Any real lisper would answer that it is because Lisp is so logical and easy that there is no need to ask any questions once you adopt it.

Are our brains wired for data overload? Is it overload? Intel, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard CEOs have some thoughts. Next up: the head of the pork council on, 'Are we eating too much bacon?'

Microsoft’s digital assistant, Cortana, is one of the most impressive of its kind, outperforming its competition on an iPhone and a Moto X even in its early preview state. In fact, the early buzz surrounding Cortana has forced Microsoft to consider whether or not it would be worth bringing Cortana to more platforms in the future. "Your architecture isn't much different from the Autumn's..."

What's the difference between Cortana and Seven - in my fantasy, not a lot!

How about they prove it, and release it to the windows phones first???
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Researchers under Tim Berners-Lee at MIT develop a new HTTP, dubbed HTTPA, a web protocol with accountability. Asking the people that can't set their Facebook security settings to secure their Web traffic? Yeah, that can't fail.

Microsoft has been forced to start using its global stock of IPv4 addresses to keep its Azure cloud service afloat in the U.S., highlighting the growing importance of making the shift to IP version 6. Why haven't we flipped the switch yet?

It was obviously the point of the ad campaign, they probably had to do hundreds of takes before the they got the one that actually turns on the console consistently.

That's a great point! I think you might be right because this is indeed getting publicity for them. But I would argue not so good publicity. If I owned one I would be a bit peeved every time that commercial came on.

Great find! The one thing we have learned from history is that we don't learn from history. I guess that motto applies very well in this scenario.

Launching its new Anti-Exploit software, Malwarebytes sets out to seal up the most-feared security gaps in browsers, PDF readers, Java, and Microsoft Office. Stop me if you've heard this one before...

Quote: "Not a single zero-day has gotten through since the first beta, which let three vulnerabilities through. Even year-old versions" have protected against exploits attempting to use new zero-days, he said.
The beta has been running with "tens of thousands" of users, Kleczynski said.
Ofc with a user base this small; even if some of the exploitkit developers have gotten in the beta and found ways to break it, they're not going to release their work publicly yet. Once this becomes generally available, it'll get added to the list of detectors that they'll tweak their exploits against until it fails to stop them prior to releasing them publicly.
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?

For some years now, NASA's Harold White has been working on the possibility of a warp drive engine. This is the concept ship that might be powered by that engine. Step 1: Get the pretty drawings Step 2: Figure out if it's even remotely possible

And, assuming this is purely for deep space travel, there is no reason at all for sleek curves.

The article is about designing graphics for a star trek shisp and has nothing to do with warp drives at nasa... other than the fact that this was paid for by nasa with tax payer money... unbelievable.

I'm happy to announce NativeScript framework. NativeScript framework enables developers to use pure JavaScript language to build native mobile applications running on all major mobile platforms - Apple iOS, Google Android and Windows Universal. And one language to bring them all, and in the mobile, bind them

That's great except for the fact that it's in my most dreaded language... JavaScript
