Scott Charney, of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing, said the government has "never" asked for a backdoor in Microsoft products. Yet a former engineer working on BitLocker claimed the government does ask, but those requests are “informal.” "On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea"

Meh, it's died before.  It still runs a lot of commercial enterprises (or so I hear).

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Business executives at many organizations may be unaware that the operating system is running their companies' critical business functions. That's the point. Actually, the money for keeping VAX alive is there - some managers just need to get aware of the problem. With nuclear power plants depending on it, the funds can be raised easily.
Also MUMPS still exists, after OpenM, it is now called Caché. Who did expect it to make it into this millenium?

I was offered a job with MUMPS 3 years ago. I had never heard of it, they even offered on the job training 
I got a better job instead.

Microsoft Corp appears to be the latest U.S. company targeted by China for antitrust investigation as government officials paid sudden visits to the software firm's Chinese offices on Monday. Are they worried about competition with that great Chinese operating system?

Continuing on that promise, and to celebrate our presence at OSCON 2014, we are delighted to announce support for another popular OSS technology - CMake. Sorry, I've got nothing funny to say about make tools. Is it even possible?

To Make or not to Make, that is the question. For the aspiring programming artist, the former is always the affirmative. Now with ever more options (and possibly a fork or two)...

$300 "Sharks Cove" board with Intel Atom CPU targeted at Windows developers. Not _that_ much smaller than micro ITX, but here you go

At $300 a pop I don't know many developers that will put out the dough for one of these compared to the Pi or BBB at < $50.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Yeah, I looked at that and saw little other than, "not very cheap SFF PC" (that you'd have to have a non-standard case for), but I figured I was missing something.

As I originally commented there (slightly reworded and expanded):
Looking at the menagerie of headers on that thing: Whatever marketing claims, it's clear that the real intent was to create something that could be used for early phase prototyping by anyone who wanted to make an x86 embedded system before spending money on a custom board design that had the minimal set of sensors/controllers/etc that they needed for their production system or that could be used for production runs small enough that a custom x86 embedded board would be more expensive than a kitchen sink model.

The tour takes in patio views of the main campus, Andrews office, the Microsoft Build Lab’s and has the crew showing off some of the Windows NT 3.1, 4.0 and 2000 plaques and team photos. Loads of high-speed walking, but an interesting look inside one of the older buildings with history a'plenty

Defrag tools is generally a pretty good show for those doing trouble shooting.
The last few episodes was dealing with creating a debugger extension in C or C++ ,they still have more to go to complete the extension.
