That list is spot on.
I've often heard "You'll get to work with smart people!", as if it's a perk or something. For me, that's an expectation.
I would also add Category G - recruiters who only want to hit you up for contacts, companies and other data gathering activities because they're too lazy to use Google/LinkedIn/Indeed/etc.

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???

Sounds like fun, when we'll be orbiting? Is there an armory or should I procure my own weapons?

Windows 10's accelerated update and upgrade tempo requires enterprises to discard habits that accreted over decades, a painful change but one that can be managed, a Gartner analyst said today.
"There's a new velocity of the rate of change when you move to Windows 10," Steven Kleynhans, a Gartner analyst who tracks the Redmond, Wash. firm, said in an interview. "It's not optional. You have to get on board." Well that seems a little harsh.

Why do they Always think you 'Have to" have the latest version.
If enough will put their foots down instead of just accepting then Microsoft will have to change.

Isn't this what W10 Enterprise is supposed to be for? Hold onto W7 for another 3+ years and then freeze your W10 version at a snapshot for another half dozen afterward.

A hack of the popular crowdfunding platform may be worse than Patreon itself has let on. Don't judge me too harshly when you found out what I funded. Let's call it a 10 month accident.

IPFS isn’t exactly a well-known technology yet, even among many in the Valley, but it’s quickly spreading by word of mouth among folks in the open-source community. Hey if you want to make Netflix faster, who am I to impede progress?

Is the 'gap' between the fastest RAM and the fastest disks bigger or smaller now than the gap was 10 or 20 years ago? Googling can't stop an opinion war.

Well... answer me this: Which category is an SSD in? RAM or Disk?

Both Atlassian and FogCreek started off as bootstrapped businesses. However, Atlassian is clearly the winner even though it started long after Fogcreek. Two products enter, one product leaves.

Translation please? what does that mean?
I'd rather be phishing!

Atlassian hawks a crappy wiki they call "Confluence".
Being forced to work with it I can only wonder how much worse FogCreek could have been to loose to this crowd.

Linux.Wifatch compromises routers and other Internet of Things devices and appears to try and improve infected devices’ security. It's the malware we deserve, but not the one we need right now. Wait ...

Quote: Wifatch’s code is not obfuscated; it just uses compression and contains minified versions of the source code. It would have been easy for the author to obfuscate the Perl code but they chose not to.
*sputter*
Obfuscation is built into Perl as a first class language feature. 
Quote: The threat author left a comment in the source code that references an email signature used by software freedom activist Richard Stallman (Figure 2).

Am I the only person who after looking at the countries with the majority of the detected infections wonders if a certain TLA is using this as cover to deflect suspicion away from themselves if it leaks out from the handful of sites they're actively targeting (like Stuxnet, etc have).

Potential uses of LEDs are not limited to illumination: smart lighting products are emerging that can offer various additional features, including linking your laptop or smartphone to the internet. Move over Wi-Fi, Li-Fi is here. More reasons to stay inside and not spend money.

Daimler's dreams of self-driving big rig trucks just took one step closer to reality. The automaker has conducted the first-ever test of its semi-autonomous Highway Pilot system in a production truck on a public road, driving an augmented Mercedes-Benz Actros down Germany's Autobahn 8. Well at least if something goes wrong, it's a fairly light vehicle.
