Enterprise savings and benefits climb to $515 per-employee compared to sticking with Windows 7, company says "Using that pretend company" eh? My pretend company installed Windows 10, saved a million percent, then saved the world with one killer guitar solo.

What a mind-blowing level of BS!
It's a work of art; it should be framed.
Then it could be put in a gallery with all the update-bricked winio machines, which save companies so much money.
Fave moment:Quote: 'If a salesperson goes to a customer with his Windows 7 device and says, "We will give you a Windows 10 environment,"
Because all every company ever does is sell winio, isn't it?

The transition to internet protocol version 6 has opened up a whole new range of threat vectors that allow attackers to set up undetectable communications channels across networks, researchers have found. Defending against such IPv6 tunnelling attacks is very difficult with current NIDS.

So what you're saying is that if you upgrade your network to use IPv6, but are still using an IPv4 security box at the gateway it won't be able to stop you from getting pwnd? Shocking!

The first tests of Elon Musk's revolutionary high-speed transport system could begin soon after Hyperloop One, one of 12 companies competing to make the idea a reality, completed its test track. The radical mode of transport is being designed to hit speeds of up to 800mph

In a fascinating example of poor timing, disk images of OS/2 2.0 pre-release level 6.605 from July/September 1991 were missing for over 25 years, only to show up literally one day after after the 25th anniversary of the OS/2 2.0 release The 6.605 pre-release fell between 6.149 and 6.167 -- and "It is not known what possessed IBM to assign it a completely out-of-sequence number."

But it no doubt explains why it was lost.

Bill Hinshaw is not a typical 75-year-old. He divides his time between his family – he has 32 grandchildren and great-grandchildren – and helping U.S. companies avert crippling computer meltdowns. *tips hat at bank clerk on way to servers* "Ma'am."

Research shows that the problem with interviews is worse than irrelevance: They can be harmful, undercutting the impact of other, more valuable information about interviewees. Time to try the "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" style of hiring.

You can't trust CVs, you can't trust references, and you can't trust interviews, so the only winning move is not to play.

#2 When games with parallax scrolling backgrounds first happened. (ie when you moved 2 pixels left the mid background would shift 1, while the far background shifted at 4:1).
#6 The first (and only) time I heard understandable speech coming from the internal PC speaker. And that it was wasted as an installer gimic not for anything more useful. 
#7 Writing my own games is why I'm where I am today. I never did it professionally - labor conditions at US gaming companies are hellish - but my first big applications were a Tetris clone and the engine for a top scrolling shooter where I reinvented a big chunk of the abstract base class concept via function pointers (data was fixed, between object types but move/shoot/etc methods were configurable).
#18 Somethings never change
#21 Having to restart from scratch being the other half of why I'm not a game programmer. (How naive my thinking was at the time.)
