If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You should really move this to the Soapb...oops... sorry, for a moment there I thought this was political.

A controversial programme that could have seen persistent content-pirates have their internet access cut off, has been stopped in the US. To the Torrents!
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: The programme demonstrated that real progress is possible when content creators, internet innovators and consumer advocates come together in a collaborative and consensus-driven process
Ah, that last bit explains it:
"when content creators, [anyone] and [anyone else] come together in a collaborative and consensus-driven process"
People who think they're above everyone else don't come together in collaborative and consensus-driven processes with anyone else.

"fix the bugs that need to be fixed and understand why we're not going to fix some bugs that perhaps ought to be fixed."
I must be getting old. Used to be, the goal was to have no known bugs when we shipped a product. Funny Sad how that's changed over the years. And the "well, software has gotten a lot more complex" is a BS excuse IMO. Programmers have simply gotten lazier.

Called Delegated Recovery, Facebook engineers created a protocol that allows one online service to vouch for a user on another website. I was originally so shocked that the answer was, "login to Facebook"
Better than entering you mother's maiden name, I guess.

MOCAS is the world’s oldest computer program that’s still in active use. It was launched in 1958 by the United States Department of Defense for keeping track of contracts and payments. After 57 long years, MOCAS, pronounced “MOH-cass”, is still used to take care of the records using an IBM 2098 model E-10 mainframe. How could I have guessed it was used by a government agency?

And it includes a time machine:
January 31, 2017
...
Long back in 1958, fifty-seven years ago, ... It lost a year or two somewhere in between.

Now Microsoft Money fan RJ P has started a petition asking Satya Nadella to reconsider, and restore the app to service, adding it to the Office 365 subscription. You know it's not real money, right?
