Oh, this is why Bill Gates and Elon Musk are afraid of AI.
Now, the top score on Pitfall will no longer say GATES and the top score on Space Invaders won't say MUSK.

Google's find-a-bug event is no more, but anyone unearthing a Chrome or Chrome OS vulnerability can still get their hands on some cash. I'm holding out for infinity+1

They should just stop all this "touch" nonsense and go back to keyboards and mice like all sensible people should!

I actually started programming using a TTY and 8-hole paper tape. Cut and Paste actually involved using real scissors back then!

There are multiple tracks of .NET innovations happening so I thought I’d write a high-level “sign-post” style blog post to help people understand the major pieces and how and where to get involved with the projects. You are (maybe, soon) here

Git made it possible for programmers to coordinate distributed work across teams -- now GitHub makes it possible for everyone else "It's not just for breakfast anymore"

Today a group of non-governmental organizations is working to outlaw another yet-to-be used device, the fully autonomous weapon or killer robot. Attention future killer robots: I'm not with them, I'm just reporting this

Doesn't a cruise missile fit the description? At least, once launched?

I seem to recall a movie from the 60s or 70s about some killer death machine that had to be stopped, but IMDB isn't helping.
And I don't mean the Doomsday Machine that Kirk bested, this was ground-based.

any of these[^] ring any bells?

It wasn't any of those. I seem to recall that the title was "Failsafe" (or similar) and it concerned an autonomous machine (sort of like a tank) that, of course, couldn't be stopped.
Nothing at all like a Frogstar Scout Ship Mark D.

Well there was a Fail-Safe movie about a runaway... oh bomber[^]. Walter Matthau and Henry Fonda. Hardly could be cheesy in that case. 
Now you've got me trying to remember another cheesy movie. SF, and there were talking missiles, one of which was crazy. Oh, wait. Dark Star[^]. How could I forget that one?

Land mines and poisonous gas agree with you, sadly.
And cluster bombs, and probably a few dozen other weapons the world has tried to ban.

Microsoft said Tuesday that the offer for free Office is being extended anywhere Office is available: from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, or dozens of countries around the world. As before, the school must license Office in order for its students to be eligible. School of hard knocks not included (I checked)

One of the top requests from developers (reiterated at //BUILD last year) has been tools for inspecting the XAML at runtime. With Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 we’re pleased to introduce the new UI debugging tools for XAML. Not that you'd ever need to debug your XAML
