What certification process? Driver signing does not need a WHQL certification and in fact, Microsoft isn't involved in the driver signing process at all. It's between you and which…

Driver signing and WHQL are two completely different things and are NOT related. Your SIGNED driver does NOT need to be WHQL certified.

And when those situations don't align? What then?

The bigger question is how exactly does Rand Paul and his constituents benefit from this? I'd like that question answered before I supported such a bill. Make no mistake, the right…

This person has it wrong. The following is true about the implementation of DNSSEC in Windows. * You can require DNSSEC validation to happen at both the server and the client. (via…

Quite a few people I know would prefer to travel on an American passport because it offers less hassle than most other passports. We have fewer VISA requirements, etc. We have some…

I've been strongly considering expatriating, either to Canada or even more exotic locations such as Dubai/UAE. I have no real intentions of breaking from the US as a citizen, but p…

99% of the time the people are not "talking shit about you". Why this is a very common thought in the US is beyond me. Perhaps fear? I learned enough Spanish to understand a few co…

This is a useless blog post. Firstly, how does he know the style sheet is conforming to the standard? He made no mention not comparison of this. And "IE being listed in updates" ha…

What would you 'avoid' it with? Grow your own food? In poisoned soil? What if you lived on extremely fertile ground but didn't have the time nor resources to support yourself? It's…

Could you describe some of these things? You don't have to be detailed, obviously; but is there anything that sticks out? Development processes were off? Requirements too crazy?

The interesting problem with "cyber security" in this country is that the field generally sucks, same with IT. The large problem is that none of it has bite. I work for a company t…

The limitations are listed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms74... - TCP data cannot be sent over raw sockets. - UDP datagrams with an invalid source …

Just as an FYI to the right wing nuts here, I actively voted for Obama knowing that internet rights would be an uphill battle. I followed Biden's tech trends over the years and kne…

Yeah, he lost me when he said "JUST CHANGE JOBS!" haha. It's easy when you've been handed everything in life and the best you work for is a measily odd job here or there, but that'…

You think 2.5Mbit is "not bad"? This is what's wrong with the country. 2.5Mbit is dogshit slow. Your freaking bluetooth wireless mouse is faster than that. Now think about that for…

Except wireless ISPs don't come close to the offerings of a copper connection, let alone the connectivity provided by a fiber connection. Harp all you want about how "awesome" wire…

Though I haven't read this specific bill, the philosophical point of having to collect sales tax in some form is a necessity. The money ultimately has to come from somewhere. Regar…

I think quite a few people are missing the point of this feature. This feature is not to 100% fully secure "OMFG" protect your account. This isn't like some super secret government…

Not so great when the shoe's on the other foot, is it?

I was thinking about this the other day when I was messing with .htaccess configuration for WordPress. Unfortunately there's a lot of stuff that relies on .htaccess capability. The…

I vote you up for pointing the obvious. It's not necessarily that this person is an "asshole", it's that they are heavily results-driven. What does being nice have to do with getti…

If you can't deal with criticism, GTFO.

^ This. I generally see most providers going this way.
