well the good news I suppose is that once your biometric password is pwned it's easier to change your face with a strait razor and baseball bat than your fingerprints; which have an annoying habit of growing back after you try removing them. OTOH your fingerprint can get pwned 10 times before you reach the crisis point, but you've only got two irises and one face. 
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?

While Microsoft has dropped hints that the Internet Explorer brand is going away, the software maker has now confirmed that it will use a new name for its upcoming browser successor, codenamed Project Spartan. May I suggest Microsoft Chrome Downloader?

More lipstick for the pig.

So how does killing the IE brand improve the HTML5 compatibility of "Spartan"?
|
|
|
|
|
My understanding is that no "new" stuff will be done with I.E. but it is still sticking around for awhile due to compatibility issues.
IMO, Microsoft really should get out of the browser business altogether. I don't think they will ever come close to making something as good as Chrome....ever.

With new specification, run one application across devices[^]
Through a new specification announced on Monday, the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation wants to provide a common framework through which developers can write an application once and then run it across servers, mobile devices, gaming consoles, appliances and PCs running on different processors.
haven't we see this sort of thing before ?
How did that go again? write once, run nowhere

LMAO! Every few years we see something like this that goes, usually, nowhere.

The software, which will run on any standard Mac or PC, will accept images from a telescope and run an algorithm on them to determine which celestial bodies are moving in a manner consistent with an asteroid. They'll call Bruce Willis if he's needed

Companies like Apple and Facebook don't put employees through anything quite as exhausting as Thomas Edison's test for potential employees. OK, I guess I'm not going to be working for Edison anytime soon

Which makes me wonder what programming language he would have preferred. With his seeming obsession with who various people were, I'm thinking he'd go with one of the cult of personality languages, like Ruby or Python.

76-91; depending on how you score questions that had answers change in the last century or how close numerical answers need to be to the exact value.

"Remembering random facts" != "Intelligence".
This looks more like a general knowledge quiz than an intelligence test.

The oldest processor that fits the bill is the AMD Athlon 64 3200+, a part first introduced to the market in September 2003, 11 and a half year ago. It's slow (about half the Passmark score of the Baytrail-based Intel Atom Z3735G found in many entry level, sub-£100 tablets) but I chose not to underclock it.
The computer that housed it is a Mesh computer, one that comes with an Nvidia-powered Asus motherboard with onboard graphics, four 256MB DDR memory modules, a 40GB hard disk drive, a DVD ROM drive and even a floppy disk drive.
Think this accompanies the below article about Windows 10 having a small footprint nicely!
