Re: Job requirements

Actually Lync 2013 is already RTM. Still 2 years is a bit challenging.

Re: Job requirements

MCSE is a high level qualification that at that time used to require passing about 7 exams. Which were not easy. That's why MCSEs are comparatively rare and get paid a premium...

Re: Surprised me..

Server 2012 is not = Hyper-V.

Hyper-V is a seperate product that can be installed on it's own with no other operating system required.. (It can also be installed as an optional sevice on a 2012 Server)

Re: Surprised me..

nb - Hyper-V also includes for free shared nothing Live Migration, replication, software defined networking, etc in the standard product. Thats free as in zero license fee for the whole product.

Re: Serious question: Who cares?

Strange that Windows admins get so much better pay rates than Linux admins then if that were true. Oh wait, it isnt - there we go. Windows server market share is still growing massively - at the expense of UNIX.

nb - Powershell is also way head of anything used as a standard shell on Linux.

Re: Surprised me..

You havnt calculated correctly then. Hyper-V (totally free) + manangement tools (not that much) + support (less than VMWare) is vastly cheaper than VMWare.

Re: Disappointed?

"You may not like this, but MS's requirement protects Linux against being closed off." - it also makes sure it can still run Windows 7 as would be required by many corporates in the short term ;-)

Re: Secure Boot

But that is what happens - unless you have 'root' access as administrator.

Re: First vuln for Windows 8 already patched

Wrong - that vulnerabiity does not apply to Windows 8 RTM.

Re: I could ask the same

But you can visit a website with Linux and be compromised via Flash or Java vulnerabilities...There have been many kernel exploits that could then be leveraged...

The way software is distributed and the capbilities of the installer are far more advanced than anything on Linux - for instance package streaming. If you want to lock down software installs you can use App Locker, or you can block unsigned applications.

Re: That's not why hackers dislike Windows 8

I have never needed to install Cygwin on Windows. If I want to run legacy applications / platforms I just use Virtual Server or Hyper-V.

Powershell is more powerful and flexible than any standard UNIX or Linux shell code.

You clearly havnt bothered to find out how the signing process works.

You would likely find it easier to compromise other OSs before Windows via that method - this is similar to the Pwn to Own contest - and OS-X looses before Windows prettty much every year...

Re: Anti-virus

Sounds nice doesnt it, but unfortunately not true. Windows 7 ~ 200 vulnerabilities, OS-X ~ 1700 vulnerabilities, SUSE 10 ~ 3700 vulnerabilities. See secunia.org/

Windows has had fewer vulnerabilities that were on average less critical and were fixed faster than enterprise Linux distributions every year since 2003....

For reference even Windows XP only has about 450 known vulnerabiliites.

Re: Skeptical...

Don't worry - im sure Linux will be quick to copy these new features - just like so many other security features that were in Windows first - like proper ACLs for instance.

You pay them a percentage basis and you expect them to minimise that percentage?! Dream on...

Re: Wait a minute...

The phenomenon was caused by severe drought combined with farming methods that did not include crop rotation, fallow fields, cover crops or other techniques such as soil terracing and wind-breaking trees to prevent wind erosion.[1] Extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains in the preceding decade had displaced the natural deep-rooted grasses that normally kept the soil in place and trapped moisture even during periods of drought and high winds. Rapid mechanization of farm implements, especially small gasoline tractors and widespread use of the harvester-combine were significant in the decisions to convert grassland (much of which received no more than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year) to cultivated cropland.

During the drought of the 1930s, without natural anchors to keep the soil in place, it dried, turned to dust, and blew away with the prevailing winds

Was that from the Israeli weather forecast?

Re: "virtually no explanation other than climate change"

Only idiots argue about that these days. That is no doubt anymore that climate change is primarily man made, and this is clearly demonstrated by overwhelming observable evidence.

Re: Couple of $$$?

It probably includes coke and popcorn....

Re: re: iOS app permissions

In terms of vulnerabilities, Windows Phone is far more secure.

Statistics and research prove that in fact people who download more DO buy more.

COPYING IS NOT THEFT whatever sematics you use to try and make it so. Rinse and repeat until you understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeTybKL1pM4

Re: aka stolen

Right, but how is that relevant to THIS case? He is hardly a hardened criminal.

The "embezzlement" was actually for selling shares after hyping a company by saying he planned to invest more money in it - where he received a suspended sentence.

Re: Far enough the USA were Tards

How was he allowing access to anything stolen? The worst that was going on was copyright infringement, which is not and has never been theft.

Re: seems reasonable

But if the data is encrypted, you are not likely to have been aware of it's content.....

Re: That'll work.

How will they read an encrypted filename?

Re: That'll work.

No, it does work - until the they are notified of infringing content - which they can remove just like they used to.

What it protects them from is any requirement to police or inspect the content.

Re: There is very good advice in this article.

No it doesnt. I checked 5 laptops, 2 routers, 3 mobile phones and a WiFi card. No mention of the FCC.

Re: Swiaa Banking

But customers of those banks don't care about that. That's the whole point of using them....the same principle applies to Mega.

Re: still upbto their old tricks

But the 'bad software' was better than the competition. IE9 was faster than Chrome and firefox on release - and has had far fewer security vulnerabilities than either of them.

And now IE10 is also faster than the lastest Chrome and Firefox: http://www.neowin.net/news/ie10-is-8-faster-than-chrome-20-says-strangeloop
