When you don't want to hear something, one easy way to not have to think about it at all is to convince yourself that whoever is saying it is incompetent, or that they have ulterior motives. You don't get $200 for passing it?

A modified VR headset can create the sensation of touch, either on a user's lips or even inside their mouths. At least the kind of kisses that a VR researcher might experience
I just can't imagine where this "technology" may lead

On the bright side, if that industry went entirely virtual, trafficking would be eliminated. On the other hand, Uungh! Eliminating trafficking more than makes up for that negative. But we are both realists - that will never happen in our lifetimes.

Yeah, I suspect there's no industry more likely to go, "Why not both" (or all ways to make money)

Someday, probably long after this body has decayed, I hope we can look at each other and truly say, "There, but by the grace of God, go I." I'm not religious, and don't believe in that God, if you watch my video, but I still hope for that future.

It is probably safe to say that very few people wonder what will happen if you try to run an old Windows version on a processor that is 233 times slower than the minimum recommended spec. So, nothing's changed then?

I didn't even know that it was possible to run the original Pentium that slow! According to Wikipedia, even the slowest variants could run at 60 MHz. I guess it took some small tricks to set up a board for providing a 1 MHz clock to the chip!
|
|
|
|
|
so.. what about Window 10? 11?
|
|
|
|
|
You could build a mainboard that rather than a 1 MHz crystal has a pushbutton generating clock pulses, so that you could single step, using your index finger, through the boot process at the clock pulse level (that might be even more fine grained than instruction level - I don't remember exactly about the original Pentium).
That way you could make the boot process take years!
(No, I don't think that it would work. I am surprised that the hardware could run even on a 1 MHz clock frequency without running into time dependent issues/problems.)

Microsoft sent an email to all Windows Insiders with the subject line "How we built Start" under the heading "Learn what's coming next" It's had the most comments. That's good, right?

Microsoft is adding a free built-in virtual private network (VPN) service to its Edge browser in a bid to improve security and privacy, a Microsoft support page revealed. Keep all your browsing secret from everyone (except Microsoft and CloudFlare)

The CoreWCF Project team has released the 1.0 version of CoreWCF, a port of WCF to the .NET Core platform. It provides a compatible implementation of SOAP, NetTCP, and WSDL. Time to SOAP up your apps

Ewwww. WCF is so old school.

Recruiters are desperate to hire developers, but old-school interview techniques often fail to capture the best of candidates' abilities - and can put them off the role entirely. Whiteboards deemed offensive

But.... What about the manhole covers!?!

The Fedora development team are planning some significant changes to the way the distro handles graphics, which will help to push forward the state of Linux graphics support – but it may hinder troubleshooting when things go wrong. It will now only require 15 command-line switches, two pipes, and exiting vi?
That last part is always the hardest.
