Writing [good] software IS hard, but management thinks it's magic.
Put in less snarky terms; writing good software takes time, but management doesn't believe it.

We can surmount the technical and human obstacles to a dramatically more secure internet, but one factor stands in the way. It's me. Sorry about that.

I didn't read the whole thing but another crytolocker "customer" came in this morning. He open a zip file that encrypted his machine and the oh so safe google drive too. No amount of ssl is going to fix this.
There is NO SUCH THING as internet security anymore than there is LIFE SECURITY. If you do dumb things you can get robbed killed or maimed. Forget diseases. 
I'm having a bad day cause I can't do anything for him. Even the instructions to get the key from the crooks doesn't work this time.
Sometimes people come in here with dusted hard drives and haven't even thought about backup.
I like to make peoples day not tell them because of their ignorant stupidity they have lost everything.

No, thanks though, it's Locky and AFAWCT there aren't any Locky decryptors yet.
My closing tag keeps getting swallowed by the forum software and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so....

Maybe this would work?
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???

Doesn't seem to work with this variant. (osiris)
Thanks a heap though.

Google's first wave of security changes to convert webmasters to encrypted HTTPS target pages that ask for login data or credit card information. Every page on Yahoo, I think (based on recent news)

The Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ) is working to create a measure of technical debt an organization carries across the aforementioned quality characteristics that takes in the amount of work required to clear that debt. About three firkins a kloc?

Where and how to return values from a function is a topic that can lead to passionate and opinionated discussions. As usual, there are pros and cons for many of the different options. For all your trips There and Back Again

FreeDOS 1.2 operating system has been released by the FreeDOS project. The new release comes with many updated packages, DOS-compatible games, and a revamped installer which eases the setup process for new users. Party like it's 1994

If you want to make predictions for the future, you need to find the trajectory of events in the past. So to work out what shape digital technology will likely take next year, we should look back to the major developments of 2016. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."

Look at the past to predict the future? I wonder how many people could predict high resolution bendable screens when they invented the first color tv.
If you want to somehow plot future development create a nicely curved upwards graph and then make it a lot steeper. :P

What a clueless, dumb article. Why would, say, Ford want to connect their robots to those at Boeing? Why would person A want to connect their home automation with those of person B? (Ignoring that home automation doesn't make much sense in the first place.)
Having self-driving cars "talk" to each other when in close proximity is arguably critical, but otherwise, why waste the bandwidth sharing useless information?

Exactly... just because it is possible it doesn't mean that it is needed
M.D.V.
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
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

... Unless it's a coffee machine, of course. The main function of coffee machines is to provide locations for sharing useless information.

At this week’s “Love and Sex with Robots” conference at Goldsmith University in London, David Levy, author of a book on human-robot love, predicted that human-robot marriages would be legal by 2050. And the first human-robot divorce by 2051
Anyone know how to unstick after a painful eyeroll?

I think the real news is that there's a "Love and Sex with Robots" conference...

He wrote a book on it - that makes him an instant expert, no?

I'm sure the manufacturers will provide of list of compatible jells that are water soluble; which can be used on a daily basis.
