  1. Comment - Gates Touts Xbox as Entertainment Hub

    The original XBox was based on a Windows OS.

    Each system has their own OS it is running... the difference is, everyone looks at the XBox worse since it's run by MS.

    There is no difference. An additional menu doesn't hurt an XBox as it's fixed hardware.

    That though is incorrect, as recent FireFox vulnerabilities have been used as "Cross-Browser" exploits to exploit IE bugs through FireFox.

    Because just now the regulators told them they would now need a second franchise.

    I do not see how changing the wording of the law to say that if the service runs through the same infrastructure already installed to provide previous services, then there would be no need for a second franchise..

    like cable companies, they use the same wires but don't need a second franchise.. I guess internet isn't a high end service?

  4. Comment - Opera 8 Web Browser Launches

    (Apr 19, 2005 - 11:05 AM)

    Nothing big.. but as I used to use Opera long ago, thought I'd give it another try.

    Well my default webpage, which is an internal web server requests your windows credentials to authenticate to the server.

    FireFox and IE work ok doing this.

    Opera only says "The server requested a login authentication method that is not supported."

  5. Comment - Criticism Flies After MS Flaw Disclosure

    So you think that "24 hours" is plenty of time for a company to research something and respond back to you in an educated way?

    There is no way that a company can respond to you in 24 hours and know exactly what kind of problem this is. Perhaps they can't replicate the issue on their end.. maybe it takes them 26 hours of time to replicate the issue, but by then you've already issued your security bulletin.

    How is this fair to the company? They have an auto-responder to tell you their server received the message.. to expect a human response within 24 hours from a place like Microsoft who is bombarded with millions of emails a day is absolutely asinine.
