Did you forget to tie it down again?
Reckon I saw one floating around not 5 minutes back.

Some of the approved projects include KeePass, 7-zip, VLC Media Player, Drupal, and FileZilla. How will they work fines into this?

It's used by an incredibly large number of people (even I use it, to change encoding), so it ranks quite high on the threat scale.

I use Notepad++ daily; it's typically open all day. I just don't see it rising to the potential threat level as other items on the list, especially given its pretty stable history.

Well, it can't hurt to get a few more eyes on it.
OpenSSL was a shocker.

I'm actually quite impressed by the list of apps they've selected; they're certainly among the most-used open-source apps out there. I'd be surprised if most CP professionals didn't have or use at least half of them, so it can't hurt to have people and companies actively looking for errors and vulnerabilities in them.
Overall, I've got to say that I'm pretty happy with the way the EU "governs" computer issues, compared to every other interfering busybody, legislative and otherwise, in the world.

And people said Richard Stallman was crazy...
Really though I'd be surprised if Google isn't already doing this.

Hmm. It appears that blogs.windows.com will only allow users of window 10, windows 8, and windows mobile devices to opt out of their data slurping.
Given that this is in breach of European law, I have opted to block the site from my intranet.

Yes, but as cited by others that made comments in that article, I am annoyed that they didn’t consider the legions ofdevelopers that are maintaining legacy systems for increasingly long periods because companies don’t want to spend the money to rewrite their apps.

What about COBOL? So far as I am aware, Microsoft has never had a COBOL compiler.

COBOL devs are still needed. That means legacy MS framework devs will be needed for years to come. However, if MS deletes all of their docs for these legacy frameworks, where will the legacy devs go for assistance? That's right the same place the COBOL devs go.
So, COBOL.

So far as I can tell, Microsoft has never deleted anything, though they frequently mark documents as “frozen” and no longer maintained, and move them to an archive. To this day, you can still find stuff covering long-retired versions of Office, Windows, and even DOS. You might have to use Google or Bing to help you find it, but it’s all there.

We associate participation with power, so here’s what to do before, during, and after meetings if regular interruptions are preventing you from being heard. Because using *that* monologue from ‘Dirty Harry’ isn’t it. Apparently.

Ah, well, if we're talking about monologues, one of my favourites is Iago's, from Othello. Now there's a monologue!
What were you saying? Never mind. Let's talk about Shakespeare...

Awful. Positively awful. Someone needs to speak to the manager.
