You cannot crack 256 bit AES. It's. Not. Possible.
Not true, just nobody has figured out the attack for it yet! At one point in time the Ceaser cypher was "unbreakable". As long as the original data can be brought back, the cypher can be broken. Why do you think
people are always trying to figure out better encryption schemes?
Is it just me or is every article on/. that mentions Microsoft tagged with fud, lies, traps etc.
It seems stupid to have tags if they are always going to be the same nonsense.
Desktops are cheap these days. Would it kill him to keep one or two around for "kicking the tires" of new Operating Systems?
This is one of the major benefits of having a virtual pc. Make a sandbox so that you can have a working system still, but have the capabilities to run beta software and try out new features. Heck, combine the 2 ideas and have one PC setup to do ONLY vm type applications!
How novel. How can any serious technologist not get this concept yet.
Hate to break it to you but there are other BSDs out there that are "Free" and "Open", if you really wanted BSD you could have gotten it cheaper and easier, I think you went for shiny.
As a cross platform developer I would way rather have one machine with VM's but as a second choice I would rather have completly separate machines. I will NEVER dual (or more) boot. There is no reason in this day and age to have to reboot just to load a different OS.
Does the rent-a-coder have an obligation to look beyond the color of his client's money, and into the content of his character?
Sounds like the Clerks argument about the contract workers that were killed during the construction of the second death star.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't do some punk kid's homework, no matter the price. If he/she can't/won't do the work, there is no way I'm going to put my job at risk letting these leeches skate by in their degree program and try to take my job when they are done with school. On top of that it gives the field a bad name when graduates who are supposed to know how to do the work simply can't. It defets the purpose of me working hard and getting my degree when some asshole can just pay a few bucks and get a degree.
Any "OFFICIAL" backdoor from MS would have a much more complex key to get in than "1"
I seem to recall that to install one of the older versions of windows you could use the cd-key of all 1's, that could possibly be interpreted as a back door no more complex than "1"

In a well designed web front end there should be as little business logic as possible. This way the front-end coding is reduced and replacing your web interface down the road with another front end becomes easier.
I totally agree with this, it is the best development scheme you can do for yourself. As a corollary you can also write multiple front ends, i.e. web based for quick deployment, and a rich client for in-house power use.
One nitpick, the Range Rover was developed in the '70's and the humvee in the '80's (the military version, the civilian version obviously came after) so there is no way the Range Rover was England's answer to a now civilian version of a U.S. military vehicle that was developed a decade later...
As a developer I can't stress how important it is to know multiple mainstream languagues. Java and C# are very similar syntactically so that is a big bonus for you! I don't know about your neck of the woods, but there are many more development jobs in my area for doing.Net development than linux, but I have done both and I have been equally satisfied with either platform.
It would behoove you to know the major languages on each side of the fence so as not to limit your potential jobs in the future. (sidenote: I know that both languagues are used in both windows and linux and more for java, but the message here is not to be language dependent)
Once you are firmly entrenched in one of the platforms I would look to specialize, but as a graduate you have no hope of competing against people who have been in the field for many years. Your best bet is to be flexable for the time being and see where opportunities the take you.

Since when does changing an 'r' to a 'pedia' give you more international feel?
Somehow using the word "pedia" and "feel" in the same sentence seems wrong, especially "international feel".

Perhaps they were fed up with using Constantinople Desktop Video Recorder and feared the upgrade?

IMHO, Windows ME support should have been dropped before Win 98
I totally agree, as far as I'm concerned ME is malware.
Now, it's time to kill Windows ME.
This whole article plays out like an episode of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer....
Technology is new and scary, it is so strange and it might eat me. WTF!
I bet it was really ninjas.
Or Perhaps it was the monkeys showing an underdog triumph!

No PCs, no Windows--ever. All Mac, all the time.
PC = Personal Computer A Mac is a PC.
I use OSX because it is based on BSD

Burglars couldn't get into your house if you had no doors or windows.
If Santa can get in, so can burglars!

I don't want to buy hardware. I have hardware.
I agree, make it available for use in a VM and I might give it a try. Reboot is for suckers!
So if I did my super swell math correctly 3.3 Million to 1 Billon is .33%
Not what I would call a great savings. That is just a drop in the bucket for these companies, they probably spend more on office supplies.
