>> The release dates for these patches is not yet set in stone, but some are due today (20 April), some tomorrow (21 April) and the remainder on 24 April.

Da qwality goes in befo da name goes on, right?

>> But you'll still need some windows machines around if you plan to run those AD and SQL Server technologies.

Plus their server connection licensing is being changed so they can capture revenue from non-Microsoft platform connections.

>> Microsoft has evolved so much under Satya Nadella

That's a funny way of saying "your SQL Server and other Server pricing went through the roof"

The whole Microsoft "open source" strategy seems to be based on getting as many software applications and developers ("it's free!") to depend on the Microsoft crown jewels of AD, SQL Server and Windows Server (2012) as they can, and then squeeze cash (e.g., core pricing vs. CPU pricing) from IT departments as they try to build out a stable backend to support all these apps. That's Balmer's "developers developers developers" plan anyway...and I don't see Satya doing anything different yet.

This is a dup story, so here's my dup comment:

This topic might have warranted a video, considering it's a demo. It would sure beat all the "some dude talks about something for flipping forever" videos Slashdice keeps trying to dump on us instead.

Hmmm...this sounds like an intentional leak by HBO to me.

1) Story is out the day the season debuts
2 ) "Equivalent to standard-definition TV, not HD"
3) "Episode four ends on a heck of a cliffhanger"
4) HBO confirms leak but can't find the leaker

Anyway, meh. I'll still download the HD version of episode 1 tomorrow from some pirate site like 50% of the rest of GoT viewership - "standard TV" doesn't do it for me anymore.

LOGO turtles - here we come!

There are people with free time...

>> ...constructing a language capable of replacing English has fascinated me for a long time. I'd like to start a project with some of my own ideas and anyone who's interested... ....and then there are people with SERIOUS free time. My free advice: get a Linguistics degree and/or a girlfriend/boyfriend: itch scratched.

I guess they'll have to do it the old-fashioned way, then: sleep with someone who knows the secrets.

Who's going to see it if it's on network TV?

When I turned on CBS last night to watch the NCAA basketball I was amazed by the number of shows they pitched during the game that I've heard of - CSI:Cyber included. You really think it's hitting a young impressionable audience?

>> An editor for Network World....his account highlights the disruption and wastefulness these crimes inflict.

Or encourages other people to aim their hoaxes at other cities with high per-capita media, such as New York, LA, DC...in the hopes they get national attention too.

>> Commission Vice-President for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip said that "deep in my heart ... I hate geoblocking,"

What is this crap? "Search your feelings?" How about checking to see what the law says?

>> Günther Oettinger, worrying about protecting the European film industry

Protecting the what? Bah ha ha ha, er, yes, I'm certain there is a "European file industry." (Cough.)

>> "We must not throw the baby out with the bathwater."

Sorry, but you already did when you created the EU. And if the baby is digital access rights by country, everyone but film industry business types are quite ready to chuck that baby in the wood chipper.

No, wait. That came out wrong.

The real booth babes aren't on the floor at RSA. Go to the vendors' afterparties, or check out around in one of the creepy "party busses" prowling the city during RSA and you'll see where vendors have diverted their "women for hire" budgets.
