It doesn't matter. Ignorance of the law and all that... but I suppose that only applies to us little people.

Not sure why this is trending on HN (and without any comments or discussion). TBH, its reads like a Sokal Hoax and seems like gibberish to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair

So its now "childish" to reject mass surveillance and government backdoors to encryption and expect the FBI, et. al. to defend "national security" within the constraints of the constitution? What is he supposedly defend

Its just a modernized version of Platonism.

Platonism and Kantianism are still alive and strong in Western thought.

I'd say if others are experiencing the same issues and there is no easy fix (do a search for baking HP printer motherboards at 350Deg for 12 minutes or fixing a Brother printer error with scotch tape) then it is toast. It sounds like

Clay Shirky's article "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable" explains one reason; we are still in the middle of the greatest social and political disruption and revolution since the invention of the printing press. http:&

More good news. Moving to Linux soon.

I never trusted these devices and unless mandatory I opt out. If one of these systems gets hacked and the encryption is poor now my fingerprint image scan or data points is irretrievably in the wild. A few years ago my gym installed finger

My journey was a little atypical. I rode in college decades ago because the parking situation in my college town was dire. After college the need was gone so I stopped riding. I recently picked it back up for recreation and joined two moto

I wouldn't be so blase. First, that was all true BEFORE Microsoft made Windows a marketing platform so all bets are off now. Also, that decision (what is safe and not safe) is not up to the regulated business to make, its up to the reg

I think Nadella has probably explained his long-term strategy to the board clearly and that it might take a while, even past 2020, so his job is not at risk. I agree that 2020 will be a critical year because companies will have to decide t

Some people are down voting you but this is true. What is different about Microsoft is they are changing the terms of the relationship with Windows 10 whereas with Apple and Google it was always like this.

I agree with eximius and would add that special versions (or treatment) available to the DoD, banks and other large orgs who have clout is clearly not what I was talking about. Also, my point with Win7 is the that, unlike WinXP, the termina

2020 is my drop-dead date. I have some older XP laptops that I shutdown that I want to use to experiment with Linux. If things go well I might jump ship sooner.

Win7 has been slow since Win10 release. Personally, I don't think that was an accident.

by dmfdmf 10y ago
FWIW, I am done with MS, I don't want to be the product. Win7 is my last MS OS so I am moving to Linux in 2020 unless Win7 support is extended.
