No, the traitors are the military personnel, who swore to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and DOMESTIC, and then sit at their desks at the NSA, figuring out better ways to spy on us.
New Windows is part of a clever master plan. When people reject this disgusting new flavor, MS starts selling Windows Classic. In glass bottles. Made with real sugar.
Government work is pricey for a reason. Maybe you're friends with the mayor or governor, and your shit magically doesn't stink. Or maybe you have no friends, so you get a call at 2AM that basically goes "THE SERVER YOU SOLD US 17 YEARS AGO IS ON FIRE. REPLACE IT IN 12 HOURS OR GO TO JAIL"
Seriously, everything has a manufacturer back door. Most of the time you don't know about it, but its there. Usually they're smart enough to not give it out, making you instead ship it back to them for a password reset (what, you thought they pressed the invisible RESET PASSWORD button you couldn't find on the circuit board??).
The security breach here is the manufacturer releasing this info, and it getting posted on the web.
I will tell you the same thing I tell black people about slavery: You and I weren't there, so shut the fuck up about it. You need to adjust your fucking attitude, and stop looking at me like I owe you something just because I have the same skin eye and hair color as unrelated people who did horrible things to people with the same skin eye and hair color as you (who you might not even be related to).
PS-- The horrible things Germans did to your people does not justify the horrible things your people are doing to the Palestinians. NO ONE IS BUYING YOUR CLAIMS OF VICTIMHOOD, and you might be able to buy American politicians (ironically using the foreign aid money we send to Israel), but the American people are not as dumb as you think.
PPS-- everyone knows jews did 9/11. Conspiracy theory? Is it a conspiracy theory that the NYPD arrested a van load of Mosad agents in Central Park who were video taping the towers burning, and getting drunk on champagne?
I love the smell of burning Karma in the morning. It smells like buttthurt jewfag.
The article is aimed at getting more people interested in programing as a career. Big companies are not happy about how much time and effort (and money) they spend woo-ing programmers, and the also don't like all the H1-B heat they're taking.
Solution: make everyone a programmer.. EVERYONE. Goal will be reached when kernel hacking is a minimum wage job.
If you think this is far-fetched, you're not paying attention.
Ever root your android phone? Because unless you really REALLY know what you're doing, you're just downloading things and following instructions (which is why I'm not bothering to root mine).
People who root their phones are doing exactly this, although with (allegedly) non-malware payload.
Right. National Security Letters are a fairy tale.
You do realize, astroturf sockpuppet fag, that this is Slashdot, where things like NSLs are routinely discussed...? You're in the wrong fucking place to dismiss those as fantasy.
I would bet all the money in my pocket that app developer support was priority #1 for windows phone. You sell the phone to get app store sales, and you need apps to sell.
The problem is that no one bought the phones, making development unattractive.
Why did no one buy the phones? Because they're not cool.
MS's cloud division is a cancerous growth on the ass of IT. They will ultimately lose, because Amazon isn't trying to eliminate the entire IT industry by selling SaaS directly to the clueless users.
I have updates disabled on win7. Pretty much the only way to ensure MS isn't going to fuck it up to prod me to use 10 (like they crapped-up XP SP3 to try to shove me to Vista).
Think this is crazy? Install 7 SP1, and see how great it runs. Then enable updates, install all 150 updates, and see how it runs no better than Vista.

Yes. That's called democracy.

I miss GNAA more every day.
I don't expect a screwdriver to mistrust all screws until trust can be established, and only turn screws that it trusts.
Is a computer a tool, or is it the wonderful new mechanical brain that will soon replace the meat in my skull?
I can tell you're not an American black hat. Everyone knows half of American hackers are on FBI payroll, and the other half desperately want to be.

If I can't trust my OS to respect my privacy, I can't trust its network stack to respect networking standards.
I don't block ads. I use HTTP Switchboard (in Opera) to block java, javascript, plugins, etc.
HTML and images load perfectly fine for me, so advertizers that chose to not be asshats will get my eyes on their ads, for whatever that is worth.
You know it's gotten fucking bad when you have to dodge fake download links at majorgeeks and bleepingcomputer.
+1 insightful.

See? ZDnet knows that only HTTP uses port 80, and HTTP traffic only flows one way.

A COORDINATOR...?!?! Well, that explains where the 19 billion is going!
He would if he didn't have a stack of NSLs telling him he's not allowed to.

You're just mad because he didn't say "I ANAL" to which you could have replied "ORLY?!"
an arbitrary number mapped to a measured value you will never see. 100 != 100%

Chlorine bleach is the most effective anti-microbial I am aware of. I don't recommend drinking it.
