Worse; the lack of pants purchases might get you confused with Sean, and have advertisers bombarding you with mankini ads. 
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?

First I read "how spending money that isn't yours with a card that's not very secure could get you into trouble" (I'm Dutch and credit cards aren't much of a thing here).
Then I read the article and it was nothing like that.

In a blog post on Friday, Microsoft announced that it wouldn’t be extending the free upgrade to Windows 10 for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise users. Microsoft plans to update Windows 10 much more frequently compared to previous Windows versions. On behalf of IT Support: thank you

As I remember we (the company I work for) paying an annual fee and get all the software, so can't understand what all this about...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yeah, that part hasn't changed much (although with Wen being free, you'd think they'd throw Enterprise customers a bone), but what I thought was interesting was the "Current Branch for Business" release plan.

Wow. Epically bad writing on Win Beta's part there. Seems they turned he FUD and FAIL up to 11 and then grabbed the knobs with a pair of pliers and snapped them off trying to go to 12.
Ars Technica[^] did a much better job of covering it. Short version is that the only people who're going to be left without a free upgrade path are the handful of companies who shot themselves in the foot by paying as much as an SA contract would cost for a boxed version of Win 7/8 Enterprise in the last year or so. Normal small businesses using consumer versions of Win7/8 qualify for the free upgrade, normal larger businesses will get it bundled in to their SA contract at no extra cost.

“Agile” is undeniably here to stay and probably approaching “industry standard.” It’s become so commonplace, in fact, that it is an industry unto itself, containing training courses, conferences, seminars, certifications — the works. My code's not agile, but it does run occasionally

A new version of Windows for consumers tends to accompany a new version of Windows Server too. But this time around, it seems that Windows 10 won’t have its server counterpart launch alongside it as Microsoft has opted to delay Windows Server 10 (or Windows Server ‘Next’) to 2016. However can I wait that long?

"One of the leading big data algorithms for finding related topics within unstructured text (an area called topic modeling) is latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). But when Northwestern University professor Luis Amaral set out to test LDA, he found that it was neither as accurate nor reproducible as a leading topic modeling algorithm should be.
Using his network analysis background, Amaral, professor of chemical and biological engineering in Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, developed a new topic modeling algorithm that has shown very high accuracy and reproducibility during tests. His results, published with co-author Konrad Kording, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation, physiology, and applied mathematics at Northwestern, were published Jan. 29 in Physical Review X."
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

Hmm, maybe he could use his new algorithm to model our Earth's climate and tell us what's really going on instead of the crap models being foisted on an ignorant public...

For some their URL (https://msopentech.com/blog/2015/01/28/experimenting-with-a-proposed-standard-gui-for-the-c-language/) makes two errors. Firstly, this is for C++ not C (but that's understandable given the limits of URL). Worse, it refers to a proposed standard GUI, quite a different beast from a graphics library.

I thought it was talking about a proposed standard API which is another different beast.

The leading maker of PC chips says its new Core vPro processor is now available and offers speedier performance, longer battery life and the need for fewer cords. That's a fine idea, as long as you're not a tightrope walker

Until you get to zero, reducing the number of cords has very little qualitative impact.

And way more reliable, yes.
I don't understand what Intel has against wires, personally.
