What it means is that this chain of exploits is about to become exceptionally popular as Microsoft can't fix them, thereby ensuring that soon even the least knowledgeable of script kiddies will be able to gain access to systems on which they're not welcome.

Having done zero reading on the topic, is that a possibility? I have complete agenesis of the corpus calossum so if this could be used to grow said corpus calossum into my brain, I would be forever grateful to the doctor(s) who made it possible.

Submission + - Are wireless analog headsets a thing?
Tolkien writes: Once again, I'm in the market for a new headset with mic and I'm tired of having to replace them because of the wire getting continually twisted and tangled to the extent that the headset just stops functioning, is there such a thing as a wireless analog headset? If not, do any of you have ideas on how I could make some? I don't want to purchase a USB headset because they make switching between audio outputs (speakers or headset) an unnecessary annoyance.

Tolkien writes: From the page:
'The traditional publishers don’t believe in PC or Space Sims. Venture Capitalists only want to back mobile or social gaming startups.
I say they’re wrong. I say that there is a large audience of PC gamers that want sophisticated games built for their platform. And inside this audience, a significant group of people that have always loved space games, and if given a quality one again will be happy to play it.'

My money is on the following:
Microsoft renames Skype to Microsoft Windows Live Speech, Text and Image Communicator in 2015
Microsoft ends Linux support for the Skype client which won't have been updated in 4 years (2017)
Microsoft announces they're replacing the underlying codec technology of Windows Live with it (hopefully, because Microsoft's sucks by comparison) later that same year (2017).

Submission + - Can I record one channel while watching a different one using Videotron cable?
Tolkien writes: I've been thinking of building a PVR for a long while now but haven't begun because I'm stuck on one question.
The current situation is that I can't record one channel while watching another like I could with my old VCR years ago. I want this to be possible again without having to pay for two cable subscriptions, so given a standard cable box as source provided by Videotron (in Quebec, Canada), can I make this happen using a custom-built PVR? How can I go about doing that?
I'd love any tips or information this great community could provide, thanks!
