To me the line of argument that this was employee fraud, with an unaware management doesn't fly. All banks have large internal audit departments precisely for the purpose of catching internal fraud. This is a long standing thing in ba

To provide a counterpoint, I've been writing Technical reports in word for about 15 years, using it for about 20, works fine for most things I've seen. Like any complex program there are things to learn and quirks to get used to,

I think the, valid, concern mentioned in the original comment is that the notification of this is not prominent enough. Also Ideally I'd suggest you should be looking for informed consent before starting to gather information of this n

I think there's two possible problems with their strategy 1) ecosystem. the more co-operating products you have, the more likely you are to keep people in your ecosystem. There's been quite a few posts here about people who are&#

FWIW I like dnsimple . I've got domains on both services and I'll be moving my last stuff off dyn and onto dnsimple after this, no desire to be a customer of Oracle's.

Sure there are bad implementations, but the principle that you can fix this kind of problem is there, just need to give the manufacturers enough incentive to spend the effort to a) implement this process and b) get a compentent security rev

except for the lack of server-class hardware to run it on... AFAIK the mac mini is the closest they have in that regard, and it doesn't seem to be a core focus for them in terms of updates. I'd have thought most smaller companies

you must watch different media to me. Today is wall-to-wall Clinton E-mail stuff and little about Trump apart from him talking about Clinton's e-mail. The media go with what they think will get the most views/clicks/sales, t

that's hillarious. You asked the commentor for evidence of their claim, they provided it and you responded "ah well don't take it literally" So there's nothing they could've said which would be right there eit

and are you not a bit disappointed that the products you describe, Apple's desktop products, appear to have been totally ignored by Apple? No new iMac, Mac Pro or Mac Mini hardware announced, it seems like it's not a focus for the

it'll be years before the legacy peripherals are gone, would it have hurt Apple too much to include a USB3? So all the users of the product get years of inconvenience and expense for "courage" ... that's a word you could

ironically of course if you've got a new iPhone, you'll need an adapter to use the headset on the Macbook pro. The problem, to me, of the port selection is that it means pretty much every user is going to have to carry a selection

For me it would've been a win if they'd also included some other ports for backwards compatibility. Having only USB-C ports means that pretty much every user will have to have a set of dongles for things like USB2/3, HDMI, Di

TBH there's many cases where people sell things before actually having the capability to deliver them, as long as the customer gets the goods at the end of the day, I don't really see the problem. Heck if you look at the idea of K

Is that the FTTP on demand product? I've asked BT about that one and it looks like it's select exchanges only (even after FTTC has been rolled out), which is a shame as I'd happily pay for it. The only "superfast" o

sure, it's just that you said that even "high end" windows laptops didn't usually have better screens when from what I've seen pretty much all the top Windows laptop brands have high-end models with better screens.

So I've not tried enough windows touchpads to comment on that, but from what I've seen there's quite a few Windows laptops with higher res screens than 1080p e.g. Dell XPS 13 - can have a 3200x1800 screen Lenovo Carbon X1 - c

This page looks seriously out of date now, as a result its criticisms are inaccurate in a wide range of areas. To pick one in particular, Security. the claim that Docker doesn't know anything about AppArmor and/or SELinux just is

nor am I :) I'm suggesting that one of the perceived advantages of MacOS is that it's not tied to a heavyweight arduous Active Directory installation and that, in my book, there's not reason not to run Windows in exactly the

yeah I've got that noted in the blog post :) but it was really just an example. One of the things thats struck me about docker/Kubernetes etc is that they tend to be tuned for a general use case in terms of security and configur

I'd say inertia is a large factor but also risk aversion. Bank systems have to be very available (or they attract large fines) and so there's a tendency to stick with things that are proven to be robust even when they have other

Hi, I'd be very interested to hear if you've come across any good documentation on hardening Kubernetes? From what I've seen so far there's very limited documentation on that when compared to other components like Docker

I'm not so sure suing would help here, as who is suing who? The people who bought the IoT devices probably don't even know that their device has been hijacked in a lot of cases and therefore have no incentive to sue the manufactur

In an enterprise sure you need it for rights management, but then that's not really related to what the client OS is, you can run MacOS or Windows clients largely equally well if you're not using AD to centrally manage them.

by raesene6 10y ago
This very much chimes with my experiences of enterprise IT. The change is in throwing out the new platform and putting in a new one, not in what they old and new one actually are. I'll be interested to see if the waves of BYOD and lig

by raesene6 10y ago
But they could well be comparing a new BYOD MacOS environment to a old corporate legacy windows setup, which isn't really comparing the performance of the OS so much as comparing BYOD with old-school centrally managed windows domains.

by raesene6 10y ago
So it would sound like the answer is to improve the IT practices in use, rather than necessarily blame the underlying OS...

What I would say however is that some of those issue you mention are more about how organisations typically manage Windows systems than they are about Windows itself. Active Directory is a good example, there's no necessity to add a wi
