Recently, users started reporting an issue which causes certain apps to disappear from the operating system after installing the update. "He tightens and loosens a few spare parts, one thing's fixed, another falls apart"

My update was seamless and surprisingly fast. And it got rid of a bunch of crummy apps I didn't want (and never opened. For all I know, they never existed except as icons.)

I’m thrilled to share our new, exclusive partnership with Cray that will provide our customers unprecedented access to supercomputing capabilities in Azure to solve their toughest challenges in climate modeling, precision medicine, energy, manufacturing, and other scientific research. For those who don't have one on their desktop
(And those that do have no desktop left)

According to CERN...what desktop?

Less exciting that it sounds at first blush...
Unlike most Azure compute resources, which are typically shared between customers, the Cray supercomputers will be dedicated resources. This suggests that Microsoft won't be offering a way of timesharing or temporarily borrowing a supercomputer. Rather, it's a way for existing supercomputer users to colocate their systems with Azure to get the lowest latency, highest bandwidth connection to Azure's computing capabilities rather than having to have them on premises.

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?

The feature works on a "block everything by default" philosophy, which means that on a theoretical level, it would be able to prevent ransomware when it tries to access and encrypt files stored in those folders. Should be 100% defense until they find a way around it (in about a 1/2 or so)

One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. We're all just figments of our own imaginations
Sorry everyone, I thought we had a nice 14 billion year (+/- 13.999994000) run, but didn't happen.

CERN concluded: Universe shouldn’t exist
We'll have to take a leap of faith on its existence then, I guess.

As Feynman said, anti-matter is just matter moving backwards in time, so it just disappeared in the 4th dimension

Got a 500 error. Hmmm - maybe it no longer exists either...

Could be. Maybe they can't handle all the traffic we create.

I had a theory on it long times ago published in physics letters based on quantum collapse (of vacuum state) which had some direct evidences (the QM collapse, not my theory) recently in the field of multi-photon extra long distance (namely, non-causal, space-like) quantum correlation. But they don't listen ...

I have a friend felt from 10+ meter height - he shouldn't exist too, but fortunately (and somehow miraculously) he is completely healthy...
It is time to admit that we do not know/understand almost nothing about nothing and focus our spirit/vigor/strength to make our planet a better place to live on - otherwise we may have no time left to explore the truth about the universe...

Now I feel better about not belonging in this body.

I assume that they use the kind of logic found here: Hitchhiker's Guide (Original) Babel Fish
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Slow internet speeds and the Internet 'rush hour' -- the peak time when data speeds drop by up to 30 percent -- could be history with new hardware that provides consistently high-speed broadband connectivity. Faster than 56K? Yes please.

I'd be happy if the new technology was simply "it works reliably."

10,000 Mbps? I'd be happy to get anything better than 8 Mbps! Baltimore won't allow fibre in the city for some reason so it's a choice between Verizon DSL (wot I got) or Comcast - a no-brainer, obviously.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Like a small but growing number of companies, Accenture is launching a program that's long been associated in the U.S. with skilled trades or manufacturing rather than white-collar careers. Warm up your, "You're fired!" button

... at least for me as Swiss guy. And since I did an Apprenticeship, I see a lot of problems with the approach taken in the US: Each and every company is teaching their Apprentices their very own, and most likely very specific, skill and mindset. That way, you'll get nothing but corporate slaves which can't use anything they learnt outside their "mother corporation" environment.
In my opinion, apprenticeships for a certain profession (Example: Software Developer) shall each follow predefined modules, which teach the basics of the profession. Practical use is then trained in the corporate environment.
To give you an idea of what I mean, I grabbed some links for you to brighten the audience's view on the topic as a whole:
Education in Switzerland - Apprenticeship[^]
bildungssystem.educa.ch[^]
Switzerland:Overview - Eurydice[^]
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

Very interesting, thank you. 
Yes, I agree that the apprenticeship should be more generic (but still practical as opposed to many university courses). Like our community colleges, but with a real world co-op component.
