Science. It's awesome.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I read a paper that was like that while working on the Ciphers for Ghost in the wires.
The first part of the baisicly decscribes a 1 time pad.
The rest of it gets into bit shifts based on filters if I remember correctly.

Researchers from Stanford and Microsoft have created a scientific methodology to measure the frequency and output of intransigent commenters in social networks – those whose contributions are written as statements of fact, rather than contributions to a discourse. But there's such a shortage of them

Netflix compared 5,000 clips from 500 titles in its library using the x264, x265, and libvpx codecs. x265's implementation of HEVC was the clear winner on quality and efficiency, but whether that matters in light of compatibility and licensing issues isn't so obvious But of course, what do they know about video

Well, we advocate "fail fast" in our code, why not in our projects as well?

Windows 10 users had many good reasons to install the Anniversary Update at the beginning of August, even if most changes were incremental. At least they didn't wait for the second anniversary to fix it

If you look at the low-end ($200-$300) Windows laptop market in 2016 you’ll notice that the hardware spec is mostly the same regardless of which brand name is on the casing. You had me at, "It's Microsoft's fault"
I kid because I love (and yes, all the other big companies would be much worse if they were in the same position of power)

It's Microsoft fault that they aren't able to build an Operating System smaller than an elephant. It is not safe enough, customizable enough or reliable enough to justify the ever incresing mastodontic system requirements to make it run.

"ever incresing mastodontic system requirements"
Lets look at those:
Version Memory Storage CPU
========================================
Vista 512MB 20GB 800MHz
7 1GB 16GB 1GHz
8 1GB 16GB 1GHz
10 1GB 16GB 1GHz
So, no increases since Windows 7, which increased memory requirements to a staggering 1GB, while reducing Hard Disk requirements. Memory requirements can be double that for 7, 8 and 10, but only if using 64-bit architectures, which shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone who claims to be a software developer.

Have you ever run Windows 7 on a 1 GHz CPU, with 1 GB of ram? Because I did (to be fair the CPU was a 2.8 Ghz one). It's like trying to push-start a truck. Loaded. Uphill.
You know, there is a SLIGHT difference between stated minimum requirements and actual usability...

It ran way, way, way better than Windows XP on 1GB of RAM. (I'm not sure XP SP3 will even run on 1GB of RAM.)

I had XP running on 256 MB and it was fine, not the fastest flash you could imagine but it ran. It was prior to SP1 though. On a glorious Pentium 166 MMX, with a huge 8.4 GB HDD. It dual booted with Win Me...
