Presumably with a first name of "Seymour", just to satisfy Bart Simpson?
Of course, email address generation policies can make even perfectly polite names sound rude: Megan Finger on Twitter[^]

Oh, my. Poor Megan
I think email admins just look for some of those. Of course, I would never be tempted.

As always, life imitates Dilbert.
Dilbert Comic Strip on 2000-08-19 | Dilbert by Scott Adams
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

The worst name I had seen was back in the 90's on an old research paper from NASA. The last name was "Leaky", first name "Colon". The name is bad enough, but the report was from a study on cow flatulence.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Over the last few updates to Visual Studio 2017, we’ve been hard at work adding new features to boost your productivity while you’re writing code. Time to program my fingers for new keyboard commands

Many of the improvements have been nice. Unfortunately, Intellisense for C++ has gotten measurably worse and they still haven't fixed intellisense for things like emplace_back or make_unique.

Mozilla today announced that Firefox will soon block web trackers by default. In conjunction, Firefox will also let users control what information they share with sites. That should go over big with advertisers

Just as it has in the past, Yahoo mail continues to scan the content of its users’ emails in order to sell that information on to advertisers. If you're still using Yahoo email, you have bigger problems

I hate yahoo. They keep hijacking my browser. Wish they would just die.

A project to build the $50 phone has been launched on Crowd Supply, promising to deliver "an open-source, Linux-powered" handset with "no carrier locks, bloated apps, or data mining" and that "doesn't depend on big companies". If I wanted an ugly, limited-function phone, why not get a Nokia?
OK, I don't think Nokia's are ugly - especially the bananaphone[^], but I needed a name people would recognize.

Holding that thing is going to hurt when the RPi's header pins stick you in the face.
I'm just kidding, of course.
I'm sure they'll make sure the RPi's header pins face outward toward your hand.

Commuters are so regularly using travel time for work emails that their journeys should be counted as part of the working day, researchers say. What about lying in bed at 3am thinking about that bug?
|

only if you could ask the office to pay you for it.... "researchers"... which bug ? the bed bugs hheee

Mimecast examined more than 142 million emails that had passed through organizations' email security vendors. The latest results reveal 203,000 malicious links within 10,072,682 emails were deemed safe by other security systems -- a ratio of one unstopped malicious link for every 50 emails inspected. I'm sure they have no vested interest in that result
|
|

So what? "Virustotal" fails with about 100% of links in emails I submit there.

A newly released report revealed that DevOps practices are actually paying off for organizations in terms of performance and quality outcomes. For DevOps trainers and consultants
|
|
|
|
|
About halfway down, they fess up that they are referring to "elite group[s]". In short, the report finds that competence pays off by massive margins. That suggests (going off averages) that most DevOps teams aren't that great.
I'm curious if they could look closer at these "elite" teams. I'll wager that they are either dominated by a relatively small number of highly competent people or the entire team is a relatively small bunch of highly competent people. Further, they likely have managers who respect their underlings and know how to present technical issues to management (an undervalued skill.)

According to a new project uploaded to the Chromium team's code review site, users may soon be able to login into Windows 10 using their Google G Suite accounts. Eh, I just use 'password' everywhere anyway, so I have that already
