Even worse than a generic name to search the net;
"What browser are you using?"
"Google"

The only google products I use are android, maps, and translate, but "to google" is a new verb, and has nothing to do with the noun.
The guy was a w@nker, though. What's unfortunate is that treating this w@nker justly will come up as precedent in other cases, where the respondents aren't w@nkers.

A group that took credit for leaking NSA cyber spying tools - including ones used in the WannaCry global ransomware attack - has said it plans to sell code that can be used to hack into the world's most used computers, software and phones. "If I had a rocket launcher I'd make somebody pay"

I made for my wife a yarn "Skane Contain" that is an 8 x 8 stacked array of 12" x 4" PVC pipes. All pop rived together where they join.
You should see it.

As it turns out, "a malicious third party" had managed to break into a "non-core system" that DocuSign uses to send out service announcement emails. OK, who had DocuSign as the next hacking victim?
You will the pool (which is currently empty due to all the hacking)

OK, my loved ones can stay here on Earth, after they're dead -- what's the price for the rissoles who will be dead someday, so why wait?

Stars, quasars, and other celestial objects generate photons in a random way, and now scientists have taken advantage of this randomness to generate random numbers at rates of more than one million numbers per second. "They won't believe the man he could, but I'd choose starseed over nothing"
Kind of obscure, but that's where my brain went.

Interesting.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Ah, assembly. Where all the pretense of high-level languages—the program structures, the data handling, the wealth of functions—gets stripped away. Fun? Assembly. Are we talking about the same Assembly? Fun?

Call me crazy, but yeah, I find Assembly fun.

You're crazy 
I mean on an abstract level, sure. It's a lovely challenge, and joyous when it actually works. But it's a write-only language. Debugging Assembler is low on my list of 'things I want to expose myself to'. And I have to admit I haven't looked at it since CPUs started going multi-core everywhere. I can't even begin to imagine playing with threading issues on it. More power to you.

LOL. The thing to note is that commenting each line of assembly is absolutely, positively necessary. That is the real code.

Me neither.

You're batshit crazy, and so am I. Watching a 12 ms elaboration dropping to 4.5 ms (under the same circumstances) is amazing.

Three words that will strike terror into the heart of every parent: "Some Assembly Required"
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
