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

Occam's Razor suggests all versions of Windows are designed for making money, as much as po$$ible, as soon as po$$ible.
If this troubles you, or seems surprising, you may be doomed.

It is not for people like me, that "Don't" want to share all of my information(and bandwidth) with the world.
It's designed for those who don't care.

I reverted to Windows 7 last night - happily MS had made the process very easy.

Gone back to Windows 7?
That's like jumping into the mud, finding out that was a bad idea, jumping back out and thinking you're clean.

In a research paper titled Mobile Internet from the Heavens, Farooq Khan, president of Samsung research and development in Texas, proposes creating a network of 4,600 micro-satellites, to bring low-cost internet to everyone. Well, that one-ups the cloud folk anyway

Samsung already have Galaxies; they'd better call it the Cluster.

Quote: Khan goes on to concede that current electronics aren't powerful enough to realize his vision, but expects the research being done on chips to eventually deliver the necessary performance.
While Khan begins discussing his vision for satellites, Google’s balloons and Facebook’s planes are already being tested. If Samsung is serious about its plans for a space internet, it may need to move more quickly.
... or maybe Khan is looking at the generation of hardware that will succeed SpaGoo^H^H^AlphBook's systems.

So, once again, the place I am currently working has been interviewing for some more programmers and we’ve had to laugh at some of the answers we’ve received on some pretty simple question. "Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby"

The potential programmers surely didn't read the "Interview questions on XXX" row of articles here...

I'm surprised he made a few errors that I would expect junior devs to make, but not senior ones, especially ones commenting about how people interviewing for them couldn't answer some of these correctly.
Quote: What is the difference between the keyword “String” and the keyword “string”?
"String" (capitalized S) isn't a keyword, it's a class/type name.
Quote: A the value of a value type occupies memory on the stack and when you do an assignment from one value type to another the data is copied from one memory location to the other. Each variable is changed in isolation to the other.
A reference type is a variable on the stack that points to memory in the heap that actually holds the value. When you do an assignment from one reference type to another, only the pointer is copied. In the end, both variables point to the same location on the heap.
A value type does not necessarily go on the stack - it can be allocated on the heap (as value-type member fields of a class are), or in a register (as the jitter determines is best). This is one of the most common incorrect statements I hear made in C#, and for some reason is a very common interview question. Additionally, the pointer/reference (or "variable" as he calls it) to the "reference type" object is also not necessarily stored on the stack.

Yep... You missed one more:
Quote: Overloading gets at the concept that you can have multiple methods with the same name hanging off a given class as long as the methods all return the same type and have a different signature, the code is legal.
Overloaded methods don't have to return the same type.
