Today, we released Visual Studio 2015 CTP 5 with new features in debugging, diagnostics, the XAML language service, and ASP.NET 5 that we added after the November Preview release. While not a major release, this CTP is another opportunity for you to provide us with feedback as we make progress towards releasing. I still hope they start to make the install routine a little more customizable again. With all these releases in short time, I'm getting sick of manually removing all the features I don't need again and again. I don't do Windows Phone, I don't want all that SDK and emulator stuff I never use to sit around and eat up disk space.

I worked in a private office once. It was in the basement. Attached to the server room. With the A/C set at 50F. And half a dozen dot-matrix printers constantly printing or asking for more fan-feed paper. 
Since then I've always been in a cube farm; they seem to work well enough, and I would not want to be in anything more open.

I worked in a private office once, it was a demountable, in the middle of a warehouse, with no windows, and the A/C was faulty, oh yeah and there were 3 of us so I guess it was not so private.

Whilst companies employ an array of sophisticated technology to combat security risks, often the weakest link remains the person sitting in front of the screen. P.I.C.N.I.C.

P.I.C.N.I.C
is that like 'pebkac' ?
|
|
|
|
|

Yeah, but I did a search, and apparently I've used PEBKAC quite a lot (it is very appropriate). PICNIC is close ("Problem in chair, not in computer")

The only way to guarantee employee behavior security is to make sure the employees are addicted to only the designer-drugs the employer provides, and that withdrawal symptoms are rapid-onset, severely painful, even fatal.

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

Obligatory link to Ketracel white[^], which worked fairly well like this for the Dominion.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is reportedly set to ask President Barack Obama to apply pressure to U.S. tech firms that offer fully encrypted communications, to compel them to break the encryption to aid investigations. First they came for the hashes, and I did nothing...

While his motive seems reasonable, it's just plain stupidity!
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Not so sure about the motivation personally.
So far, the UK has a really bad record on using legislation introduced as "anti-terrorism" measures against, for example, hecklers at Labour party conferences and political activists.
A couple of my friends who have been green activists for years have suffered from this abuse. Including being held without charge longer than would previously have been possible (we suspect to prevent them attending demonstrations).

IIRC those laws were also used against Iceland after a bank crash.
Note that I'm not fully against defining banks as terror organizations, but then they need to be consistent about it.

|

Thats the ones.
Never trust any government with unconstrained power. If they need anti-terrorist legislation, insist it comes with safeguards to ensure it is used for that purpose only.

Linux will die if Linus do not start caring about the people who will take over the Linux kernel when he "retires".
I'd rather be phishing!

He'll probably just take Linux with him to the grave.

Linus still believe Linux is his own pet project...In fact if the Linux community decides to go on without Linus it will just work perfectly, while the other way around...Well Linus will left alone...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
