Who can!
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

From the screen shots, the compressed white space lines are unnoticeable; but the squished {} 's looked seriously wrong. OTOH lack of R#er upgrades has my current projects still running on 2010. *sigh*
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?

HTTP 2.0 is designed to deliver Web pages to browsers faster. But some in the standards world think finishing the technology in 2014 is unlikely. Coming to an Internet near you, probably 10 years from now

JavaScript was created in 1995. Google’s search engine debuted in 1998. Yet it took 15 years for the two to fully intertwine. Well, it's not like there is much out there

Cross platform ASP.NET vNext functionality is available now. There are still rought edges, but progress is being made daily and first class support for OSX and Linux environments is on the Horizon. "I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand."

The researchers behind it don't want to call it suspended animation, but it's the most conventional way to explain it. I could totally go for that right about now.

Microsoft has stopped providing XP users with security updates, forcing them to either upgrade to another, newer operating system, or gamble with their safety. While the latest usage figures show that a large portion of users are moving away from XP, there’s still a sizable number of users who aren’t -- or can’t. Or until they close the loophole

Since what's being done appears to be editing the registry so that the OS has the same flags set that are used to differentiate XP-POS (for XP32) or Server-2003 (for XP64) from normal XP, it should work for as long as those platforms are supported; which is 2019 for XP-POS and appears to be 2015 for Server 2k3.
The risk is that if MS patches something that's different in the version you're masquerading as than in what you're actually running you could end up bricking your system.

That's what I thought, but I'm not entirely sure - there was a similar situation back with either NT4 or so. You could use a registry switch to convert a copy of workstation into server, and they managed to 'fix' that one.

One of the most dangerous things I’ve seen happen to people who are just starting to code is being told that it’s easy. But...I just bought a book that says I can learn in 21 days

Of course, 21 day in each month in the next 12 years...

I gave up when I read this essay by Peter Norvig: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years[^].
From the text:
"Researchers (Bloom (1985), Bryan & Harter (1899), Hayes (1989), Simmon & Chase (1973)) have shown it takes about ten years to develop expertise in any of a wide variety of areas, including chess playing, music composition, telegraph operation, painting, piano playing, swimming, tennis, and research in neuropsychology and topology. The key is deliberative practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it, analyzing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting any mistakes. Then repeat. And repeat again. There appear to be no real shortcuts: even Mozart, who was a musical prodigy at age 4, took 13 more years before he began to produce world-class music. In another genre, the Beatles seemed to burst onto the scene with a string of #1 hits and an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. But they had been playing small clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg since 1957, and while they had mass appeal early on, their first great critical success, Sgt. Peppers, was released in 1967."

So your CIO thinks that cloud, BYOD and big data are all passé and now has declared The Next Big Thing in the IT department will be DevOps — and hey, even worse, he or she used the Google and has seen that Big Vendor X and Big Vendor Y offer 'DevOps-ready products' so all that it's going to take is picking up a bunch of overpriced automation tools. "Chances are, you're going to need a stiff drink at some point."
