You got that patch that keep crashing on boot while asking to upgrade to W10.
I am glad the crash safety measure worked so well

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

New sources are stepping up questions about Oracle's stewardship of the Java development platform I guess they couldn't figure out how to attach support contracts to the compiler

Oracle bought Sun for $7.4 billion. I didn't see then how they'd ever earn that money back. Perhaps they finally figured this out themselves.

"..written in his cells he has got the marks of the genius"
Ken Thompson[^] was doing all of this decades ago.
It raises an interesting point though - how can we create secure code if we cannot trust the soup-to-nuts of the system...which we obviously can't (we have seen firmware exploits, compilers, OS libraries, source control system vulnerabilities, tainted linkers etc.)
|
|

|

As far as the biggest security risk (a.k.a. users) is not fixed... it is going to be a lost fight. You can do whatever you want, there will always be a moron that makes the wrong click.
At least with hackers you know what to expect.

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?

Just read that Ken Thompson article. That's a nasty bit of work outlined there. Now I'm scared of pushing F5 in VS.

If you've upgraded to iOS 9, you should be aware that it comes with a new feature – enabled by default – that could make your next wireless bill a lot bigger. It's a feature!

Every time I install an iOS update, it turns on the Bluetooth. One good thing, about 9.0...it finally connects to my cheapy Rosewill router!

I'm sure my ancient Android 4.2 also has that feature. I find it invaluable - my normal data connection is mobile (HSDPA) anyway, so the phone using wifi when it can is only a saving for me.

'Citizen developers' are building or tweaking their own productivity apps, and a large segment are also getting involved in run-the-business app development. Think of it as a "make work" project
|
|
|
|
|
A bit like when "users" created spreadsheets for everything and thought they were developers?
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. But now it's, "I can make a JavaScript alert box pop up"

Hey! it's what keeps us in business.
Them: How much to fix this app I created?
Us: (sniggering) How much have you got???

Yep, instead of hiring a professional, use duct tape to fix it.

The reason for this change is that Microsoft says it wants to “encouraging more user generated-content and open up the Project Spark experience”. Is this in preparation for cancelling it Oct 6th?
