As it turns out, that is a very difficult question to answer. I’ll get to that, but first, let me explain why I asked the question the way I did. That has to be the longest 'dunno' I have seen (all week)

Quote: What is the value only enterprise IT can make?
Well, many large enterprises are so complex that IT provides the only meaningful model that exists of the enterprise. Certainly it is the only model that can be submitted to any form of what-if analysis. (Certainly, if the CIO is worth that exciting sounding "more money" alluded to in the article then that should be the case)

Microsoft has today confirmed via an event in France that "Windows 9", the next major version of the company's operating system is coming soon. Oh no, he didn't. Lalalala, not listening. NT4 Workstation has everything I need.

Wanna be a programmer? That shouldn’t be too hard. You can sign-up for an iterative online tutorial at a site like Codecademy or Treehouse. You can check yourself into a “coding bootcamp” for a face-to-face crash course in the ways of programming. Or you could do the old fashioned thing: buy a book or take a class at your local community college. You're looking at it (Yes, I'm a suck-up)
But seriously, I think it is

Oh the poor reviewers! Since students have to submit a solution before getting to the next step, they'll often ask in some programming forum, and later on just copy the same solution...
How many such exercises have already been solved by CP experts?

I would say not many, those kind of exercises are more answered by reputation hunters

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

OK, let's say CP "experts" instead of CP experts.
By the way, reputation hunters is also an euphemism; at StackOverflow, some people call them rep whores.

Microsoft is approaching the next cut-off date in Windows 7's lifecycle next month. Here's what is and isn't happening after October 31, 2014. It dresses up as Dracula and goes trick-or-treating?

The Verge:We haven’t heard from Ray Ozzie in a while, which is unusual. Ozzie has been a very busy man since the early 80s — he worked on VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet app, invented Lotus Notes and sold it to IBM for billions, then founded Groove Networks, a peer-to-peer collaboration app, which he sold to Microsoft in 2005. In 2006, Ozzie took the reins from Bill Gates as Microsoft’s chief software architect. I wish him luck (but can't forgive him for Notes)
That is really odd. CP does not like this URL, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

Wow, the hamsters do not like that link. Nothing I tried made it work.

Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."
- "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."

Thanks - that is really weird.

He’s been pursuing an old vision disguised as a new one. It turns out that Ozzie wasn’t finished with the problems Groove set out to solve. The app prophesied a new age of internet services where you could share files, instant message, and manage tasks with colleagues in real-time, but floundered under Microsoft (similarly, Wave floundered at Google). Today, Ozzie is reviving that vision with Talko, a new app for iPhone that’s coming soon to Android and web.

Oy, vey. Cue Joel...

Ray Ozzie just can't stop rewriting this damn app, again and again and again, and taking 5-7 years each time.

As a former Groove/MS developer, I can't disagree, but the guy is fundamentally right. Groove was way better than SharePoint + email + Yammer + whatever...

At work we use Lync. Done.

Lync is fine for conferencing and IMs, but Groove was about secure workspaces in which you could share documents, calendars, messages, whiteboards, etc. and you could be sure that only the people who were invited to a workspace had access to the content.

It's fine up to http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/23/6829581/ray-ozzie-talko-app-confer. I think the link is just too long.

Good find. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
