The technology is really very simple - they come to your office (or home) and ask you to give them the keys and you give them the keys.

Using a conditional word or phrase in a headline, like "can", pretty much lets you say anything you want.
"Russian spies claim they can now collect neutron stars—but don’t say how."
Putin: Do you have the keys?
Spy who doesn't: Why yes, yes we do.

The QUIC protocol (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is an entirely new protocol for the web developed on top of UDP instead of TCP. Reliability is over-rated?

Fail early and fail often?

I guess. Not quite what I look for in a comm protocol though, but I guess UDP is reliable-enough these days?

It would be better to educate web developers, so they will able to choose the right protocol for the solution... To force - and Google has a lot of power today to force even stupidity - something, that not definitely better, but different is just wrong!

The police had copies of the man’s fingerprints from a previous arrest and the lab was able to scan them to make 2D and 3D replicas. This is why I never let people photograph my hands
Apologies if this is a dupe - I did look, but it sounds familiar.

Yup, it's a repost.[^]
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???

That means one in five computers are now running the latest and greatest operating system from Microsoft, according to Net Applications. I still don't get that 1.2% sticking with Vista. Stockholm Syndrome?

Maybe embedded or ATM machines. Although, usually those are XP. Or your Grandma

Yeah, probably not ATMs as you mention. I guess you're right - grandparents and others who never get visited by someone who can update them

More likely laptops which have no or flaky drivers.

Or which can't be upgraded (even to win8) due to the OS CPU requirements.

I see vista come though here once in a while. The last one was last week but in that instance it was a static zapped mb on a dual core toshiba from the iron age. The customer has her data but that's one less.

And how many of those machines were because Windows effectively updated itself. I never intended to update to Windows 10 when I happened, and the same is true for a friend of mine. I would like to know what percentage is because of this.
