Stanford engineers have invented a technology that would allow an internet user to tell network providers and online publishers when and if they want content or services to be given preferential delivery, an advance that could transform the network neutrality debate. Bigger pipes? (Sorry. Tubes)

|
|
And I'm sure my one (and only) network provider will gladly let me pay an additional $45 per month for the privilege of telling them which content I want preferential delivery for.

How about just looking at the network traffic, or is that too hard? (Hint: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube. Hell, any streaming video.)

Oh my god, they invented QOS. Someone give that man a cigar.

Find out what pays and what doesn't for European software engineers, developers, and other programming professionals. Did they separate out the UK data?

There is no UK. Didn't you know that due to Brexit, it vanished?

"The median salary of the entire EU sample was $56,000"
Why does anyone in Europe go into software development?
"Software development is a social endeavor: people who are on tiny teams and who don’t attend meetings tend to earn much less."
No, people who are on tiny teams tend to work for companies with no money (but generally hopes of making some. Perhaps, we could call these... startups. Nah, how about just "Wishful Dreamers"?)

I agree! $27 mllion in expenses just seems nuts!

Yeah, we don't normally think about the hackers having expenses do we?
They have people to pay-off too.

Unfortunately true. A few decades back the IRS claimed taxes from a prostitute's (illegal) income. The fact that the source is illegal makes no difference to the "revenooers".
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Microsoft is looking to entice more Win32 and .NET developers to bring their apps to the Windows 10 Store via its Desktop Converter, aka its 'Centennial' bridge. Got any old apps lying around that you want to sell?
I'd say, "VB6 apps", but frickin' Hanselman beat me to it.

While Windows phones will probably keep bleeding market share in the coming months, Microsoft remains committed to keep Windows 10 Mobile alive and so far the mobile OS is still being updated at a regular pace. And by "dedicated", they mean, "flailing for the last two decades"

If nobody uses an update, did it really happen?

When Adblock Plus unveiled its own ad network in a bid to make money from toned-down ads, it raised more than a few eyebrows... including those of its supposed ad partners. While the company said that its Acceptable Ads Platform would supply ads from Google and AppNexus, it turns out that it was merely relying on a go-between company (ComboTag) to get those ads. It hadn't asked the underlying ad providers about a deal -- and now, they want out. Both Google and AppNexus are ending their associations with ComboTag, leaving Adblock Plus without much of a leg to stand on.

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?

Epic link fail.
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???

The release of Java 9 could be delayed to July 2017, according to Mark Reinhold, the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. Although there has been significant progress on Project Jigsaw, “at this point it’s clear that it needs more time.” They've found the edge pieces, but some of the middle ones might be under the couch

"Earlier this year, the App Association calculated that there were 223,000 unfilled coding jobs in the US."
I suspect the vast majority of these openings exist only in hiring managers minds.
