Yes, there are a few commonalities there. One error too - WinRAR is not a Microsoft product, AFAIK. Did they buy them too?

WinRAR is immensely useful, well built, robust, and intuitive, and it has an extremely small footprint.
Are you seriously asking if ms has anything to do with it?

No, I only asked if they had bought WinRAR. It still works great so it is obvious they haven't had anything to do with it so far.

Sorry, Chaps, I know it will break your hearts, but I think we'll all have to stop using it.

Instead of hardware, that team is focussing on software tools that will allow today’s developers to take advantage of quantum breakthroughs. Good, because people in wheelchairs should be able to use quantum computers as well

TL;DR: TeamViewer stored user passwords encrypted with AES-128-CBC ... in the Windows registry. If the password is reused anywhere, privilege escalation is possible. If you do not have RDP rights to machine but TeamViewer is installed, you can use TeamViewer to remote in. TeamViewer also lets you copy data or schedule tasks to run through their Service, which runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, so a low privilege user can immediately go to SYSTEM with a .bat file. This was assigned CVE-2019-18988.
The developers of Teamviewer went communication silent after the issue was reported in November, and so after being unable to get any followup the researcher who found the flaw has published in full.
Altogether now...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Whoops.
I spent so long fighting with the page's anti-copy/paste I forgot to go back and add that in.

Internet portal Yahoo!, looking ahead to a future in which Yahoo! would certainly still be a household name that was never supplanted by a newer search engine, sealed a time capsule in November 2006, so its primitive way of life could be explored by the cyborgs, Vulcans, and damned dirty apes of the far-flung future. "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."
They almost made it all the way to the re-opening of their own time capsule.

One of the downsides of getting older is that years like 2006 don't feel like "the old days".

Every time I start a new project, I organize the code I’m looking at into three types, or categories if you like. Denial, anger, and depression?
|
|
|
|

three types are : this, that and the other
Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf *
Maths is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

Read the first sentence after each headline 
Boring code (good code), aka "mine".
Salt mine code (complex code), aka, everything that's too complicated for me.
Nuclear reactor code (bad code), meaning everything ever in VB6.

My three types of code:
The good - my code
The bad - what the ex-coworker wrote
And the ugly - what my current coworkers write
I will humbly admit also to the following:
The good - what I'm writing today
The bad - What I wrote today that is awful in hindsight a year from now
And the ugly - what I wrote today that I thought was good but a year from now...

In February 2001, 17 middle-aged white guys came together at a Utah resort and hammered out the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. And lo, Agile was born. still/again

I would agree with a lot more of what he said if it were not clear that he doesn't have a clue about what the agile methodology is.
Maybe he's worked at places that have implemented it badly (which is most people's problem with it), but it's just a way of doing your daily work, for Christ's sake! I've been at places where things are done infinitely worse.

If his/her problems with Agile include that it was created by "17 middle-aged white guys," then I'm not going to bother to read further.
