Research published in the MIT Technology Review offers that there seems a direct link between increased use of the Internet and a decline in religious dedication. Something about correlation and causation here
Mind you, using the internet in the confessional is probably a sign

On the contrary, most users are heard to utter, "oh my God" and "oh good lord" quite frequently.

The Internet certainly helps us to widen our view of the world, so the religions may have to adapt, but to what point?
During the service yesterday the priest started her preachment by refeering to Goooooogle when explaining "reconciliation". Is the search enginge our new god, having all the answers and knowing more about us than ourselves?
Maybe we have to reconcile us with that fact too?

Google's plans for the living room come into focus with a simple TV interface, apps, and games. "The instrument (the telescreen it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely."

Microsoft's decision to open source more of its .Net platform didn't happen overnight, or even in the past few weeks. It was a move years in the making. "You can't turn a battleship on a dime."

The #1 request from the community has been “What about Windows apps?” Today, we relaunched the tool as Windows App Studio Beta. With this release, you can build a universal Windows app project that results in an app for Windows Phone and Windows, all in a single session. Beta time (and one of the few ways to make universal apps at the moment)

Researchers at Lancaster University in the U.K. have hit on a radically new way to encrypt data while exploring a completely different scientific field: human biology. "Two hearts beat as one."

Sd times continues its tradition of being more vague beyond the point of useless than information leak.
Even ignoring that one of their writers was busted spamming articles to this forum, I'm baffled that you put anything so consistently worthless in the insider. 
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?

Monday morning harshness: better than ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
Well, if I ignored all the publications people complained about, I'd be down to twelve articles from CP every day. Maybe.
Yeah, it was kind of vague (sounded kind of like a public/private key with an algorithm replacing the keys?), I definitely would have liked more details. But Sunday's newsletter is hard. Nothing much happens over the weekend, so my bar is a little lower than usual.

Herb Sutter gave a talk on the current state of Modern C++ during Microsoft’s Build conference. The promotion of C++ has undergone something of a renaissance these past few years at Microsoft, and Sutter has been part of directing this increased focus. One of these things likes the other

Just a two months into the tenure of new CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft feels like an entirely different company. It’s finally letting go of the past and looking towards the future. That’s nothing less than a wonderful thing, but it comes with a caveat: You have to wonder if it came too late. No. How/why would you think that?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I would think of it in a way like "they are late because they could have done it earlier". But if that's too late... I'd doubt it. Better late than never.

There's no pleasing some people. If they weren't changing, it would be a "OMG WHY WON'T MICROSOFT CHANGE !!!" hate-fest.

Back in December, documents revealed the NSA had been using Google's ad-tracking cookies to follow browsers across the web, effectively coopting ad networks into surveillance networks. A new paper from computer scientists at Princeton breaks down exactly how easy it is, even without the resources and access of the NSA. "I always feel like somebody's watching me, and I have no privacy"

The Partnership for American Innovation (PAI), which includes Apple, Dupont, Ford, GE, IBM, Microsoft, and Pfizer, is nervous about patent legislation being deliberated in the U.S. Senate. Lawmakers have been working to pass legislation hampering patent assertion entities (patent trolls) from buying up patents and extracting licensing fees or suing without actually creating anything. "Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."
|
|
|
|
|
Well, will they admit that an invention is a physical thing, not just an idea?

"Microsoft announced a new .NET compiler that compiles .NET code to native code using the C++ compiler backend. It produces performance like C++ while still enabling .NET features like garbage collection, generics, and reflection. Popular apps have been measured to start up to 60% faster and use 15% less memory. The preview currently only supports Windows Store applications, but is expected to apply to more .NET applications in the long term. A preview of the compiler is available for download now. (Caveat: I both work for MS and read Slashdot.)"
