Surely, all you need to be an enterprise architect is an envelope and a pencil?

Yeah... architects design the system, convince management it MUST be implemented, and leave the implementation costs up to the sites... in other words, find the money you didn't budget for.

This morning in his opening keynote at CppCon, Bjarne Stroustrup announced the C++ Core Guidelines (github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines), the start of a new open source project on GitHub to build modern authoritative guidelines for writing C++ code. Assuming you feel he knows C++

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

I'd say the same, except that the only time I read wired is when someone throws me a link.
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?

Is that really what it means? Seems to me they might just be feeding their news articles into the new iOS 9 news app and are focusing on one or two stories to make sure they get it right?
I'd think that once they've fixed their issues things would probably go back to normal? Surely it's too early to start lighting the torches and ordering pitchforks on Amazon Prime at this point?
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Were the researchers pissed when they performed their experiments?
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.

Now all those users need is an OS that works the way they want it to without all the app-crap!
