All too true, it just shows how braindead these conspiracy theorists are. As they will believe anything you can sell them anything.

How many times have you been in the debugger tracking down a bug, stepping through code, looking at what local variable values changed, when you hit a wall — the value isn’t what you expected, and you can’t step into the method that produced it because it’s from a library or .NET framework itself? Because sometimes you just need to know 'How the Elephant was this written?'

I don't need a framework for that... I sometimes think that from my own old code too

For certain usage... cool technology. 
But why do I have the feeling that it will be soon misused / abused and will become another privacy / data / surveillance threat?

Microsoft is following the customers and the ecosystem, but pragmatic investment in Linux doesn't diminish the company's commitment to Windows. Embrace? check

I don't think so...

Efforts to secure the Border Gateway Protocol have picked up critical momentum, including a big assist from Google. Sadly, it's not the fixes to 'IP over Avian Carriers' that we've been waiting for.
Sorry, Wired.
Or would you have preferred the echo protocol for that blurb? QOTD?

This being Linux, surely the correct answer is: Write it yourself.

Microsoft is getting into the holiday spirit a bit early today by offering an MS Paint-themed “ugly” sweater for sale on its online store, with a portion of the proceeds from each sale donated to Girls Who Code. I just don't get the tradition, but here you go
I know, if it's good enough for Mr. Darcy... bleh

How patronising can you get. Buy an ugly sweater, help a poor little girlie who wants to code. Grrrrrr.
