still, ahead of the [now defunct] Abbott government here in Aus, who's version of science policy was 'ostrich' - "Climate Change isnt happening && we dont need to look at alternatives to coal for fuel" - at least the new Turnbull government are making noises in the right direction ....

The killing of UserVoice actually took place on 30 October, but the site remains accessible until 16 November -- almost coinciding with the expected release of Threshold 2. Before you start to panic that Microsoft is killing the feedback that has been provided, there is a contingency plan. If they can't hear about bugs, they don't need to fix them

What a pity, MS have such a nice record on listening to testers and users feedback.

Don't forget the "connect" site[^], where you can provide detailed information on bugs you've found so that Microsoft's skilled engineers can immediately close the report as "by design" or "can't reproduce".

Speaking to PC World, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore explained that Windows 10 is constantly tracking how it operates and how you are using it and sending that information back to Microsoft by default. It can, but stopping it involves installing Linux

I guess my nice pfsense router will be able to correct theses issues.

Yes, spying cannot be stopped from inside the box, but it can be stopped externally at the router!

Want to buy a new Windows 7 PC? Better get busy, because there are only 364 shopping days left. As promised, Microsoft is providing one year's notice to PC makers on Windows 7's end of life. The clock starts now. Save your DVDs, you might get loads of money for them soon

Microsoft has attempted various ways to bolster their app store – including making it simple for iOS and Android developers to port their apps – but now the company is looking to non-developers in the hope of boosting the number of apps in their store through a web-based 'App Studio' to build simple applications without the need to know any code. Hopefully it has the option to automatically contact a real developer to fix the app it generates
|

|
|
Yeah, that will make plenty of good paying jobs for skilled programmers.

Remove the Goddamn Hyper-V requirement off the Emulator for Windows Phone and you have won at least one developer.
Seriously, Window UWP in my opinion, is the best for developing for. The designer is nice, and API's are actually well thought out, but I can't test my apps out on the emulator. As someone who doesn't have a full time job, I can't pay for Windows 10 Pro or a new computer at the moment.
Microsoft wants to complain about there being no apps in their app store, but they don;t want to listen to their developers. If they think adding "filthy casuals'" apps to their app store, its just going to be trash.

Kotlin was conceived in 2010. Ten years of Java development led us to feeling that our productivity at JetBrains could be improved significantly by using a modern JVM language alongside Java. Having evaluated other available options, we decided that a new language was needed there, and we had the expertise and resources to create such a language. Another programming language. That doesn't confuse things...

First off, our projects live long and grow really big (many millions of lines of code), so we needed static typing to be able to reason precisely about huge codebases and maintain them over the years.
Oooh, I love the low blow to Ruby and their ilk.
