Quote: Did you store that important tax document in your Google Drive...? A social security number and income in the cloud. What could possibly go wrong?

Amen. The only things that I store in the "cloud" are those that I explicitly intend to share with others.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

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?

Then the free-mail providers (gmail et al) can store it in their own private clouds to share with their "partners"

Google drive is the preferred cloud storage provider for all those who just upgraded from dial-up.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

..or how to try and make fixed price contracts look buzzword compliant.
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?

From his FB post:
"Effective today, I have resigned my employment at Microsoft, concluding an engaging and delightful 4½ years as part of the Xamarin documentation team. I will miss my co-workers immensely, and I hope to keep in touch with them on Facebook.
Simultaneously, I am retiring from my 34-year career of writing, speaking, and thinking about programming and APIs. This career has taken me from assembly language MS-DOS utilities in the back pages of "PC Magazine"; to many years of C, C++, and C# Windows code in books and in articles in "MSJ" and "MSDN Magazine"; to cross-platform mobile development in C#. It's been a wonderful journey that I hope has benefited the developer community as much as it has been personally rewarding to me.
I am making these decisions so that I can shift my full attention to a long-term project to write several books on various milestones in the historical foundations of computing, of which "The Annotated Turing" was the first and "Computer of the Tides" will (I hope) be the second.
And who knows? Perhaps my best and most enduring work is yet to come!"

A legendary name, looking forward to what he will come up with now

He has a Windows logo tattoo on his arm.

And a legend/giant retires to a peaceful existence after contributing so much.
Look forward to reading his books!

I just finished TCP/IP Guide[^] a couple of days ago so I'm letting my brain rest for a while and let it sink in!

Phew...I guess. That is a big book at over 1500 pages.

My goal was 50-100 pages/day so you can see how long it took.
