Macthrope, what planet do you live on? Do you really think anyone will listen to drivel like this Poor Twitter, who doesn't understand satire. That part of post was designed just for you - to copy your style of FUD and bullshit manufacture and throw it right back in your face. The beauty of it is that you ended up with the same question that hundreds of people have asked you over the years but nobody really knows the answer to: Do you believe any of that? I mean really? Who thinks up stuff like that?
Finally, the kill switch I'm talking about are the ones present in both XP and Vista. [goes on to describe irrelevent scenario from/. article] Ah yes, the 'kill switch' that gives you ample time to copy your data off your machine, has only broken in the fashion that article described once in 7 years of computing, and even if you were stopped from accessing your OS, your data is still there. There are any number of tools you can use to get it back, including Linux-based ones. So, I'll ask you again - how is it a 'kill-switch'? Your computer is usable, your data is accessible, you just can't use Windows. I would have imagined you'd think that's a good thing.
Good call, genius. I said I was posting at 2 because it was relevent to showing you that I'm not a troll. You pulled out like a little prize you earned to try and one up me. Obviously, I was the one who got 'shut down' here, like it fucking matters. It's a conversation, not a contest.
Take whatever hollow victory you think you have and put it on your wall, I have better things to do.
Tell me more of this intriguing "kill switch" service that will separate me from the data on my desktop if ever the network should fail. I would, but there isn't one.
This is the kind of innovation I eXPect will fill future Vistas. My god, that's so clever! You noticed that two letters of 'expect' spell XP! Then you put them in capitals in the middle of the word so people would notice! Only one problem - what in the holy fuck are you talking about? There's no 'kill-switch' that you have so kindly described in XP or Vista.
Get a patent quick so that those free software communists can never be compatible with it. That's funny, I thought you already had your own kill-switch? It's a great one too - what happens is, when Linux starts getting too successful and starts to attract the attention of big business, it'll drive them away with a combination of insane licensing restrictions and the marginalisation of any and all pragmatists who seek to unite corporate interest with free software. Then, when it's market share has dropped back under 5% again, it'll return to a dormant state of mumbling zealotry.
It's really quite ingenious - in fact, I assume that you're merely a copy, licensed under the GPL with all the frothing source code intact!
Wow, your incredibly well-thought argument has swayed me! Time to burn my Vista DVD, reformat my computer and install Ubuntu!... No, wait, that was a lie. Sorry about that.
I'll do everyone a favour and actually link to all the comments on your journal. That way people can be slightly more informed as to how dedazo and I 'helped' you.
What I don't understand are his comments about input peripherals.
I mean, people are perfectly to use the WiiMote as a Bluetooth device on Windows, and Guitar Hero guitars work fine when plugged to a PS2-USB adaptor as an HID-compliant device. There's no limitation inherent in DirectX that stops these devices from working. Anyone remember the P5 Glove?
I never said that today's screw up was intentional. Maybe you should try to avoid using post titles like "It's planned" then? We might accidentally start thinking that you're acting in a duplicitous manner.
So apparently the name "Microsoft Office" is not unique enough that they can complain if people use something similar, but Open Office is totally unique and if Microsoft use any part of that it's confusing?
For your next trick, I assume you'll prove black is white and promptly be killed at the next zebra crossing.
Yet another twitter hate-fest with no facts, no proof, and no relevance whatsoever to the topic. I see you stopped replying to me when I made you look like a moron, which wasn't particularly difficult under the circumstances.
Seeing as I had a nice trio of negative mods all in a line I can see that calling you on your bullshit gives zealots a wakeup call - can't have all those people who know things educating people, can we? What's funny is, people expect that modding me down will shut me up. Fat chance. I earned my karma by being right. You earned yours by towing the populist line. I think that puts me clear in front of you from a moral perspective.
You keep posting this crap, and there'll always be someone like me to tell the truth, don't you worry about that.
By using the same URI Windows calls Firefox on Windows uses. Can I have this in English, please? I think you're trying to say that the 'firefox://' URI is a native Windows function, but it's not. Firefox registers it on install.
Those would probably be the ones downgraded by IE7 that created the problem in the first place How can you downgrade a URI? It's a handler. It passes whatever is in it straight to Firefox without being edited, which is why this problem is happening in the first place.
This explains why there was no problem before IE7 and the nebulous assertion that other "browsers and applications" have the same problem. Can you prove they don't? Run some tests for me. The people in the article have and they disagree with you.
Chances are that this is going to balloon out to anything web enabled on Windoze. Like what? Give me an example.
How can IE do the trick without Firefox installed? Why is Firefox accepting bad data via it's URI? Any application could be sending it that data, and it would have still accepted it.
Can you explain how this security problem would exist if Firefox wasn't installed?
So we can agree that "Vista is not really more 'inherently safe'" was wrong, then? I don't remember being required to give a certain quantity of security upgrades.

The term 'poopyhead' has been around for a lot longer than that. Does it make it any more or less mature?
it's just about OK to use it. But not much better than XP. Okay, so you're saying it runs about the same as XP if you turn off a lot of the things that business already turns off. Seeing as Vista is inherently more secure than XP, then wouldn't it therefore make sense to make a push to Vista?

Yeah, these are on the websites, not in any operating system you use.
Do you maybe want to re-read the story? I don't think you understood it.

Wow, you just brought out a whole new level of 'I don't care'.
Yeah, I must be a troll ID, what with me posting at 2 by default... or maybe, just maybe, you can't take a joke? I wonder which it is...
It's really quite ingenious - in fact, I assume that you're merely a copy, licensed under the GPL with all the frothing source code intact!
Worth a shot, though.

Didn't you already write about this?

Yes, I know that's a quote.

And yet this problem would be solved if Firefox didn't register a URI at all. Or it actually vetted data that was passed to that URI.
Surprisingly it's not a problem if Firefox isn't installed.
The pity the kind of closed-minded idiot who would willingly throw aside something that works because of his own personal ideology.

You might want to do some research: Here is as good a place as any.
