    It would help if the people who were different weren't complete nutjobs (i.e. Ron Paul).

  2. Re:They're a business on Microsoft To Support CentOS Linux In Hyper-V · · Score: 1

    We have dozens of Windows servers running in Hyper-V. We used to have more, until some manager got it into their head to sign up some high-priced consultants to move us to a VMWare platform at a cost ranging up above a million dollars. Guess which sector we're in.

    Few thousand dollars? We ended up spending half a million dollars on ours.

    You're referring to Terminal Services. Unfortunately that actually does incur extra costs on top of Windows CALs themselves, but Microsoft can do deals for charities. It's unlikely to be free though, but I honestly can't think of anything close to it on Linux barring remote X (which at least has the advantage of being free, though harder to set up).

    Anyone ever told you you're an arrogant, condescending douchebag? Frankly, it's none of your fucking business who any person wants to conduct business with, and if anyone deserves to suffer it's a jerkwad who thinks that just because a person chooses to deal with Sony (possibly because they don't give a shit about OtherOS or George Hotz) then they are apathetic fools deserving of righteous suffering.

    Why leave it there? It's pointless and irrelevant. It's like saying that because my superannuation scheme has shares in Microsoft and/or Google, I'm personally responsible for everything they do.

  14. Re:Wow on Facebook Admits Hiring PR Firm To Smear Google · · Score: 2

    That would be me. Fuck Microsoft and its shitty OutFuckingLook. I've wasted 3 weeks of my life because of that piece of shit.

    Outlook may be crap, but the alternatives are worse (eww, Thunderbird! And holy crap is Apple Mail awful).

    1) Can't *COPY* a piece of mail, have to move it. So I have to export the mailbox in order not to screw with the user's mailbox.

    Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Not exactly rocket science.

    2) exporting a 2Gig file out of outlook can take 1 whole business day.

    About 30 minutes here. Can I work at your company with 30 minute days?

    3) Hell, syncing a 2G mailbox from sexchange can take 1 whole business day.

    Same as above

    4) why is there no tools to convert from OST to PST?!

    It's called "Export". Or copy/paste.

    5) And how do you export to PST? File -> Open -> Import -> Export to a file. WHAT THE FUCK?

    File > Import and Export.

    6) Indexing sucks more ass. I have a quad core 16Gig system. 1% cpu utilization. But NOOOOO, MICROFUCK MAKES IT SO THAT I HAVE TO WAIT ONE WHOLE FUCKING DAY FOR THE INDEXING TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND WITH NO WAY TO INCREASE PRIORITY.

    Agreed. Indexing sucks. My Outlook data STILL isn't indexed, and it's been installed for over a year.

    7) OK, now all done. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SEARCH MENU? OH, IT'S PLAYING FUCKING HIDE AND SEEK. You have to click on the search box, then the fucking search menu pops up (so that I can find out what is the current indexing status)

    Search sucks. You'll get no disagreement from me.

    8) Really, Microsoft, is it SO FUCKING HARD TO MAKE IT AN OPTION TO MAKE SEARCH ALL SUBFOLDERS THE DEFAULT? I'M IN THERE *SEARCHING* FOR SHIT. Why WOULD I NOT WANT TO SEARCH ALL THE FUCKING SUB FOLDERS?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MORONS!

    Couldn't agree more, bar all the expletives.

  15. Re:Rescind their license if really worried about i on TwitPic Will Sell Your Photos, But No Cash For You · · Score: 2

    Could be an issue. I can almost guarantee that the ToS explicitly says you grant them an "irrevocable worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free" license to the content. Key word bolded. They could sue you for breach of contract if you attempt to revoke their license without a material breach on their part first.

    (Disclaimer, not a lawyer, but do read laws when bored or pissed off at businesses/the government).

  16. Re:Questioning on Apple Discusses iOS Privacy Issues Before Congress · · Score: 1

    All apps, even side loaded ones, invoke the permissions prompt when installing and enforce the assigned permissions. This would not, of course, be applicable to rooted phones unless the custom ROM also enforces this.

  17. Re:Questioning on Apple Discusses iOS Privacy Issues Before Congress · · Score: 1

    Android, however would need to reassess their Quasi-Open, Wild-West-style Android Marketplace to combat User Privacy issues. Apps aren't sandboxed away from the Location APIs like in iOS, so Google have no control over whether a users location is being tracked or not. Malware could be installed on an Android that tracks location and the User wouldn't know. Google haven't even come out and stated that they aren't tracking devices.

    Attempting to access the Location API without having declared that you want that permission (and therefore the user being asked during installation) results in SecurityManager denying your request. Have you even looked at an Android device?

    Not really. Ultimately, WebKit is KHTML. It has been drastically altered over the years, but at its core it still contains KHTML code. It's certainly closer nowadays to being a whole new beast, but frankly that's because Apple doesn't release patches upstream.
