Because in the DOS days kiddies, a CTRL-ALT-DELETE was immediate and fatal to anything you might have going without confirmation. So it was best to make it next to impossible to accidentally execute.

I miss it - thank goodness we still have a reset button.
Now we not only have "Are you sure?" but the joys of "Working on Updates Don't turn off the PC."

One reason was that anybody needs both hands for it and so cant do it as easy per accident.

Old news, but I still disagree. It gives me warm and fuzzies.

Pluralsight IQ is designed to assist developers in assessing their competencies and determining their proficiencies relative to their peers. 20 questions to find out just what you know
Or at least to figure out if it's bigger than a breadbox.
(Which is about 21,000 cm^3, apparently)

I failed. Doesn't that mean everyone is dumber than me then?

This feature was already there, they just updated the name for it i think, i used to do assessment for C# and it would rank the level of developer that is he novice, intermediate or expert.
|

|

I took that test too...
After 15 years of coding (started .NET around 2004 I think), it turned out I was a novice at C# and given the associated beginner's learning path.
It gives 1 'retry' without doing the learning. I retried the next day and rated as expert and given a very different learning path (exempt from all beginner and intermediate modules). I didn't learn anything in between - so I think those tests are a little suspect

i appeared two times and both times i was given expert rating, but i followed intermediate courses too to get more better understanding.

Turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you're not using them on your smartphone has long been standard, common sense, advice. Unfortunately, with the iPhone's new operating system iOS 11, turning them off is not as easy as it used to be. You're turning it off wrong?

WTF?
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???

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it on and then turning it off again?

In response to the attack, Equifax set up a website — www.equifaxsecurity2017.com — for possible victims to verify whether they're affected. We've gone past the clown phase here.

Yeah, it's our (consumer's) fault for using the commerce system.
Even though we consumers may not even know that this service is used on behalf of us.
The whole system is ridiculous.

The study authors tested their hypothesis by giving college students tasks of varying difficulty and measuring how hot their foreheads got. "No colours anymore, I want them to turn black"

What about the chili-heads that ALWAYS have hot foreheads?

Tomorrow's Insider News:
Managers in Fortune 500 companies are installing thermal imagining sensors in their cube farms to monitor how hard worker bees are thinking. It is yet to be determined whether thinking harder gets you promoted or fired.
Next Week's Insider News:
ThinkGeek announces a new product -- a forehead heater -- which, besides keeping your head warm as freezing cold air condition blows on you from overhead vents, can spoof thermal imaging devices that measure how hard your thinking. It comes with several pre-programmed settings from brain-dead (manager material mode) to Einstein (updating your resume mode).

It could also be used to determine one's level of constipation.

September 2014 actually and there has been a new version every September since. It's almost like they plan this stuff.
