Someone needs to tell the douchebag who designed that web site that silver-on-white text is difficult for 'senior' developers to read .
Or was that the point?

Senior Developer is a bogus title. You've slogged through the work for 5+ years at the same company. How do I give this guy a raise? Let's call him a "senior developer."
One place I worked - all senior developers.
Just another bogus term left over from HR.

Then they have to invent a title higher than senior, then something higher than that, ad infinitum. At a place I know of, they have senior foo, lead foo, group foo, senior group foo, principal foo, and probably a few dozen more I’m blanking on.

Exactly my point. Might as well call us old guys and be done with it.

Articles and issues like this just irritate the he$$ out of me. To quote the article:
Quote: This year has been a tough one for Windows users and so-called “zero day” threats, which refers to vulnerabilities that are not patched by current versions of the software in question, and are being actively exploited to break into vulnerable computers.
We're not even talking about the security issues that have existed for THREE YEARS.
Microsoft won't get serious until they are held liable. Baboons.

Quantum computers become ever more powerful, but how can we be sure that the answers they return are accurate? Build an Earth-sized computer?

How do you check the answer for accuracy in a system that is inherently indeterminant?
And more importantly, if you are checking the answer, it means you already know the answer, so why do you need a quantum computer to tell you what you already know?
I should stop asking obvious questions.

Build it on the site of an ancient Indian cat burial. Then it doesn't matter what answers it gives - you are screwed!
(Although cats weren't in America before the Pilgrims. Too bad. Another horror movie averted.)

Microsoft has been dabbling in the automotive world for some time now, starting with Windows CE for Automotive way back in 2001, and the company is still providing backend services for car companies via Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform. It looks like you're trying to make a left-hand turn. Do you want help with that?
