Not really. A black hole doesn't have more mass than the star it was born from, and a planet in a stable orbit around a ten solar mass star will still be in a stable orbit around a 10 solar mass black hole. It's not going to "fall in" just because it's orbiting a black hole now.

And now you're taking as read that a system can develop into a black hole without having any effect on things further out in, and indeed outside, the system before it becomes a black hole.
The mass doesn't change, you know. The mass required to make a black hole has to be there long before a black hole can form, and enough mass can only come together if a lot more surrounding mass doesn't become part of it.
It couldn't happen in a system like ours, because there isn't enough mass, so there's no point in thinking of it as if it happened in a system like ours.
On the same topic: I hate to break trekkies' hearts, but blowing up a sun does not change the mass of a system -- the mass is still there, and so is the gravitational attraction of that mass.

Talking about servers and mobiles, Linux took it already... And now it is more precise to say that Windows loosing the desktop...

According to CNN, IBM researcher Charles Henderson says he sold a car several years ago and can still control it from his phone. "Baby, you can drive my car"

That's why you should only buy a new car...

I started receiving tips from several sources that said Microsoft was shuffling its roadmap for Hololens which resulted in the second iteration of the device being canceled. "Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three."

This is a follow-up to Kent's original post from Feb 14th:
Microsoft delays February 2017 security updates due to "last minute issue"[^]
The MSRC Team have updated the blog entry, now stating
UPDATE: 2/15/17: We will deliver updates as part of the planned March Update Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
(I know I'm late to the party and the update has been posted a while ago - But I never heard anything after Kent's post so I went and looked)

Colours?
These days, you only get to pick one colour -- and then you're lucky if the OS doesn't override it.

It’s been 16 years since Agile’s creation, and by all accounts it does seem to have worked better than waterfall methodologies. But it is not a perfect solution. Agile must have succeeded: there are so many articles about it being dead
After all, Windows has been dying for a while now (and Java). And Leslie Nielsen.

Simple Programmer wrote: I recently did a quick audit on LinkedIn. For the search I did in London, of people with the current role of Scrum Master, only three of the 10 people I looked at have a software development background.
Almost every failed project I worked on or took over and completed was because the PM or CSM or whatever they want to call themselves had little or no software development experience. I consider this as one of the largest, if not the largest, expenditures for an IT organization.

I feel I may be repeating myself, but anyway - regarding Agile:
Agile is a team management methodology, not a project management methodology.
If you are using it for the former it works, for the latter it fails.
If you don't know what the difference is between those, you are why it fails.
