You might want to watch Cory Doctorow and read John Walker, to understand that the current UEFI implementation is just a first shot of the coming war on general computation. And I think we have to fight them early, before its to late.

You can not change the boot loader on ARM for Windows 8. And you likely can not change it for Intel for next Windows version.

Secure Boot might be a useful part, if everybody could add his own keys to his own board, and delete existing keys for Microsoft and others. But one has to pay to get his key signed by Microsoft. This is comparable to install own software o

I guess, because Microsoft now realized that they lost the age of internet, they lost the browser war, the search engine war, and the mobile phone war. They know that Windows 8 sucks that much, that people want to install Windows 7 or Linux

The digital imprimature of John Walker is even more worrying, as he saw this coming nearly 10 years ago. http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/digital-imprimatur/

I consider writing Digest for a 3rd time. The first time was a proof of concept in Perl, the 2nd time was product in Java for [name of customer deleted]. The 3rd version could be in PHP for the masses. Digest is not a normal search engine,

He is nitpicking on pharmacies, claiming that big chain model is better. But we have something called Preisbindung with both books and pharmacies in Germany, so the same book costs the same in every shop, with the result that we still have

TPC-A might be the easiest to implement (even if its no longer standard), if you have access to larger pool of client computers, e.g. at an university. The other TPC benchmarks might fit better, but they are difficult to impossible to imple

What formats do you offer? Especially, do you offer a MOD formats (1) or only streamed audio? Because better games prefer to sync with the engine, and separate spacial tracks with OpenAL. (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_%28file_format

One suggestion is to move the jquery from jquery.com to your domain for two reasons: 1: It will be one click less, for those who use noscript. 2: It will allow your site to survive the case that jquery.com changes anything, or goes down. Be

all true - but my unfair comparison was between the typical java enterprise dead horse, and a typical startup stack. I did not compare Java best practice for one reason: The enterprise bloat is how Java is perceived. Its not about why Java

imho, Java is a great tool when it is deployed for its original goal: Platform independent GUI clients. Unfortunate its now mainly used on the server side, where it fits badly. The main reason I'm not using Java on server side is memory foo

One note, is that common clause to disallow subletting is not legal in Germany. But the law in Germany has an other trap. You need to file a book, with passport numbers and name of your tenants, if you are running a hotel like business.
