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. SGX) are also protected from admin/root sno

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 TEE available right now. Also, how is Google dealing with PRM

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 | challenge). If you want the gory details, check out MS-NLMP. T

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

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 address! My wife called and tried to do the right thing,

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 product that acts in different ways.

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 are people to actively work to ensure you're not

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 feels like Bing was created to annoy Google

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 frustrating when doctors/nurses/PAs ask me a

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 they can explore other internal options before lea

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 artifact of overly large solutions. If you've inherited

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 I checked, stuff like blue foam board needs to be used

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 author helped me better understand where he's coming fr

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/forum/ie

Too bad most of iCloud isn't even on Apple's DCs: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/02/icloud_runs_on_micro... I'm not sure what all they use, but much of their storage is still done by msft and amzn. I do not believe this has changed

Doh! That site is blocked by the msft corp firewall. And here I was going to test it for you.
