The Windows 10 Anniversary Update includes new RAM requirements. How low did we think they were going to keep the floor?

At first, I suspected that the data might be a television stream for the TVs, but the packet length seemed too small, even for a single video frame. How curiosity wasted the programmer's time.

I promise you I can live without XSLT.

For the last 15 years I have no need of: COBOL (and not Cobol, as the author wrote it, proving the level of knowledge), Java, XSLT an Python...I can live without them definitely...

Every other candidate on that list has plenty of valid alternatives. Until WebAssembly becomes widely available, your choices for clientside scripting in the browser are native javascript and wannabe alternatives that employ a cluster elephant to decompose themselves into js for the browser to execute. 
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?

C doesn't really have an alternative either (unless you count c++)

British white hat hacker and Google Project Zero chap Tavis Ormandy is making life miserable for Symantec again: the bug-hunter has turned up an exploitable overflow in “the core Symantec Antivirus Engine used in most Symantec and Norton branded Antivirus products." See today's comic.

And they load the scan engine into the KERNEL?!?!??!?!? SERIOUSLY?!?? WHAT ON EARTH WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Is this actually unique to Symantic? My assumption would be that as a kernel driver it's much harder for malware to try hiding themselves by tampering with it.

More evidence to support the notion that there is no such thing as Internet Security from any vendor outside of maybe you there at the keyboard or touch screen.

It is essential that computer programming to be taught in schools will lead to improving children’s ability to think logically and creatively. Move over, Music and P.E.

And the end of the story is: They are able to communicate in c# (or what else programming language) but not in their cultural language.
No, I think (hope) it is not that bad... I know the japanese school from childhood and what I remember it was always a step before others.

I'm all for making some basic programming logic mandatory. It's fairly easy to understand the basic control structures of conditions and loops so it shouldn't be too difficult. Just understanding this would help immensely when learning any language. It's also easy to relate to problem solving as well as creating algorithms.
I think we were thought about variables in mathematics somewhere around the age 13-14 here in Sweden and adding some basic programming about the same time would be nice.

So Israel's been doing this since 2000; how exactly has it worked out for them?

In Sweden, kids have programmed teachers to let them do whatever they want. I didn't realize that screaming was a programming language.

It's very closely related to the first language every new programmer masters: Profanity.

Last week's episode of Family Guy included a clip from 1980s Nintendo video game Double Dribble showing a glitch to get a free 3-point goal. Fox obtained the clip from YouTube where it had been sitting since it was first uploaded in 2009. Shortly after, Fox told YouTube the game footage infringed its copyrights. YouTube took it down. YouTube: "I don't know, that fair use sure looks like copyright infringement to me."

Quote: Instead of copyright holders having to prove a video is infringing, their scanning software can take it down automatically, and then it falls on the creator to prove they had a right to post it.
Just like in the dark-ages - the accused have to prove innocence...

I created a clip on YouTube from my dashboard-camera to show a relative across the country what my neighborhood was like. My radio was on, just barely audible.
I uploaded the video and it was blocked by YouTube for "copyright infringement". Apparently, you can just barely hear a song playing IN THE BACKGROUND. And so I am a criminal music thief.
That was when I built my own server, and now I post my own content on my own server to share with friends. YouTube and their lawyers can suck it.
The "cloud" is the bane of civilization. It is ALL bad, 100% rotten festering crap supported by scumbag lawyers.

AAPL's at 250 billion in the bank now, with a paltry 2.39% dividend, though it is rising.
