A newly revealed malware that has been in use since at least the beginning of this year has been dubbed a “bootkit,” for its ability to infect a computer at the most fundamental level, running when the computer boots to actually load before the operating system itself. "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Is its name "Windows 10" perhaps?

If you have to ask, it's too late
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

How much Community involvement has there been since Microsoft open sourced large parts of the .NET framework? They did mean "open" (I have to admit I'm surprised)

You use your Internet connection to do all kinds of things. But you use it for one thing much more than anything else: To stream video and music. Hurrah for cat videos

And "wideo" is the new streaming service/format/protocol?

According to a new survey of 2001 Americans ages 18 years and older, roughly 21 percent of U.S. adults now report that they go online “almost constantly.” An even larger number – 42 percent – responded that they go online several times a day. I'm not online all the time, I occasionally need to reboot

I also go offline and leave my computer room at least once a day to download logs.
Quote: 13 percent of people say they go online several times a week or less often. (We are curious to meet these people! We bet they’re very interesting.)
I doubt I'd use that last word to describe my grandfather (never online?) or mom (few times a week).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
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?

I just looked over the list of books I read this year, and I noticed a pattern. A lot of them touch on a theme that I would call “how things work.” You may not have his bank account, but you can read like His Billness

Isn't it a bit soon to be announcing that? There are another 23 reading days left this year, so there's still time to read a better book than any on the list so far.

Maybe His Billness is taking the rest of the year off? He's such a slacker.

Even before Microsoft officially launched Windows 10 back in July, the Redmond based company made its intentions clear: it wanted its latest OS running everywhere. *NOW* they're getting aggressive? {where's that boggle emoji?}
