Not dead yet: Microsoft, founded 40 years ago as of April 4, is still making some surprising strategic moves. Coming soon: the mid-life crisis

The reasoning behind the change is to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings due to new World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards regarding DNT. So...letting companies track you is OK for privacy now?

Yes, unless the end user explicitly opts out. That's the W3C's definition of DNT, not Microsoft's.

In this case though I think Microsoft had it right - enable DNT by default. This protects the average user who doesn't know to enable it, while still allowing people to opt in should they choose.

Agreed. They were forced to change it to abide by the W3C definition.
Although I suppose one could argue that the Windows express installation process should ask the user to select their DNT choice.

Except that all the ad-scum forced the W3C/MS's hand to require explicit opt out by ignoring the DNT header from IE by calling it not a user choice.

DNT is a joke anyways. Websites can happily ignore it.

Right tool for the right job, but chances are the right tool is Java. Don’t choose a language because you want to try something new: it’s going to be a maintenance nightmare. "I speak 23 different languages, pick one"

Are you really sure, that it is a good idea, mixing languages like that? You can not imagine, the chaos it might be, if people starts playing dumb.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The beta release marks a very significant “state transition” in the move towards 1.0. In particular, with the beta release, all libraries and language features that are planned to be stable for 1.0 have been marked as stable. I'm all out of "Rust Never Sleeps" quotes, fill in your own.

You what else you find a lot of in a stable?

The idea is that open source software, by virtue of allowing anyone and everyone to view the source code, is inherently less buggy than closed source software. Given enough money, people don't care about bugs

It's listed as simply an "Update for Windows".
I do not consider the installer for another operating system to be an "update". Why are they being deceptive about it? What are they hiding?

Maybe they know something about Windows 7 and 8 that we don't?

I guess that explains what the optional DL patch I saw when booting up my travel laptop for the first time in a few months last Friday was.

A new report at the behest of the Belgian Privacy Commission has accused Facebook of breaching EU laws by continuing to keep a tab on the browsing movements of users through social plugins, regardless of privacy choices or account status. "It's not paranoia if they're really after you."

Y'know, sooner or later, the Yanks are going to stop bitching about EU interference in Interweb matters, and start wishing that they had the same kind of people looking out for their interests.

No, our favorite radio station. What if family of Bob is trying to contact?
