Thank you Captain Obvious for predicting the present.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Mueller and Oppenheimer postulate that taking notes by hand requires different types of cognitive processing than taking notes on a laptop, and these different processes have consequences for learning. Writing by hand is slower and more cumbersome than typing, and students cannot possibly write down every word in a lecture. Instead, they listen, digest, and summarize so that they can succinctly capture the essence of the information.
So, what about a phone?

Gee, that picture brings back some happy memories of uni. Hehe, the lecturer even resembles the one I had for digital logic.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I tend to agree with this, though suppose it varies from person to person. The "take notes by recording them" didn't work for me either.

For me, taking notes as such doesn't work, I'm one of these people that really can do only one thing at a time. I can listen and (try to) understand, or I can take notes.

I find it can be very useful, but you have to use them accordingly too. I mean re-listen a piece, stop, take notes, next piece, stop...

Milliseconds now. Oh how you'll long for the good old days when it took seconds to crack your encryption. After all, we know what dodgy videos[^] you watch (yes, it's SFW).

Articles like this crack me. If they expose the actual steps, it's usually something like:
1) Create a fake domain controller/network/server to which your computer will log in without issue.
2) Get physical access to the machine.
(and quite often: 3) Magic happens)

Windows Store for Business is a web-based portal that IT decision makers, purchasers and administrators use to find, acquire, manage, and distribute Windows Store apps across their organization’s Windows 10 devices. Just like the regular Windows Store, but more empty!

More than 600 IT pros made their collective voice heard in a new survey conducted by Spiceworks. You're working longer hours and there's no end in sight. The people who work the longest hours won't surprise you. I'm doing my part to skew the curve

If you work too many hours, then you are with the wrong employer.
I don't work too many hours anymore, but I think too much about work, programming and finances. Work is just one aspect of life that should be no more. Do the best you can during your 40 hours per week and then live the rest of your life those other 128 hours.
There was a time when I worked 40 hours a week and took little time off. At the same time I was in undergrad and then graduate school; so my weeks were 50 to 90 hours total. I gave up too much and now try hard not to think about studying or programming in general when not at work. It sometimes works!

Good thoughts. Alas, we must work if we are to eat. And retirement seems like a distant idea which will never materialize. Welll, that's the good thing about IT. Always something to work on.

I agree, 40+ hours of coding leads to wretched code. My ex-employer thrived on slave hours due to a jacked up "architecture". If you are working too hard, stop, please stop. There is always a smarter way to do it that adds more value.

IMO the most disturbing part of that isn't that the average number of hours worked per week is about 50; but that it's 50 despite half of us not working overtime. That means that the average overtime working IT person is doing 60(!) hours/week.
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?

Terraserver could have, should have been a product that ensured Microsoft would remain the world’s most important internet company well into the 21st century. I think the last bit of that sentence could apply to a lot of stuff they did
