Oh it won't fail on it's own merits. It's just great and I'm an old fart set in his start menu ways.
If 10 fails (And that mean I guess rejuvenates the "platform") it will only because that era is over.
And I think it is. More and more the people who come into our shop with computers for us to fix are older.

That's because the older folks with computers to fix are not part of the 'tech-savy' or 'throw-away' societies.
The younger folks are either fixing it themselves, or just buying new ones.

Nu - uh
They are using tablets and moreover their phones.
Kids don't know how to fix em - not at least up here on this mountain.

If you don't like Windows 10 when it comes out just stick to Windows 9

I do notice that it still reports itself as version 6 on the command line.

Perhaps there are two separate version paths. One tells the version number from the marketing point of view and the other one from the technical point of view.

Google ignored Microsoft’s calls for flexible vulnerability disclosure deadlines and released details of another unpatched Windows flaw, leaving users exposed for at least the next 25 days. Now, now children. Learn to play fair.

Perl already won once - in the nineties it was the technology that powered the whole web. To limited definition of 'won'
By that argument, MS-DOS "won", so there is no need to learn anything else.

COBOL won first. Without COBOL there would be no Perl.

Machine language won. Without it there would be nothing else...

Lack skills yourself? A new website allows you to find a hacker in minutes for revenge against an ex or to take down local competition. "Just ring 36-24-36, hey I lead a life of crime"

Today we're happy to announce TypeScript 1.4. With TypeScript 1.4, we've continued to build new features that help you work with more JavaScript patterns, create richer typings, and use new ES6 features. Now even more typey. Or is it scripty?

The Hyperloop is nothing. Elon Musk, the man behind the high-speed train experiment, now conceives of an interplanetary Internet, according to a new report. Latency, schmatency

Kent Sharkey wrote: Latency, schmatency
With a planned 750mi orbit vs 22000mi for a geo synchronous comsat, the speed of light latency problem mostly goes away. At geo you're looking at ~500 milliseconds for the 2 round trips needed (up and down for your request, then up and down for the servers response) from the equator. At the orbit Musk is planning the minimum is only 16ms; which while probably not as good as the 1st leg of your current ISP isn't going to be a major problem.
Musk's also hoping to make that up and then some by taking advantage of the fact that while light travels at c in a vacuum, it only travels at about .66c in a fiber. Potentially that means by bouncing a signal between several of his satellites it could be possible to beat a fiber ground link. (It's way too early for me to try and figure out how many satellites they'd need to use as intermediates in sending a message around the globe and fast they'd need to make relaying a packet for it to work out.)
The main challenge I think this would run into on the consumer end is that because LEO satellites don't maintain a fixed position in the sky, you'd need more open lines of sight to keep a connection, and a tracking antenna instead of a fixed one. And unless it was a phased array, you'd probably need two of them to avoid brief interruptions in service when switching from one satellite to the next.
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?
