   I swear I just saw a pig flying across the sky. What is going on in Microsoft? Have they finally seen the light? First today comes SQL Server on Linux and now this. It makes a refreshing change. Long may it continue.

   I believe that you were facing the reality of living the 6 months of an agonising slow death in a cancer hospice, you might change your narrow minded opinion.

   The one thing that really bugs me about Skype recently is that it refuses to remember my login. Every time I want to login to the Windows app after a restart or update it doesn't log me in automatically. There isn't even a "r

   I had a similar situation whilst working at a PC manufacturer. The underlying reason was due to a number of colleagues starting a company on the side. More specifically, we had registered a company to do some web development for a "Mom

   Whilst the BBC is supposed to be non-biased, it is funded by public money. The BBC has to tred carefully around the government and make sure it doesn't upset whoever is currently in power. http://rightdishonourable.com/

   Back in 2000, the UK government introduced the widely criticized "Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000". It was even heavily criticized in the House of Lords, but still made it through to Royal Assent on the 28th July 2000.

    I can't see how any sharing of EU citizens data with US corporations is not going to involve the NSA either directly or indirectly, via it's proxy states. The only safeguard to privacy is encryption, specifically where the corpora

    Technically a computer is already controlling modern cars, just not steering it. Similarly, any modern passenger jet is doing the same and steering it. It can even land without the pilot's help. We have already passed over the torch to

    Whilst many people would see your comments as tinfoil-hattery, the point is an interesting one. There is obviously no proof that the president has been blackmailed by the NSA. However it is not outside the reasons of their capabilities to h

    If like to vote this up. I think that all of us (as individuals) would like a 'lite' version of this. I want my domain to pass all those checks, and have 2FA protecting my account, but I don't care about the multiple permissi

    For small companies it is simple enough these days to have someone install WordPress, buy a theme that looks pretty good for $18 USD and you're good to go. It might be a buggy insecure platform, but for non-tech savvy users it's b

    Didn't Xamarin compile the C# to native? Isn't this an apples to oranges comparison?

    This. MS want .Net to run on all platforms. Give developers awesome tooling for free. Let them build. When they deploy, pay for Azure. It has an ongoing usage cost. Xamarin is just part of their tooling.

    This might not be the ops problem but the following solved this for me. I had used a bunch of firewall rules to block ads. Inadvertently that blocker blocked key IPs and domains that Skype requires to make group calls and chats. Switching t

    It was just an observation that Ozzies seem to get screwed by both corporations and their own government these days. 95% I plucked out of my head, as an extreme percentual screwing value! :-)
