They should just stop all this "touch" nonsense and go back to keyboards and mice like all sensible people should!

I actually started programming using a TTY and 8-hole paper tape. Cut and Paste actually involved using real scissors back then!

There are multiple tracks of .NET innovations happening so I thought I’d write a high-level “sign-post” style blog post to help people understand the major pieces and how and where to get involved with the projects. You are (maybe, soon) here

Git made it possible for programmers to coordinate distributed work across teams -- now GitHub makes it possible for everyone else "It's not just for breakfast anymore"

Today a group of non-governmental organizations is working to outlaw another yet-to-be used device, the fully autonomous weapon or killer robot. Attention future killer robots: I'm not with them, I'm just reporting this

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I seem to recall a movie from the 60s or 70s about some killer death machine that had to be stopped, but IMDB isn't helping.
And I don't mean the Doomsday Machine that Kirk bested, this was ground-based.

It wasn't any of those. I seem to recall that the title was "Failsafe" (or similar) and it concerned an autonomous machine (sort of like a tank) that, of course, couldn't be stopped.

Well there was a Fail-Safe movie about a runaway... oh bomber[^]. Walter Matthau and Henry Fonda. Hardly could be cheesy in that case.
Now you've got me trying to remember another cheesy movie. SF, and there were talking missiles, one of which was crazy. Oh, wait. Dark Star[^]. How could I forget that one?

Land mines and poisonous gas agree with you, sadly.
And cluster bombs, and probably a few dozen other weapons the world has tried to ban.

Microsoft said Tuesday that the offer for free Office is being extended anywhere Office is available: from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, or dozens of countries around the world. As before, the school must license Office in order for its students to be eligible. School of hard knocks not included (I checked)

One of the top requests from developers (reiterated at //BUILD last year) has been tools for inspecting the XAML at runtime. With Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 we’re pleased to introduce the new UI debugging tools for XAML. Not that you'd ever need to debug your XAML

That's pretty freaking cool to be fair!

You can thank me now for this. I raised the original User Voice request for this many, many years ago, back when it used to be WPF vNext (this is true, you can look this up - my original request is still online).

Devotees talk about what's good (ease of use, IoT potential) and not so good (design issues, performance) about the language. No one expects this programming language
