Dangerous? How about massively increasing the time it takes to do basic administrative tasks. I've spent so much time trying to do things in Server 2012 that were absolutely simple from NT 3.5 to Server 2008 that I am officially now rebelling against their stupid Metro interface. Everything is fucked up.
Try debugging an L2TP VPN connection using the silly new interface - you pass from old school to Metro to old school to Metro three times. It just ain't worth it.
They can make a new UI, but nobody's gotta accept or use the damn thing.
Even that Windows 8.1 laptop I was talking about in my parent post: I messed with that for two months. Two days ago I reloaded the thing with Windows 7. I have work to get done, don't have the time to mess with the latest Microsoft fad. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
"Under pressure from US lobbying, the clause that mass surveillance constitutes a human rights violation was dropped earlier."
WTF is this shit from the so-called "Land of the free and the home of the brave"? Not US lobbying, let's call it what it is: Corporate lobbying. Sickening to see my country dying under my feet. Everything my parents told me about Russia being bad when I was growing up is instead coming true here. Damn Damn Damn... Where's that flux capacitor when I need one?
I remember this from way too long ago. I figured it had wrapped up years ago. Was surprised to see it's just now reaching settlement. This was even before OJ's low-speed chase...
I did the same, installed Server 2012 on a new server, said WTF? Tried to run with it, had no luck with Hyper-V on 2012. Reformatted with Server 2008 R2, never looked back.
They have really got to dump that shitty Windows 8 interface on professional hardware. Ain't nobody got time for that...
Now Windows 8.1 on my laptop, it makes sense and I'm happy with it. But on a server? Give me a frikken break...
Usually people who just write MicroSoft instead of Micro$oft (or M$) are just showing their age. For the first few years of the company's existence it was Micro-Soft, and most people dropped the dash for MicroSoft. Everyone-hates-dashes...
Uh, why would one want to run JavaScript on the server? Makes perfect sense in the browser for cross-browser compatibility, but on the server? Why would anyone but JavaScript purists want to do that?
In the.NET world it is C# on the server, JavaScript on the client, AJAX tying the two together - asynchronously.
This is as dumb as using the code-first model for Entity Framework - Just a crutch for people who don't want to learn what they need to learn.
OK, I might get fried for this, but I'm a daily VS2012 V#/MVC 4 Mobile web programmer and I have no clue what Node.js is all about or why they are excited about it.
I looked at the Nodejs.org site and have not a clue WTF it's supposed to do. Anyone got a translation of what in the hell their buzzspeak means?
"Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."
What does it do that jQuery's async AJAX handlers do not?// Fully duh about it... Clue me please.
But it's NOT a criminal offense, you big dummy. It's an administrative citation, below a misdemeanor, definitely below a felony. A felony is required for something to be a literal criminal offense.
Educate yourself about the weird world of traffic law before spouting boot-licking nonsense.

Exactly what I had in mind when I said that. :)

Hey it worked in Star Trek...
Which one? What are you talking about?
So, Mr Complainer, got a better idea?

It's not CHILDish, it's OLDish.
Save your rage for the "M$" people...
Take your dog whistling and get the fuck out of here, loser.

We aren't in any way at this time, but if we don't start caring for our citizens again and start handing out raises, we're fucked.

Apparently nothing... Do you not remember last month?

Yah, but how many people saw The Wolverine and thought the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki was WAY too small?
Trevon Martin protected his neighborhood from thugs? With Skittles?
Shit, look at what happened to the internet since Jon Postel was assassinated... :(
Oh, so like WinAmp? Gone after Dec 20, 2013.

V# should have been C#

When are we gonna get a Linux distro with the modern version of MonoDevelop.
Call it a trap all you want, it's still a dream of mine to write MVC 4 apps under Linux, using the most recent version of MonoDevelop.
...and instead, the Russians just used a pencil.
