That's right up with Motorola threatening to go Windows Phone and begin patent trolling all it's Android rivals shortly before Google bought them. Dirty negotiating tactics to drive up the sale price. 
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?

The search goes on -- and on - for someone to take on Steve Ballmer's job. The latest word out of Microsoft: No announcement until early 2014. So, if that's not a new CEO wrapped up under the tree, what is it?

The DB-Engines site currently ranks Oracle as the top database, but it's losing ground to open source competition SELECT TOP 10 FROM sys_databases
|
|
|
|
|
MySQL is also Oracle 
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, but here they distinguish between databases, not the company. If only Oracle didn't ship Oracle, life would be less complex.

Look at the graph[^] from the source. Prior to last month the top 3 databases were all basically flat for a year. Last month they have every database except Oracle and MsSql ticking up; that's clearly a systematic change/glitch in their methodolgy not real data. Possibly they did it for click bait while racing tiobe to the bottom of worthless ranking generation...

Today, we released a new version of the Ajax Control Toolkit that contains several important bug fixes and new features. The new release contains a new Tabs control that has been entirely rewritten in jQuery. Lookitthat, they're still working on it (and now in jQuery)

The White House has named Microsoft's Kurt DelBene the point man in the government's quest to fix the much maligned healthcare.gov, according to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. DelBene is the president of Microsoft Office Division. Too many people (wrongly) think I'm anti-Microsoft, so I'll just say, "Good luck"

You have a problem with your government-run website and someone says "solve it with a Microsoft exec". Now you have two problems...
|
|
|
|
|
He worked on Office, so maybe the solution is, "Put a ribbon on it"

Nah, he'll introduce HealthCare Clippy.

I was going to say something witty but that HealthCare Clippy comment can't be bested. Well played, Pete O'Hanlon.

Technology is everywhere, and pretty soon you won’t be able to hide from it.
It sees you when you're sleeping, it knows when your awake...(oh wait no, that's Santa!)

A decade of patches makes svchost.exe a very sad boy indeed. Reason # 0x2A why you should upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
The problem happens only when you first boot the PC. Svchost brings the system to a crawl for about an hour, but then stops. So, a possible solution is to not reboot, but use hibernation.
|
|
|
|
|
Could be fixed, should be fixed, but probably won't be fixed until it is irrelevant...
|
|
|
|
|
They have until what April to fix/ignore it.

most likely something launched under svchost that is causing the problem. Not svchost.
|
|
|
|
|
Well yes, but as it can't launch any other way, it does mark a defect in the svchost architecture.

yes,
they should make it easier to see what junk is getting loaded into it and make it easier to kill it or stop it from starting to begin with.
Or just auto kill them after so many seconds and write the event to a log.
|

It also used to happen under Windows 7 when it was first released. To solve it, I would kill the offending svchost instance. I believe it had something to do with windows update.

I've been wondering if it extended beyond XP. Thanks for that data point.

Here’s the only thing that’s completely clear: The search for a Microsoft CEO has become a bit of a circus over the last few weeks. "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job"
