Having heard some of the crap that goes over in-game voice chats, this could backfire.

The Oracle executive chairman on Wednesday described Amazon and Microsoft as defeated rivals in cloud computing—at least when it comes to the quality of their technology. If you can't beat them, say you can (and run off)

Where's the lawsuit? Can't be Oracle news without a lawsuit...
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

I didn't know Oracle sold cloud services. Guess that says it all.

whOracle has bought up assorted enterprisy web applications and migrated them all to their in house cloud at something like 10x the original cost. Or at something like another 10x the new cost you can host a whOracle cloud instance on premise if you don't trust your data on someone else's servers.
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?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Cybersecurity researchers from the University of Michigan used sound waves to trick accelerometers and gain backdoor access into systems.
Anyone? Anyone attempted this yet???

Yes. Some Kent "The Leslie" Sharkey attempted it yesterday[^].
I saw that post, but don't see where he mentioned, that he attempted it.

If you *saw* that post, and were trying to start a discussion around this topic, then the lounge would have probably been a better place.

I was searching for $5 keyword and miss/forgot that post from yesterday.

So he jumped the Sharkey?
I'll bet that brought tears to someone's eyes.

An ex-girlfriend was also very good at using sound waves to convince me of false realities. Fortunately my security systems were robust enough to thwart the attack.

Of course, the real reason for this is to con decent scientists into making tiny but incredibly high-powered snooping devices for the NSA.

Scientific American would only let me read a brief section of that article without a paid subscription.
However, I found good coverage here:[^].
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Microsoft knows that, out there in the real world, developers come at DevOps using a wide range of languages and platforms, some of which are not of the developer's choosing. That was the core message of Microsoft DevOps expert Donovan Brown's demo at VSLive! in Las Vegas this week. And by 'any platform', they mean Visual Studio

As NASA astronomers peer further and further into space, they require ever larger and more powerful telescopes to do so. That's why one team of researchers from the Jet Propulsion Lab have proposed using the biggest object in our solar system, the Sun, as a cosmic magnifying glass. Uh, I think we're using it for something else?

Just wait until a bunch of lunatics to come down the street protesting about how NASA is caballing to "take away" sun for some telescope related scientific research.
