The only thing worse than an inane infographic is reposting someone else's infographic without a backlink to the original after resizing it beyond the point of text legibility.
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?

Pretenders to the messaging throne have been many, but email still reigns. Here’s how that might change. Sometimes, the mousetrap you have works just fine

The world is awash in bad security advice that distracts from addressing the real threats. Here's what you really need to know. "I've got a new complaint. Forever in debt to your priceless advice"

On January 21, Microsoft will reveal a whole lot more about its vision for its next-generation OS release, Windows 10 - and it seems that it plans to unveil more than just new software. Just don't call it a phaptop.

Get prepared for a world changing success that'll kill iPhone, OSX, Android and Linux and look uber-cool in one fell swoop... (ooh, I can't wait )
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

While a lot of attention is given to high profile account breaches, the truth is many passwords are next to useless because of their simplicity. 1234567: 10x more secure than 123456

So I'm confirmed that I was right to extend my current Password "asdf" to "asdflkj"

This is all ok, but how do THEY know what passwords people use?

I like the idea of so many people thinking a "dragon" is guarding their information. Personally, I'd have named mine.

In the last year, Microsoft's Azure cloud service trailed its two biggest competitors--Amazon Web Services and Google Compute Engine--in uptime. Or, put another way, it was the "winner" when it came to downtime. W00t! They're #1. #1!
|
|
|
|

There's something screwy with those numbers. What immediately jumped out was that MS had ~10x the number of downtime hours vs Google but only ~3x the downtime percentage. From there I went to the source suspecting a transcription error; but while the percentages didn't quite match that wasn't it either.
After playing around a bit I figured out that the article was comparing apples and oranges. The percentages were based on downtime/region; but the hours shown were cumulative downtime over all regions. The big difference I saw was that Google had 1.15h of downtime across 3 regions while MS had 3.3 hours across 13 regions. Google's small number of regions also helped mask that they did much worse than amazon's 14 minutes * 9 regions.

We waste far too much time getting bogged down in choices when we have a perfectly good solution we could apply straight away. All variable names must be eight characters long, with at least one symbol

int _______i = 0 ;
|
|
|
|

And maybe a few alt+255 characters as well, yeah.

Odd, I don't see anything on it that might be a problem - no adverts, links seem OK (excessive, but OK)
