Backdoors "could be exploited by even the most repressive or dangerous regimes." "I want to be your back-door man."

How is it that some of the worlds "mightiest men" don't understand that backdoors can be exploited by anyone and are just a really bad idea...
I guess might does not equal smart.
And that worries me a lot more than encryption and backdoors!

Whenever any powers are asked for by governments, the people need to think "What would Nixon have done with this..."

Google has launched a new experimental Chrome extension that lets you transmit the URL of a website to other nearby computers using nothing but sound. "To name the chord is important to some, so they give it a word, and the word is OM."

I wonder why that URL isn't active? They could be making a lot of money off of it, although I guess they're just hoping someone will buy it off them.

New research finds that Internet speeds could be greatly increased by removing infrastructural latencies and that a speed-of-light Internet could be created for a fairly low cost. "Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is,"

All developers know about the importance of code reviews, but only some companies have a defined policy and just a few of them manage them effectively. A+++ Five Stars. Would compile again

This document is meant to be a collaborative discussion of the best practices in C++. I thought that's what C# was for?
Or should I have gone with VB again?

This week, a blog post on Microsoft's Australia Partner Network offered more detailed information about the specific paths for upgrading to Windows 10. You'd think that they'd throw in a free upgrade from Vista out of sympathy

Results from the CIO Executive Council’s ‘Power of Effective IT Communication’ benchmark survey indicate that IT teams lack the talent to communicate. This results in a state of crisis between IT and non-IT employees, which could prove disastrous in this era of unparalleled digital disruption. "What we've got here is failure to communicate"
Yes. Yes I did have to use that quote.

...it's not the IT teams that lack communication skills.

For real! We can communicate just fine. It's just that we speak English (or whatever the native language is), not management buzzword-speak like mindless jakka birds....

Yes, there is a huge problem with this, but not all IT people socially inept. I find that business users are many times looking to push their weight around, because they don't understand what that want in a software product. Also, I sometimes see business people being difficult because they are scared IT will eliminate the need for their jobs.
