Living Room / Re: Google “Project Zero” hopes to find zero-day vulnerabilities before the NSA
« Last post by rgdot on July 16, 2014, 07:39 PM »
We can be pretty certain that if NSA is in bed with Google it has already happened. It won't start with Project Zero, in 2015, 2020, or year whatever in the future.

Generally, not on DC, you can't believe the number of times people dismiss electric cars when I talk about it. Casual conversations or otherwise.

Living Room / Re: WinXP is officially dead!

I meant I wouldn't blame MS and others for not wanting to support XP anymore. No matter how good or bad 7 or 8.
-rgdot (June 11, 2014, 08:24 AM)

I can understand Microsoft not wanting to support it, since they are not going to make any more money from XP if they do or don't, so they might as well not, and push XP users into upgrading and putting more money in their pockets. That does make sense.

What I don't understand is 3rd party developers that make their money off supporting their apps running on whatever platforms their customers are using. If there are still a large chunk of people running XP, why turn them away from buying and using your software, by not supporting XP? Flushing all that cash down the toilet is kind of self-defeating, don't you think?

If you produce a new product for something "new" (Windows 8 for example) you have more pricing flexibility.

The time to criticize MS (and by extension those who build MS tools) for dropping XP support is long gone. The inferiority of any successor doesn't make it ok to expect extended support. If the successors are poor, find an alternative. If alternatives don't exist hold your nose and move to that inferior successor.

I thought Windows 7 is a much better OS -
do you not?

... or are you thinking of 8?

V The TV movie and subsequent mini series (later remade a few years ago) was good fun.

Even my mother's non-smart phone is newer than XP and she's had had it 'forever'

Are personal users using Truecrypt containers in communication or in the cloud (email, Dropbox, etc.)? If not and using 7.1a on a local network - or in more 'paranoid' case on an offline computer - then I agree with

To my mind the best alternative to Truecrypt is ... Truecrypt.

If an equivalent arrives more power to those creating it and they will most likely have me as a user.

That alleged conversation doesn't explain the abruptness.

I have seen/read Gibson criticism on more than one occasion, whether that includes making up stuff who knows.
