I think the two main things such a thing could bring to the table is graphical "familiar" (for the windows admin) administration. Something that abstracts the files. That and a free RDP interface would be nice.

I wonder how practical ReactOS could be as a small business server? With Microsoft's changes in Licensing, it seems there's a demand for an OS as straightforward as Windows, obviously with some degree of compatibility, but without

Chrome didn't win. Android did. The proliferation of Android devices with Chrome is where that popularity is coming from. Ironically, had FirefoxOS been a success, we'd probably see a very different graph. Safari shows up for the

I've been in the UK pentesting market since the closing of the dotcom days, and run a small boutique pentesting outfit. In all honesty, this is not an industry you want to build a company around. There's a lot of smaller players t

I think I get where you're coming from, but the two situations are really unlike each other. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

This is insane and will not end well. I suspect it'll not be nearly as damaging as it should be for the US, though.

Funnily enough my new hardware startup was looking at getting PCBs manufactured at the same Sony factory as the RPi a few months back. We don't really have the volume for it yet so are using a fab in Newbury, Hampshire for now.

No, nothing like Crimea. The Falkland Islands were British territories in 1982 when Argentina invaded. The Crimea was Ukrainian territory in 2014 when it was Annexed by Russia.

1. The Falkland Islands are British territories. They are British because the population are British citizens and have repeatedly made it clear they wish to remain so. 2. The UK has never gone to war with the Falkland Islands. Argentina inv

I've little to add to this, other than the point that the UK's IP Act allows GCHQ (and other UK government agencies) to abuse this issue individually or en-masse against anyone, anywhere, more or less at will. That's the worl
