Well, if you have a codebase that's only ever been fully tested compiled as 32-bit, you should not be surprised that it'll have bugs when compiled as 64-bit.

I read about one of Musks plans where he hopes to bring launch costs down so much that thousands of new satellites will be able to launch. It's going to get crowded up there.

According to a new study, 69.7 percent of cloud applications do not specify whether the customer keeps ownership of uploaded data, just 8.7 percent commit to not sharing data with third parties, and only 16 percent delete data immediately after contract termination. Ya think?

And 95% of business using the cloud haven't even read the user agreements.
I can't understand why is people so blind for some things.
Example:
Moving company to a new place. Discussion about moving the Servers.
Idea x: Clone a HDD and send it using a logistic company (like UPS, DHL or so...)
Manager: hey, that is not secure... use the cloud instead.
Wait... WHAT?

If you don't know where your data are and who can access them, are them your data?

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

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?

Russian digital forensics firm Elcomsoft has found that Apple’s mobile devices automatically send a user’s call history to the company’s servers if iCloud is enabled — but the data gets uploaded in many instances without user choice or notification. But I'm sure *they* would never misuse that data, right?

That's why I disable every Cloud-something in every product I own. Cortana, Steam cloud, Origin cloud... my data reside on my machine, Internet shortage don't cost me functionality EVER (my country has 40% of surface not covered by broadband and part of the population can't ahve the phone line either so the possibility of ending up without connection for months or years is always at the door) and noone can put its silmy hands on the data I don't explicitly share.

This is the exception in my case. But I don't have any personal / economical data inside. I only play free games there. The few games I have bought, I installed them from CD / DVD, no need of cloud.

I mean, in itself the feature is actually nice. Just recently bought a new phone, restored the previous phone's iCloud backup to it and instead of the call list being empty I can see all the calls made on the previous device. I would assume this is the intended scenario for the feature and not "theft". Maybe I'm just naive though. On the other hand I have just checked the backup settings and there is indeed no switch to indicate this is going to happen, which is somewhat worrisome.

Google senior security engineer Darren Bilby has asked fellow hackers to expend less effort on tools like antivirus and intrusion detection to instead research more meaningful defences such as whitelisting applications. You go ahead and whitelist all the script code you allow to run on your network
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't that imply that all other apps are automatically blacklisted? Except Google's of course.
|
|
|
|
|
Would openssl, bash, stagefright, java, glibc and the linux kernel itself be on the whitelist?

From the article: "Consider getting certified"
Unless you're in IT, that's a big red flag for me. (Actually once saw a developer resume which listed the Dale Carnegie 3-day course he'd attended.)

|
|
|

Pity is... that 90% of people deciding if someone get a job or not are not qualified for that, so yes... certifications do "impress" them and open more doors, even when some certifications are not more useful than to wipe your ass with them.

I AM certified. Oh, not int THAT sense. Nevermind.
Seriously though, a Company which chooses candidates for certifications instead of experience saves me the time of scrapping them from the list of potential companies.
