It's unfortunate to lose another implementation...and very telling about Microsoft. They'll spend infinite money (which they effectively have) to try to take a dominance position, but will give up if they can't be the top of

When I was in the Navy, they showed us that film as part of leadership training. Our instructors said the portrayal of discipline, leadership, and the burdens of command was perfect. Except for the very end, which they felt was a bad Holl

Sure. My system disk was Windows only, but I go to pretty extreme lengths to avoid reinstalling Windows. So after my latest system upgrade I had a UEFI system running off a MBR disk and some bad partitioning. This was a source for much a

You probably have the same problem I had, which is a slightly non-standard disk layout. Windows Update will fail without producing any meaningful diagnostics. It took me a lot of time and much effort to finally get past that and get my

This article from Bloomberg has the best and least clickbait reporting on the breach: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-09-29/the-equif... . While it's true that the breach entry can be attrib

Can't argue there. The rise of arbitration clauses has done a huge amount of damage to consumer rights.

That's proof of a security breach , not proof of "a complete disregard for the secure storage and transport of sensitive financial and PII of a large swath of the American public".

Just like the previous mention of Enron, Worldcom engaged in systematic large-scale accounting fraud. Very different from the Equifax breach situation.

Unless you work for them, you haven't seen any proof of anything, outside of the tiny amount of information revealed since the breach.

The difference was that in Enron's case it was clear criminal intent to defraud, as opposed to security failures. As far as "Congress literally passed a law to save Equifax from private lawsuits", what they did was part of th

Can your coworker trace the identity fraud to the Equifax breach? As opposed to all of the identity fraud that happened throughout the years before the breach?

There are companies that provide "Islamic" or "Shariah-compliant" mortgages. I don't understand the model, but they claim there's no interest involved.

CRA information gets used in any situation where there are payments over time, even if they aren't "credit" situations. Renting, getting utilities, etc.

by g051051 8y ago
How so? A CRA will just report that a loan is paid on time or not. If you can get an interest free loan, and you pay it as agreed, that'll get reported same as any other loan.

The global CIO resigned, but was never investigated or charged that I'm aware of. The CIO of the U.S. business unit was tapped to be the new global CIO, but he was fired for alleged insider trading, and then charged by the SEC.

Excellent! Sounds like some great improvements on top of an already amazing tool. I have to say that they've really come back from some serious missteps a few years ago.

I have this book, a pristine first edition, with maximum wrongness. It's pristine because I bought it when I started learning C in 1990, and never opened it after my first read through.
