Interesting example. I appreciate you taking the time to write that up. I think, after reading that, I'll stay away from RS for the moment. Ah yes, fxCop -- never did take a liking to that either. I think you bring up a really good point -- something like RS should highly configurable, not just 2 categories, etc.

You can turn individual items on/off or move them between groups and the inspection results list can be grouped by warning type to make finding all the high priority items easy. Even if you turn off the improvement suggestion feature off entirely instead of just turning off most/all of what it reports because you don't care, the enhanced refactoring tools are worth the price of entry IMO.
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?

JavaScript on the JVM is better and faster but not always friendlier with Nashorn, the rebuilt JavaScript interpreter. Why leave the JVM? It's warm and cosy.

Matias Duarte, Head of Design at Android, has recently held an interview on software design during Accel Design Conference 2014 underlining the need for a shift in software design approach from separate apps made for different devices to one app for multiple screens.

With several states and municipalities considering various mandatory “kill-switch” laws for mobile devices, the wireless industry announced a voluntary commitment to include new anti-theft technology on phones starting next year. "This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim."

Voluntary my ass. If it weren't for the flood of various pending kill-switch legislation, the carriers would never allow such functionality, even though several cell phone makers have had it available for over a year. Why? Because it cuts into a major portion of the carrier's revenue.
The carriers saw the writing on the wall and "decided" to go with the flood and also to avoid some negative PR.

Scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have demonstrated significant progress in their novel gas-to-liquid process, which simultaneously recovers carbon dioxide and hydrogen from seawater, and report that it can produce a fuel-like hydrocarbon liquid which may eventually offer a renewable replacement for petroleum based fuel in jet engines. CO2 + H2 (+ Magic) = Jet Fuel

For magic, read energy...
Obviously energy will be required as an input to drive the system, and currently this energy is going to come from fossil fuels.

Actually, this energy will probably come from the nuclear reactors on the aircraft carriers.

But aren't nuclear reactors just magic (all sparkles and pixie dust)? 
Yeah, nuclear reactors are the most likely power source. Hopefully they can get this scaled up - it might provide a broader, more carbon-neutral energy solution.

I clearly need more sleep. I read that headline as "Usng sweater to create jet fuel" 
That would certainly have been magic.

Oh good! A way to extract CO2 from water and put it back into the atmosphere! And, if we use fossil fuels to power the process, we kill two birds with one stone!

A new WhiteHat Security report takes a deeper look into the security of a number of the most popular programming languages including .Net, Java, ColdFusion, ASP and more. "Security is a process, not a product"

.NET is not a language. ASP is not a language. How much faith can we have in a report that starts off by getting the basics wrong?

I finally managed to access the site and the article seems very, very confused.
It is possible to leave SQL injection attacks in code in most languages, for example, its really a matter of programmer discipline to avoid them. A good example of blaming the wrong tool (we should be blaming the one who wrote the code).
