I know what you mean... my mother got ill and had to stay at home for a very long time and she learned to use whatsapp...
Luckily she has more common sense that many others, but it is still concerning me a bit how she uses it

Kent Sharkey wrote: Until we know how much data breaches cost each victim, there's little chance of getting business to invest enough in cybersecurity, warns the Internet Society.
It is not that knowledge that would 'force' them to invest in security, it is the fact that they are not financially responsible.
Something they are if we're talking about physical products. Change that, and security will become a sudden priority.

A little over 2 years ago Microsoft announced that they were open sourcing large parts of the .NET framework and as Scott Hanselman said in his recent Connect keynote, the community has been contributing in a significant way. That's 'open' as in 'open'.

But post Snowden, and particularly after the result of the last election here in the US, it's clear that everything on the web should be encrypted by default. zvffvba nppbzcyvfurq

I personally use Letsencrypt for some of my home servers. And I agree with your point about encrypt everything.
However, Letsencrypt has some serious shortcomings that they seem oblivious to. Number one, their certificates expire in ridiculously short time. They say they do this on purpose to "encourage" system owners to automate their renewal practices. Nice idea, except that some systems CAN'T be automated. I have an Exchange server behind a big hardware firewall. Every time the cert expires, it means downtime for me to manually export the cert and reconfigure the firewall. This can't be automated.
So, it is actually less expensive to pay $300 a year for a commercial cert than to spend hours and hours every 60 days fixing the free one, and dealing with down time.
I wish people could see the big picture. It's so frustrating. It's like they don't live in the real world.

While the game as existed on Windows for more than 25 years, the modern Solitaire Collection will now be available outside of Windows for the first time. "All by myself in the morning, all by myself in the night"
It was either that, or the Hallelujah chorus.

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, etc. all have R&D centers in Israel. Much of the technology in Intel's processors, Qualcomm's smartphone platforms, etc. is developed here. Is this tiny sample of Israeli developments enough for you?

I'd rather ask why it took them so many years to arrive at this concept. When using automated translation, I usually preferred the translation into English, since the translation into German combined the errors of two translations (from whatever language to English, then from English to German).

The mode is available now as an opt-in via the /permissive- switch but will one day become the default mode for the Visual C++ compiler. Visual C++ and standard conformance: no longer an oxymoron?
Or am I just a moron (as well?)

What oxymoron decided that "/permissive" was in some way a good description of "standard conforming"?

the switch is "/permissive-" or "not permissive". At some point in the future when standard compliant becomes the default, I assume the switch to keep legacy behavior will be "/permissive+"
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?

Microsoft has actually been doing pretty good there. GCC is still ahead. Both are ahead of Clang, which is floundering around.
(Speaking of GCC, it would be nice to have a truly native Windows version instead of that MinGW crap.)
