Thanks for having a go, but that's not really any clearer. What exactly is it that's coming next that is 8 big and how do we know that 8 is going to be enough? If it's leaving room for a specific thing then there should be something defining the size of that thing, surely?
Still looks like a magic number to me, yet this is Linus' fixed version of the code. So what's going on?
Not really. It says something about poor web design, but it's more likely a specific requirement.
"We haven't had any complaints since the new site went up. It's the same as the old site but we've removed all the "Report a problem" links...."
Overpriced trebles all round?
It's not that it doesn't matter how many vulnerabilities there are, but the fact is that vulnerabilities will be found if there's enough money to be made, and when that happens the patches are worthless unless they make it onto the vulnerable devices. I'm sure OpenBSD doesn't have any security vulnerabilities (!) but if it did, you would want them patched in a timely manner, wouldn't you?
A quick google (so correct me if I'm missing something) reveals both Knox and SEAndroid to be secure versions of android, but neither search shows top spec devices that come preloaded and are targeting business. Where are the specific samsung devices that are marketed to businesses as secure? As it stands the quote seems to be accurate.
Random website? Most of us know of github. The tool consists of batch files, registry files and additions for the hosts file and it's all plain text and readable. So no dodgier than a random registry hack. The best advice for anyone that feels capable is to take a look at it to see if you're prepared to trust it.
Indeed. If you read the post that this article is about she comes across as perfectly sensible. She didn't like the environment she was working in so she left the project to go somewhere else. Seems reasonable. Why shouldn't she, on her own blog, explain why?
No, just because it's The Register, and everyone gets short shrift, not just MS. Go and read the bleating under the latest apple security article.
For some reason it's upset you because it's MS and not Apple, Google, Oracle or some other massive corporation having the piss taken. That shows your bias, not el Reg's.
