An intrepid researcher thinks that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, may also be the world’s largest rain meter. Just what the world needed: a USD13 billion dollar rain gauge

Since it's a large magnetic ring and is so sensitive I wonder if I get out an old RFID tag I have if it would be able to read it. Inquiring minds and all...

Who's ready for the next long-term support version of Ubuntu? There's something new here whether you use Ubuntu on the desktop, server, cloud, smartphone, tablet, or mainframe. Yes, mainframe. Just in time for the Year of Linux!

It's funny that they're promising long term support on a product that may well find itself tied up in license litigation.

Oh good, I was hoping that popcorn fest wasn't going to blow over.
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?

Before upgrading be sure to update & upgrade the components on your current version and backup your system *before* upgrading to 16.04. Otherwise, the upgrade may fail and you'll be glad you have a backup.
That happened to me several times before I figured-out that magic sauce --- I've a VM and took snapshots (:->)

DevOps, continuous delivery, scrum and agile are all necessary skills in an IT-driven workplace. But how much can certifications in these areas really prove? I know I keep bringing up "Betteridge's law of headlines", but there's a reason it's the law

Come now. We all know that certificates are a two-way scam. One, on the part of the certificate provider, to make money, two, on our part, to add fodder to our resume.

On our part: yes, true, but some places require such on your resume to even be considered.

IT management certifications are an invaluable asset for hiring managers. These certifications speedup, eliminate waste, and reduce costs associated with the hiring and retention of talent for the organization. Hiring managers don't have to trust their expertise asking in-depth technical or managerial questions nor do they have to sift through every project a candidate has worked on just to access their abilities. Why should they, you're certified!

It’s a big day for Linguistics Departments across the English-speaking world, as Merriam-Webster has just added more than 1,400 new words and phrases to the dictionary. OMG

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said on Thursday the agency paid more to get into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters than he will make in the remaining seven years and four months he has in his job. Definitely not a blue-light special
