Bill just wants you to try keeping up with the latest and greatest acronyms out of MS. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I think Google has stopped indexing the older parts of the Web. I think I can prove it. Google’s competition is doing better. So it's not where you can't remember anything without Googling it?

Or it where you can't remember what you were going to google.

There have been more than a few proposals for eliminating space junk, such as grabbing it, gobbling it and blasting it from Earth. Why is there space junk with orbital lasers?!
Does Dr. Evil know about this?
|
|
|
|

The question is... will it be possible to redirect this orbital lasers towards earth?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

More recent thought on how to reach consensus among members of diverse teams for the best outcome has been to use text rather than face-to-face communication, but new research from the University of Michigan shows it's not that simple.

General consensus actually works quickest and best if the highest ranking person in the group threatens to have everyone else fired if they don't see things his/her way. Did they even try that method or did they stick with the whole fantasyland democratic approach?

Didn't your mother ever warn you not to cache cold?
Or something similar 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's an interesting idea. Never did I cache a cold, just sometimes larger objects which are costly to instantiate. What are the advantages of caching a cold? Could there be concurrency issues with a shared cold? And if so, how to handle them?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

- All colds are shared objects
- They are most easily shared by installing RHINOS - Really High Intensity Nasal Operating System
- Unfortunately, all versions of RHINOS are extremely susceptible to viruses

Android spyware has advanced surveillance capabilities, including turning on the mic when the victim enters specific geolocations. My "two cans and string"? Still unhacked.
But I did see someone with some scissors hanging around recently.

Microsoft is aware of a new publicly disclosed class of vulnerabilities, called “speculative execution side-channel attacks,” that affect many operating systems and modern processors, including processors from Intel, AMD, and ARM. On the MSVC team, we’ve reviewed information in detail and conducted extensive tests, which showed the performance impact of the new /Qspectre switch to be negligible. There's always room for one more switch on the msvc command-line

Hmmmmm,
Ostendo primo conditionem hominum extra societatem civilem, quam conditionem appellare liceat statum naturea, aliam non esse quam bellum omnium contra omnes; atque in eo bello jus esse omnibus in omnia.
The next generation exploit shellcode will probably iterate through the current process and WriteProcessMemory all lfence instructions with NOP and proceed to scan for the ntoskrnl.exe entrypoint via the spectre technique. Business as usual... Then in a few months the next MSVC 'chess-move' will be an additional sandbox API...
The modern approach to security mitigations can be described as a game of Whac-A-Mole[^].
We need a new generation of processors... with a dedicated OOB management SoC[^] tasked with 'verified execution flow' on the other main cores.
You could also add DRM, Forced OOB Emergency Updates and a myriad of other management tasks on the SoC.
