Microsoft's Don Box has had a long and winding career during his past 19 years at the company. He's moving on to a new (and for now, unspecified) new gig. But COM is still love
Probably not of interest to most, but maybe to a few old-timers (Hi, Chris!). Also, if you need someone to blame for most of the complexity of SOAP, WCF and other stuff. That would go in this Box.

For a moment I thought he'd died and had a small heart attack.
I'm just glad he's moved on from XML.

So victim's statements, eyewitness reports, and court testimony are now just as reliable as deep-fake videos and doctored photos. While undoubtedly a technical triumph, this strikes me as the kind of thing that should have been left in the realm of science fiction.

Politicians and the media have been doing that for decades. The only thing that's relatively new is that we now have a new player on field that seems even more skilled at this. Social media.

Oracle Corp announced on Wednesday it will migrate companies’ most complicated computer programs to its cloud for free as it tries to catch a new wave of potential cloud-computing clients by aiming to save them time and money. I thought that word was forbidden in Oracle's offices?

First one is free. "Reasonable" prices thereafter... once you're hooked.

Clients?

 I *knew* someone would go there.

Yeah, but it being Oracle, I'd expect them to try to get you to sign up for a support contract for the move, then another once it's on their cloud.

When you say “can’t” you’re creating a limit, even if an unconscious one. You’re blocking yourself and others from achieving great things. Is "won't" still OK?
I was going to use the IRN BRU slogan, "Don't be a can't, be a can", but I decided to self-censor.
I've been cancelled!
