  1. It's not production ready and designed for clients only. There is no server support. It's mostly a help for devs that live on Windows but have to run Linux tool-chains.

  2. Re:As little as I like Microsoft on In Privacy Victory, Microsoft Wins Appeal Over Foreign Data Warrant (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No, to cut both ways: China should have GLOBAL jurisdiction over its own citizens and corporate entities. If a law or court order is intended to apply to such an entity outside a Chinese territory said order should apply! Obviously, I disagree.

  3. This will be for the OpEX over CapEX rapid upsize / downsize organisations. They can change their numbers monthly and immediately expense it rather than having to predict sizes and expenses for three years at a time. These are the same people who do Office 365 monthly rather than getting it baked into an EA.

  4. B is a thin film of (mostly, except for certain published wavelengths) transparent plastic. How does it use battery?

  5. It's funny that he treats "Let's Encrypt" as a legitimate business. His lawyers just face-palmed.

  6. You mean Windows NT 3.1, (you forgot 3.5,3.5.1), 4, 5.0 (2000), 5.1 (XP), 6.0 (Vista), 6.1 (Windows 7), 8, 8.1, and 10. The internal version numbers aren't clean but they're a lot easier for comparison.

  7. Computer Associates might take issue with your idea but the shifty looking operation running on us.com might be very happy. There's a reason .com.us exists. There's also reasons people found .au.com instead of .com.au shady.

    An internet doesn't have to use IP. Look at IPX sometime and get off my lawn.

  9. Re:Confirmed on Microsoft Auto-Scheduling Windows 10 Updates (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it asking for a password or is it asking for a Microsoft account? If it's the second hit the non-obvious "I don't have an email address" or similar and set up a local account. It's a different kind of MS BS but not to the level of ransom-ware.

    Copied, sorry researched from an article written in March or April.

  11. Re:Can we get them to remove other annoyances? on Microsoft Removes Wi-Fi Sense Feature From Windows 10 Which Shared Your Wi-Fi Password · · Score: 1

    I said telemetry, not spyware and I referred to a statement by Julie Larsen-Green the head of Windows Engineering.

    A pretty piss-poor effort on your part. 2/10

    The telemetry was in 8 from day 1. 10 wasn't even on the horizon. Such useful facts as 'People discover most features in the first 24 hours' were derived from this.

  13. Car analogy for the title. on Microsoft Overhauls SharePoint To Compete With Slack In The Mobile Era (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They're overhauling a worn-out semi-trailer to compete with a messenger bike. Then TFS doesn't say much about Slack features.

  14. It's a document storage / search system. Edward Snowden says it's really good. Even better when it's misconfigured.

  15. Re:I still have me BBC on One Million School Children To Get Free BBC Micro:bit Computers · · Score: 1

    Well, the little used Microsoft Windows comes with a couple. The scripting host does Basic of a sort. (VBScript) I prefer JScript if forced to use it. The 'absolutely part of the OS' browser does JavaScript even if you don't go for weird stuff like HTAs. PowerShell is great but GUIs take a bit of fiddling with XML.

    That's out of the box. There are other options for download.

  16. Re:Emulate the Raspberry Pi? on One Million School Children To Get Free BBC Micro:bit Computers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    From the summary - "will be handed, for free, a BBC micro:bit computer " and "The computer will hope to emulate the Raspberry Pi". Does that help?

  17. Emulate the Raspberry Pi? on One Million School Children To Get Free BBC Micro:bit Computers · · Score: 1

    This seems a bit anemic in comparison. It looks like it uses another computer or a mobile for user I/O.

    Yeah, but ROT-13 sucks for I18N and true geniuses use double ROT-13.

    Cat 3 offered same speed with retooling costs. Cat 5 allowed 100 Mbps so was a clear winner.

    "ubuntuBSD is inspired by the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD project"

    Is that in the same way as Ubuntu is inspired by the Debian project?

    It's likely because the Radar is active and requires the police to transmit thus reaching into the dwelling. Passive like thermal just requires them to sit outside and watch. Some lawyer is making money out of this.
