First of all - there were no bit torrents running or anything like it.
Second of all - I am referring to Windows OS traffic.
Seriously, Microsoft has lost sight of the fact that our computers are our computers, and not Microsofts'. If I want to go back to the mainframe mentality - I'll go back to pdp11s.

What do you do if you get busted for pirating a terrible Adam Sandler movie? Deny it. That seems to be the lesson of a recently dismissed federal case, which raises the burden of proof that copyright owner must meet in order to hold you accountable for infringement. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it

I deny that I have denied anything.

OpenJDK is a fully open-source implementation of the Java SE specification. It is comparable in performance to Oracle and IBM JDKs. All the Java you desire, with 100% less Oracle

It is still better not to use any Java related code - Oracle likes the court...

According to an analysis of the data in Dice’s latest Tech Hiring Survey, some 51 percent of managers and recruiters said that software developers represented their top hiring priority in 2016. "You never get free - everybody wants you"

It's why I'll never retire.

You're showing your age with that one....and I'm showing mine by knowing the reference.

If so, perhaps those managers and recruiters could actual post their jobs. (Since January, I've seen a huge drop in software developer job postings [and in recruiter cold calls].)

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella today shared his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence. Since there is a lot of talk about whether A.I. is a good thing or a bad thing these days, he wrote that that we should build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences. Clippy shot first

Are we absolutely sure it was written by him, not some AI that has taken over Redmond?

We have a lot of intelligence with human abilities - maybe too much. Now it is time to create intelligence without it, and use it where speed and precision are important...

Microsoft published a blog post earlier today that included only a headline, "Microsoft announces Windows 10 Anniversary Update available Aug. 2," and then pulled the story moments later. Maybe. Possibly. Still, probably best to avoid the Tech Support folk around then

Just a note on that.
Beer at that time was probably more a heavy gruel with some sort of fermentation than a IPA or Lager (or whatever beer you drink) that we see today.
I'd rather be phishing!
