IN YOUR FACE ads that get in the way of the reason I'm there. I couldn't go to Forbes at work anymore even if I wanted to because they flag our proxy as an ad blocker and won't even let me past the ad banner until I turn the proxy off! If you want an example of a site with ads that don't bug me/. is a pretty good one.
There are SCADA systems still in use today that run DOS/Win 3.11 and NT because they still work. Obviously Microsoft doesn't support these nor do their original designers. They could theoretically move their system to newer hardware if they switched to ReactOS. Whether it would be cheaper than scrapping it for a newer system or not depends on the system.
Migrations often bring a lot of this out of the woodwork.
You aint wrong there.
This story immediately brought back memories of a migration for a large oilfield company back around ~2K. We were doing background data transfers from user's existing machines to the new ones while they were still using their existing machines. One of the techs gets a call from the guy he's working on at the time and the guy wants to make sure he gets his 976 (anyone remember those?) pron dialers (plural) reinstalled! Another guy is getting frustrated because his data copy is never ending because as he copying the user is downloading pron videos. The tech made the mistake of opening one and was met with a decidedly geriatric individual. Then there was the Indian user who had a drive full of Bollywood pron (women with their faces exposed dancing). That was a fun project...except for every time Documentum destroyed MS Office and required a re-image which was all too frequent.
Of course programmers are going to say LabView is a horrible language because it's a GRAPHICAL programming environment. Its entire purpose for being is to allow scientists and engineers to quickly piece together a control environment for scientific/SCADA type equipment without knowing how to code. All scientists/engineers should be able to do logic and flow charts and as the OP pointed out that's where these "languages" shine. If you need more robust code LabView works with C libraries just fine. I wouldn't want to do a purely software related project with LabView but if I need to trigger an oscilloscope when a certain anomaly occurs and send that data to a function generator it's a lot easier than writing a C program.
Intel's so far ahead of AMD, they have to roll back the clocks in order to stay competitive.
AMD isn't Intel's competition. Intel needs AMD to prevent Anti-Trust litigation. Intel's competition is ARM and all the OEM's who use ARM based chips. Especially if Microsoft ports full Windows 10 to the ARM. The big draw of ARM is performance/price per watt which is exactly what Intel is shooting for.

I tend to agree with your assessment I was merely explaining why UWP matters and developers SHOULD be leery.

It's OK, Alec Sandler will invent time travel and send Kiera Cameron and Liber8 back in time to set those evil corporations straight!
I always go out of my way to call my Canadian friends Americans when we're together. For some reason it irritates them immensely.
