We've heard a number of times in the past that Microsoft is aiming for a September/October timeframe for the launch of Windows 10 Mobile. But... I thought it was "all one Windows"?

For most of the 1990s, databases were the most boring tool in the shed. Let's call it someSQL?

Windows 10 has a lot to live up to. Microsoft has made a lot of promises about it. And oddly enough, we’ve heard most of them before, with Windows 8. "Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lived in a valley far, far away in the mountains, the most contented kingdom the world had ever known."

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Microsoft has pushed the giant button that released Windows 10 to consumers around the world and on the company's campus, they have a large counter showing how many upgrades have been completed. "It's the final countdown"

Until someone find out there is a bug in the counter and requires windows update !!!

16/second sounds impressive until you do the math and realize that at that rate it'll take 2 years to hit the billion user point vs the 1 year MS is targeting. 
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?

There are many style guides around the web talking about the coding best practices. Some guidelines are very interesting, some others are not suitable even they are recommended by known organisations.
CoderGears just launched the C/C++ Coding Best Practices Repository to centralize the most known best practices.
The goal of the repository is to vote and comment the C/C++ coding best practices rules to have the most interesting ones and every C/C++ developer will focus more on the most voted rules.

Nah, D is old hat. See Rust (above).
(I've not used either btw but there's always another proposed C/C++ killer around the corner.  )

Looks like a half baked attempt to clone stack overflow looking for a reason to exist to me.

That is what happens in capitalism if you do not have an exploitable monopoly.

Apple has 18% share of smartphone market but 90% share of profits. So crumbs for everyone else.

A research team from Harvard University has made pig-skin lasers. Here’s how they did it—and perhaps more importantly, why. Cells, with frickin' lasers!

We lied about the cookies... :evil laugh:

OK, it's a fair cop. I didn't get quite that far into the article.
Yeah. People make me sad. Some more so. Sorry about that.

The results of a recent AV-Test involving twenty-one different antivirus software running on Windows 8/8.1 have been published. Unfortunately, Windows Defender Antivirus came last in the protection category. No one writes malware targeting Windows?

I refuse to use Chrome as a daily driver because if I don't want to elephant my privacy by sending every URL I type to the googleplex I'm forced to elephant searching by either prefixing them or disabling autocomplete entirely. While I'd be interested in seeing what the results look like if using all of the other stuff MS insists is part of it's comprehensive anti-malware suite, sending every URL I visit to MS to use SmartScreen is equally un-elephanting-acceptable.

Mobile apps have become so ubiquitous that it’s easy for most people in tech to assume that creating them is a simple, straightforward process. "You can't get there from here"
