In July 2013 a pair of studies set the cryptography world on fire. They were posted within days of one another to an online archive where researchers share their work, and together they described a powerful new method for hiding the secrets inside software programs. It's right to the left of "wishful thinking", just past, "real soon never".

It is: unplug the power, unplug the network, seal the machine in heavy plaster and drown it in the Pacific.
That way you'll have the safest machine evah!

Cloud computing might help people work faster and smarter, but it's not secure enough to meet government standards, according to a poll of federal IT workers. Raining on The Cloud (instead of vice versa)

Government workers are scared of losing their jobs and pensions, that is why they say it is too risky.

I would like to see it. Does it involve some magic power?

Government IT, the mother of all oxymorons.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I don't believe anything any government says.
And their IT departments are the worst!

I already said that people will become more paranoid; giving your data to someone else is a risk in itself - a risk that some should not be taking.

I was a student of Robert Dewar at IIT when Snobol and Spitbol came into existance. This is a delight. He was unbelievably intelligent.

With Microsoft increasingly making Windows 'free,' how does the company expect to recoup lost revenues? Believe it or not, Bing is key, according to the company's Chief Marketing Officer. So... they're going to do a Bing search to figure out how to make money?

Forcing staff to start work before 10 a.m. is tantamount to torture and is making employees ill, exhausted and stressed, an Oxford University researcher has claimed. Amen
And for those of you who, "like to get in early and get a lot of work done before everyone else shows up in the office", well. I respectfully submit that you're just mutants.

So is stopping after 5 p.m. and not having at least an hour break!
Add to that the commute, which is now also considered work according to another article in today's insider, and about four working hours are left each day.
Of which half are spent near the coffee machine

I'm not one to stay in bed during the week.
I start early because there so much things to do in the evening than in the morning.
I'd rather be phishing!

An Oracle official expects the module system planned for Java 9 to bring improved scalability and performance to the popular enterprise platform. "This engineering approach to the management of complexity by modularization was re-deployed in the software engineering discipline in the 1960s and 1970s"
