The gentle burbling of a brook, or the sound of the wind in the trees can physically change our mind and bodily systems, helping us to relax. New research explains how, for the first time. This study brought to you by Big Nature(tm)

Reading your snark makes me relax.
We should get a government grant to study this.

A fart (also a sound of nature ) does relax me... but it is very dependent on the environment

But(t) it probably doesn't relax people around you

Success is like a fast - only your own smells nice.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Relax? Yes! As long as the fence intact! One pissed off tiger!! - YouTube[^]

A system of sensors and electrodes can digitally transmit the basic colour and sourness of a glass of lemonade to a tumbler of water, making it look and taste like a different drink. The idea is to let people share sensory experiences over the internet. Or you could just go buy some lemons
Crazy talk, I know.

And why is this being done? It's a solution looking for a problem.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Oh, I dunno: if they can simulate sweetness - and they are working on it - then they could remove a lot of the sugar from foods and drinks, helping with obesity. And mimicking "salty" could reduce blood pressure / risk of strokes?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Besides, producing less sugar would free up a lot of terrain perfectly good for other foodstuff, therefore doubling the advantage of simulating sweetness.

Isn't artificial sweetner already 'simulated' sweetness of sorts?
|
|

Well, the lemonade is just a replacement for the taste/smell of different things, a different virtual industry is really interested in...
|

We'll need to have digital simulation of all 5 senses in order to fully realize the Holodeck. With this research, we're one step closer to taste (vision and hearing are already solved). Now we need to deal with smell and touch.

Does this mean that we finally have the technology to turn water into wine?
Whatever next? Lazarus?
Slogans aren't solutions.

The security vulnerability is publicly exploitable, but Microsoft only fixes "currently supported versions." This malware brought to you by the Windows Server marketing team
|
|
|
|
|
This is Microsoft's way of saying: Upgrade, or else...
|
|
|
|
|
That's a good marketing idea: hide some vulnerabilities in your product, and when the new version is on the market, let them become known and tell your users that they have to buy an upgrade because you won't fix the outdated version.

Anyone idiotic enough to run a website on IIS 6 this stage in the game is playing fast and loose with customer data. Running an out-of-support server O/S (Windows, Linux, whatever) is irresponsible and I suspect you would be liable if a major leakage occurs.

Google may put an end to pop-up dialogs, a technique used by scammers to scare computer and smartphone users into paying for things they really don't need. prompt("But it's a fine UI choice. So retro!");
|

I'm ashamed to admit we use the OnBeforeUnload event to show a popup in an internal application when the form hasn't been saved. It's a large form that isn't using either progressive saving or a JS-based router, so we're sorta stuck using the dialog for now. Introducing either of the other two mechanisms would be a wholesale refactor of the application.

Dimnie recon trojan has flown under the radar for three years... until now. Wouldn't it just be easier to fork their repo?

Holy ****, probably my fiancè avoided a bullet by refusing a job in Accenture!

Yes. Even without the slime balls at Oracle attempting to buy out Accenture.
Accenture is a bunch of slimy dicks who don't know their arse from their elbows.
I am SO glad I am out of the IT game so I don't have to deal with this unholy combine. If you need an example of evil incarnate, this is it!
IT is elephanted.
