Only a moron or rookie (synonymous right?) would do this. He should get out of tech immediately if for no other reason than not maintaining bare metal restore image backups which would make his mistake much ado about nothing, much less misusing rm. Unbelievable.

And the backups too, job well done!

We are all open sourcerors now. While open source used to be a cabal of early adopters, today's world is awash in open source code, written by...everyone. Did someone copy my Subversion repository to the internet again?

Today's open sourcer is tomorrow's open maintenance sourcer.

Because they backup on the cloud.

The number of attacks that exploited previously unknown software vulnerabilities more than doubled in 2015 as hackers raced against security defenders to find effective ways to infect end users with malware, according to a recently released report. I thought getting rid of Flash would solve all this mess?

For most business websites and applications, reliability is something that’s handled a bit by the developers, a bit by Q/A, and a bit by operations. At Google, however, reliability is a way of life—at least, it is for the company’s site reliability engineers (SREs). "You better run all day, and run all night."

Microsoft is now offering up an online emulator for you to see the Windows 10 experience before you make any changes to your current operating system. Because if it works in PowerPoint, it will work on your machine
Not really an emulator, more of a clicky demo

What a WOTAM, the great unwashed (non technical people) will automatically move when they upgrade their current machine and an on line demo is not going to convince the tech savvy to move. Most corporates will probably move when they absolutely have to, 5 years from now!

We still have XP on developement PCs and still sell it as default on machinery. Suffice to say that we started using Win2k in 2004 and WinXP in 2010. We're now moving to Win7 due to some big (VERY BIG) customers not accepting any machine with OS older than that.
Given that most of the hardware we use don't have drivers suitable for win7 and changing hardware means having to write a lot of code to manage it - ours are embedded systems so we cannot abstract from hardware, trust me on that - plus the implied testing/selection of the replacements and eventula change of vendors... we stick to what we know it works until ubi maior minor cessat.

A sizeable swath of the world’s wired population distrusts the Internet of Things (IoT) according to new study, raising concerns the technology’s consumer market growth could be seriously undermined. Because the average user doesn't use any software that risks their security or privacy

"Internet of Things" sounds like a fluff piece from a Sunday "news" magazine.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Internet is not a given: in most countries only the big cities have pervasive broadband communications, and while they are very densely populated they often are less inhabited than the surrounding areas - especially outside working hours.
That being said, most of the population wouldn't need a Internet connected domestic appliance since either the connection is not available or it is too slow or it is a pay-per-use instead of a flat. Smartwatches are cool gizmos but have all the disadvantages of a smartphone (high battery consumption, low power, only crappy apps instead of proper software), some of their own (they're bigger than normal watches, their screen are minuscule) and no advantage. Cool gizmos for tech-geeks or clinical show-offs, but not much more.
Internet connected TVs are maybe the most useful appliance due to Netflix, but other than that there is simply no need to have the oven connected, or the MP3 player or whatever. Add to that that these devices tend to cost a freaking lot and to be virus magnets...
Have you ever noticed that IoT are exactle the last three letters of idiot?

In the latest development of what appears to be a never-ending guessing game, a report on Tuesday claims FBI officials purchased a zero day exploit from a group of professional security researchers as part of its successful effort in breaking into an iPhone 5c linked to last year's San Bernardino terror attack. And I'm sure that will be the end of that
