Bold stance: Microsoft says terrorism is bad

Re: Good luck

yes but I dont think conspiracy theory websites count as sources, do they?

why rely on fact and evidence when you can stir up a good old pot of fear and uncertainty?

Re: What about Azure (and AWS for that matter)

indeed. The terms of service for AWS and Azure and probably a lot of other cloud providers are extremely dense and hard to digest without some sort of legal representation at your side.

but the gist of it comes down to this - if you host something illegal on their platform, or something they object to, it will get taken down PDQ. I have heard tales of organisations in the middle of a DDOS trying to put parts of their infrastructure out onto AWS to mitigate the attack, only for Amazon to 86 the whole account within minutes.

Re: Scared Sh*tless with W10 updates

you put a machine that people rely on in business on the fast ring? i.e. you signed that machine in to Microsoft's Windows Insider Program and are now complaining that you keep getting updates that break things?

Are you really that surprised?

Get it off the Fast Ring by signing out of the Insider Program - which I might add is not something you do by accident, its quite an involved process in the first place to enter the credentials to do this!!

Re: Details would be welcome

I get what you are saying, it helps foster innovation. But this is only innovation on Googles terms.

it makes much more sense for an organisation or company to go out there with the idea of beating Google at their own game instead of feeding from their table scraps.

They take to it later, but when women FLOSS, they mean it

Pint

another interesting thing is that us women tend not to have these competitions between whats "best", you know the Windows or Linux thing.

Granted, we are less likely to be drinking our bitter from a dimple mug at the end of the day, and the bitter is more likely to be wine (because it is essentially a fruit juice), but we do have things to say about IT as well as just work in the industry.

Mads Torgersen and Dustin Campbell on the future of C#

selina.davis

If Microsoft plays their cards right, they may end up with a case for continuing to use c# for a considerable amount of time.

As someone else mentioned on this thread, its getting more Delphi like all the time, not a bad thing either..
