If you're admin, you might have to install a driver to scrape all memory. So... one hoop to jump through :) Caveat: you're still trapped in your hypervisor partition. Enclaves (e.g…

Does this all hinge on EPID? So will cloud workloads have to phone home to Intel for assertions to be satisfied? My question is built on the presumption that SGX is the only real T…

Just to clarify the article a bit: Your password hash is not sent over the wire. What is sent over the wire is the NTLMv2 response message. This, simplified, is: HMAC_MD5(Hash | ch…

Driver Verifier is the main one I've used. It's pretty awesome. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff...

In a row?

You still need delete for some things. Smart pointers are not a panacea.

They are completely unrelated products, except for branding. Yeah, I know. Sigh.

This is the burden of having firstlast@popular.com email address. Once, my wife had someone setup some sort of financial account with her email (CC, IIRC). They didn't verify the a…

Hrm... I wonder if you're missing a fw update, perhaps? I've got a SP3, and though it can get warm, it's not worryingly so. The fan kicks on when it should and does its thing.

I always felt it was odd that Notch bashed Windows 8 so publicly for the store, yet happily sells on iOS, XBox, PS3, etc.

"OneDrive for Business" is a branding disaster, as it creates a completely rational link in people's minds that it's the same as OneDrive. In reality, it's a completely different p…

How many of these have gotten new server keys? How many have invalidated all prior session ids and cookies? I have a feeling heartbleed will haunt us for a while.

"High quality" in close proximity to "calories" is another sign of woo.

Calling the data gathering intrusive is a bit of a stretch. Considerable efforts are made to ensure you're anonymized and personally identifiable information is not gathered. There…

Definitely. Though I often wonder how much Google's apps strategy is a direct-compete with office for now? I have a sneaking suspicion it's similar to Microsoft's Bing strategy. It…

Unless you're adopted and you want some sort of information where you have none. In that case, isn't it prudent to attempt to gather data on your genetics? It's extremely frustrati…

I've actually seen one person move after a 5. A poor data set, admittedly. It does happen, though.

Yes, but there is no forced curve fit. A healthy organization will always "manage out" people who are not fit for the job. At Microsoft, folks are given the hint early enough that …

Any Stack ranking using a Bell curve would be dumb. Nobody I'm aware of does that. Most curves look more like a Chi Square Curve, which is far more top heavy.

Support for large projects/solutions was greatly improved. VS2012 added deferred loading for some items so you can open and get into code faster. Of course, this is purely an artif…

if post.containsOneOf({"windoze", "M$", "winblows"} return TrolLOL

So... plastic + blue foam + blue foam + plastic. This sounds extremely flammable. Are any of your materials actually code-rated for a living structure (as you're using them)? Last …

That pretty much sums it up. The 8.1 changes, so far as I can tell, are bugfix/stability changes. The article feels like click-bait to me. The little blurb on zdnet about the autho…

I don't think it's font scaling. It's a fundamental change to the font renderer. Basically, subpixel rendering is gone and it's all grayscale. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie…

It looks pretty, but I'm already having nightmares about stepping through this in a debugger.
