"the chances of this happening by co-incidence are just 5 in 10,000."
Erm...
On a universal scale, that's an absolute certainty.
What is miraculous is that we've never seen it happen before.

Well, I do appreciate the invitation, but no match with another programmer could ever equal ... in extreme foolishness ... the Armageddon occurring daily within myself over my own code as the forces of Spenta Mainyu and Angra Mainyu battle it out.

Programming languages shape the way their users think—which helps explain how tech startups work and why they are able to reinvent themselves. "Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns"

That's a pretty appalling article. Take cheap, easy shots at PHP, and from that conclude that all dynamically typed languages are equally awful. Then use OCaml as an argument for strong typing.
Totally ignoring the number of weakly typed languages that are minimal and elegant, and the number of strongly-typed languages with horrible design flaws.
I'd expect much better from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The unique attack method used to disrupt the code-sharing site GitHub over the last week could have been prevented if more websites enabled encryption, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said Wednesday. It's all a plot by the Certificate companies, I tell you!

Increased use of security measures would enhance security? They're one day late with this one.

It is like this "Nine women can't make a baby in one month.". Just by increasing something does not achieve anything. A blatant increase of something increases the surface area of vulnerability and then weaknesses in the security layer itself can eat into the primary application.

While mobility has permeated the enterprise, we are just beginning to fully tap its potential to drive business value, both externally with customers and other stakeholders, as well as internally for employee engagement and productivity. They seem to have missed gin

Google has been cracking down on Android malware, and according to a new Android State of the Union report, it's starting to see real progress in the fight against harmful software. "What's half of infinity?"

I haven't read the article...
Maybe they mean the malware 50% smaller now, leaving more space on your device?!

Let them (Microsoft) see how many checkouts happen on Windows source if hosted on Github. I do not think any one would even consider wasting time over that garbage.

Searching the internet for information gives people a ‘widely inaccurate’ view of their own intelligence, Yale psychologists believe. Where does that leave the people who can't Google?
