In less than a year, Microsoft will end support for SQL Server 2008, meaning no more updates and no more support, but perhaps more problems on the security and compliance fronts for organizations that don't migrate to newer options. SELECT problems FROM my_database WHERE queryrunat >= DateAdd(yy, 1, GetDate())
I imagine there are more than a few people affected by this one.

Tech leaders, including Elon Musk and the three co-founders of Google’s AI subsidiary DeepMind, have signed a pledge promising to not develop “lethal autonomous weapons.” Did anyone check for crossed fingers?
|
|
|
|
|
Does that include a Tesla?
|
|
|
|
|
I also pledge not to develop any "lethal autonomous weapons".
There; do you feel safe now, punk?

The European Commission said the firm had used the mobile operating system to illegally "cement its dominant position" in search. "Pretty soon you're talking about real money"

Darn google, illegally creating software that people might actually want to use vs creating a bare bones operating system and letting every Tom, Dick and Harry write irrelevant software...which they already do. Its called the google store.

Google and Microsoft get sued and fined while there's really only one company who refuses to work with standards or allow their consumers to work with anything that's not strictly approved by themselves.
Yeah, you know who I'm talking about.
I guess it's ok for them because they only have the second biggest smartphone market share in the world and the biggest for tablets 
As if creating iTunes isn't reason enough to sue them they're also forcing their poor users to use it 
|
|
|
|
|
 And I'm sure that company has absolutely nothing to do with this decision. 
I hope the EU commission members enjoy their new iPhones.

If you're familiar with C#, then you most likely heard that you should always override Equals and GetHashCode for custom structs for performance reasons. Because one of your hashes should not equal the others

How many teams should we have? Should we create a new team for this initiative or ask an existing team to take it on? What is the boundary between these two teams? Frequently XL or larger (at least 'round these parts)

Mobile device management is not enough to protect employee smartphones from growing cyber threats. Conveniently, they sell something for that.

New research found that being in a bad mood can help some people’s executive functioning, such as their ability to focus attention, manage time and prioritize tasks. The same study found that a good mood has a negative effect on it in some cases. I guess this means I should look at my To-do list? Hmph.

Another waste of time?
I mean... it is kind of logic, isn't it?
if I am angry or something like that I signalize it out and I don't get disturbed by anyone. And I focus more to distract me from the cause of my anger. Which automatically increases my productivity.
If I am in a good mood, then the probability to chat and make jokes with co-workers is much, much higher, which automatically reduces productivity (but increases team bounds).
The biggest problem is when the situation are so, that you don't have any mood to work. That's the worst.

Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Virginia are now able to create “tiny, thin-film electronic circuits peelable from a surface,” the first step in creating an unobtrusive Internet-of-Things solution. Are they also "Scratch & Sniff"?

I read that as 'Peeable' circuits at first and was confused.

Right now, the government can read your six-month-old emails without a warrant. That's OK. Six months ago I wasn't doing anything criminal. They can't read the ones from seven months ago, though. Right?

I'd get an email from the government; "We just read the last six months of your emails. Get a life!"

Jeff Bezos has been one of the world's wealthiest people for a while, but he's now set a new record: he's the wealthiest person in recent history. When asked to comment he dove into a swimming pool filled with doubloons

When a journalist asked him how it feels to be the richest person he said "It feels Amazon"...
