Last year, over 209,000 cybersecurity jobs went unfilled, yet job postings for information security professionals have increased 74% over the past five years, according to Peninsula Press. This might be the most in-demand job in IT. Why, is there some computer security issues I don't know about?

Awesome. Maybe I'll set up an account there to be used as my spam-trap address, then never open it for a few years. Come back to it to find out it's been having conversations with spam bots and is preparing to launch Skynet.

Darn. Just read TFA and it's client side.  I want this to be server-side spambot trolling.

What, exactly, is the point of a machine answering your emails for you? Will it inform you of what was sent and what it replied? Or will the conversation carry on without you? If you're not involved it will be safer to send the email to /dev/null, otherwise you're going to get some strange looks / angry phone calls / embarrassing situations arise.

I thought that was called a bidet, only they went a step farther and instead of just wiping the bulk of the cack off actually wash you down to get it all. 
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'm willing to bet the article was written by an introvert, and thus going outside to McDonald's is considered extroversion in her view.

note: at the time I first posted this I did not see Florian's message (slow servers to south-east Asia tonight ?).
WinBeta: "cutting free OneDrive storage from 15GB to 5GB, dropping unlimited storage for Office 365 accounts for a 1TB plan, and also dropping future 100GB and 200GB plans." [^].
Details of plan cuts, and how long certain files can persist if you are over the limits here: [^].

I am going to keep my mouth shut for profanity reasons. But, what the **** is this! Microsoft is seriously going off-track, I am very much glad I found Ubuntu Studio. If I hear another news like this, I am shifting myself to Ubuntu Studio, for sure.
I am also unsure as to how would dropping the storage cap make sure that users are more productive? By writing short codes, by making sure there videos are always trimmed down to 480p. This is pathetic!

I've seen to many times that they have had offerings then cut or just done away with them.
I was in on the beta for the "Free" websites before the went to Office 365 junk.
I just don't trust anything they do anymore.
I would not set up anything on any system they develope.
Or just assume that what ever they offer will be done away with once they get the data they need from the users.

What on Earth are they thinking? In this age of ever-cheaper hosting and storage, everyone's falling over themselves to offer more, faster, cheaper, with more features.
I'm in the review stage of switching our storage solution and this is not helping me feel confident about them. Never would I have considered worrying about a reduction in the plans I move to.
If I move everything to another cloud provider then I need to know that the platform I'm standing on won't suddenly shrink and leave me hanging by my fingertips.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I know that you accidentally double-posted this - but it makes sense somehow: You have to check twice to believe what's going on.

We’re making changes to OneDrive storage plans for consumers and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. Just another example of: "We said unlimited, but we didn't actually mean it."

Just another confirmation that I still do the right thing not falling for the flashy free things... they remind me the signs "free bird food" that Eile E. Coyote used to put on the street.
If it's free you'll pay for it.
