Again with this? There is no theory stage. 'Theory' is not a precursor to absolute knowledge. If you think gravity is just a theory I invite you to test it via the nearest window.
Don't make a joke on facebook in the UK about it, you might get arrested.
I find your comment grossly offensive! It is causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety! Take yourself off down the nick, there's a good chap.
Free is just the $0.00 price tag. It isn't a charity. fb farms your contacts, sells your privacy, pwns your identity. Surely that is payment enough. fbookers give it away far too cheaply if you ask me. Then there are the terms and conditions - a contract - if you will. "We the undersigned, one soul all eternity etc. etc."
fb set the terms - did they breach their own terms? If so - stupid fb, clever Albanian.
meh, i tried this once;
took some aged boxen from work cleaned off sensitive data installed linux and educational games, squid, etc.
Didn't want to know - just wanted higher spec and Microtard Windoze.
RTFA - read-only access. They want to look at their data. Not unreasonable since 'they' are the reason he has a crappy job. They aren't asking for sysdba. Too many sysadmins and dbas have this BFOH/D&D attitude that they are gatekeepers.
You can moan about it and protect your little empire in which case I fire your useless ass and employ a new grad or you can make like a professional with a can-do attitude and earn your keep.
Okay, not a troll - just a sap. Bar this you are wrong on every point:
We don't have to know about any of those things. We'll get an automatic update, won't have to wait until some random Tuesday and it will work. We're not smug at all - one of the reasons people move to 'nix is because of security concerns. Sure this exploit is pretty bad as it renders systems vulnerable locally i.e. Windows normal mode of operation - the most ubiquitous closed source.
And yes it is black and white. Closed == BAD, Open == GOOD.

There is no god, no creator, no divine noodle and not one single scintilla of evidence exists to the contrary. There seems to be, given the murderous fervour of religious belief across the globe, some innate propensity for superstition in the human animal which should not be mocked or baited.
The fact is none of us actually know. We must respect other people and their beliefs however ludicrous. Faith is important to so many people, even if I had a silver-bullet argument I'd be loathe to rob them of what gets them through the day. Perhaps I even envy their credulity - wouldn't life be so much simpler? Beliefs hurt no-one - only actions should be curtailed.
Science will eventually render these arguments moot, perhaps that is why it is under attack. Within a few generations we may cure death and become immortal ourselves. We have already created new species. We may yet become gods of virtual worlds and create intelligent life ourselves. Humanity may be on the brink of extinction. Will the petri dish bloom or will the colony die?
This ruling infringes the director's rights and devalues educational standards. We should be able to accommodate various views without hampering scientific progress. Some eminent physicists can suspend their god-belief long enough to conduct experiments, or conduct them anyway hoping It won't interfere. If you truly believe then why censor in this way?
Keep religion away from science and both away from politics.
I like the 3D Desktop but I have a lot more than thirty files. M$ Surface is just the Space Invader table that used to be in pubs before you were all born. Lay it flat Bill - its still crap.
The File says:
gorilla arm: n. The side-effect that destroyed touch-screens as a
mainstream input technology despite a promising start in the early
1980s. It seems the designers of all those {spiffy} touch-menu
systems failed to notice that humans aren't designed to hold their
arms in front of their faces making small motions. After more than
a very few selections, the arm begins to feel sore, cramped, and
oversized; hence `gorilla arm'. This is now considered a classic
cautionary tale to human-factors designers; "Remember the gorilla
arm!" is shorthand for "How is this going to fly in *real*
use?".
A waste of time? Who yours? Don't make me laugh. You ably demonstrate the real challenges of the so-called Third World. Your sheer dumb ignorance is breathtaking. The injustice is outrageous! The lazy, the fat, the stupid - privileged idiots like you denying the more worthy, children an opportunity to learn and understand more than you'll ever know, to grow up and challenge your 'free world'. 'They' grow most of what you eat. 'They' are well aware of your indifference to their terrible plight, brought about 'our' interference, fostering corruption, proxy wars, famine, pillaging their natural resources, polluting their environment.
Next time you eat a banana, or sip your java with two sugars, slip into your GAP jeans or your Nikes - think of the children who farmed those foods and stitched those clothes. They work harder and longer than you do now when they should be in school. M$ and Intel's efforts are so transparently all about their interests not the interests of the poor. Shame on them. If 'they' get a real education and not some pretend MSCE - these serial-monopolists might have to compete - YOU might have to compete - on a level playing field!!!...and we know who'd win that one now don't we?
Like I said, brand awareness is prime here. Microsoft are faced with the unique challenge of selling into an increasing hostile marketplace. Consumer disaffection must be at its absolute nadir when cottage industry overtakes global corporation. I guess they just don't understand.
Psychological warfare; pushing the message , 'nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft...', 'we just can't understand why somebody would want to miss all this...', brand loyalty, sowing seeds of doubt. Its advertising. Very '1 Microsoft Way' don't you think?
If I were the biggest software company in the world, I'd ask... my employees? Is it possible that there could be a communication problem at Redmond? Or are Microsoft programmers so different from us, like some sort of stepford wives thing?

What's your /. handle?
Finally someone... thanks.
Is only for Windows.

All our windows servers lose on average 15% to McAfee.
Using light to take pictures of light in motion?
This is either a hoax, or the the article is skipping some really important part.
I used to hate it in Physics when they'd use some weird or backwards analogy like this - its a wonder anyone understand anything. Stupid physicists.meh, i tried this once; took some aged boxen from work cleaned off sensitive data installed linux and educational games, squid, etc. Didn't want to know - just wanted higher spec and Microtard Windoze.

SO it must be somebody else who really really really wants to know why Linux kicks M$ ass.
Like I said, brand awareness is prime here. Microsoft are faced with the unique challenge of selling into an increasing hostile marketplace. Consumer disaffection must be at its absolute nadir when cottage industry overtakes global corporation. I guess they just don't understand.
Is there a particular reason you feel obligated to assist this very large corporation?
