IT job growth is expected to outpace the overall economy, and those with the right skills stand to benefit handsomely. So that's finding security problems, and making them?

Really cool. Interesting smooth video made from the real jumpy bits of life.
Also, I notice that it makes videos of life more like the smooth transitioning you see in video games (especially FPS) which was generally created so you could fake faster frame rates.
The real life jumpy version is annoying to watch and the hyperlapse version is very nice and watchable.
Interesting.

Quote: A planned outage of this length and magnitude is much more than just a black eye for Verizon," said Olds. "It shows that they don't understand the importance of their service to their customers, and, worse yet, are oblivious to the impact on them.
A Cell phone company that doesn't understand the importance of customer service. Shocking.

Assuming they take the full 48 hours and aren't down for another single second this year, that's only a 99.45% uptime rating. (two 9s)
We were dealing with five 9s levels of service years ago. - A rating that means you get just under 5 minutes and 16 seconds of downtime per year. As the article states, "Enterprise services typically measure downtime in seconds or less".
Good luck with that Verizon!

11-year-old Mars rover Opportunity suffering from memory loss for more than a month. "Dai-sy, dai-sy, give me your answer true."
Dang. Even pasting that line. Must be some dust in my eye again.

Why do I smell memory leaks ? 
Maybe they are using some software developed by M$? I hope not.

It's a hardware problem. One of the banks of flash memory has just worn out and can no longer be read. The fix is just to remove that entire bank from service.
Unfortunately, even if you don't hit the maximum reprogramming limit and kill it that way, flash chips are only good for about a decade. Curiosity has just hit 4000 days of operation; top binned chips or not old age is probably going to catch up to more of them in the next few years, and losing the ability to store data overnight will be a major capability hit even if nothing else fails.

Say it ain't so...!
I find my Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia) to be much more usable than my Android tablet or my wife's iPhone 5.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

I like the new Lumia phones: they are cheap and have power, but I am addicted to Nexus - now my third: Nexus 6. It is a hammer - a real big hammer

Estimates are that approx 38 Million Windows 8 phones sold.
It is interesting that a company & product can be considered a failure when it has sold 38 million units.
It's a bit disturbing since it means that you can only get a product that the other 5 billion people like, which means, you are a minion and we will tell you what to like.
For the record, I do not own a windows 8 phone. I have a Nexus 7 tablet (android of course) and a Stupid-Phone and a laptop running Windows 8.1 and another laptop running Ubuntu.

Microsoft has been trying to create generally accepted IT and software development certifications for at least two decades. In an attempt to distinguish between those who actually know the material and those who are just good at memorizing study guides they’ve tried a variety of tactics. A certification for knowing what you're doing? Where's the brain dump site for that?
|
|
|
|

And I thought all the certification business was about money...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Quote: If the candidate passes the review, he or she has two weeks to publish the application in the Microsoft Store and 90 days to pass the advanced Windows Store exam for C# or HTML5. (In other words, the technical review is a substitute for two of the three exams.)
They must really be desperate to close the app gap...

Python creator Guido van Rossum’s proposal for static type-checking annotations is inching closer to reality, and the feature has taken on a new name: type hinting.
Hint: There may be some value in this.
