I could say "told you so", but I already told you so.
Don't use products that are cloud based, or that connect to a company for continued license validation.
You WILL be burnt for it. I learned my lesson years ago. Never again.
My company actually gives me Adobe Create Suite with everything in it - for free. But I find myself using Gimp more and more because I just don't want to deal with the licensing headache every day, and the looming threat that one time when I need it it won't work because it "thinks" I'm not licensed. (That's already happened to me twice in the last 2 years).
Thanks, but no thanks.

I think I will relegate Logitech to disposable devices like mice and keyboards since they have clearly demonstrated that they are not trustworthy with anything beyond that.

USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. Linux with driver issues?

Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but, yeah but Windows is so insecure and you can't even recompile the kernel.

Wow.
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???

As the co-creator of Structured Query Language (SQL), Don Chamberlin knows a thing or two about pulling data out of relational databases. So when he spoke at the user conference for NoSQL database vendor Couchbase last week, it raised a few eyebrows. A lack of pretty rows and columns?

What about taking a look not only at JSON, but also at the Hierarchical Database paradigm, as it was typical of the 1960ies in programming languages like MUMPS?
Having worked with such a dinosaur long ago, I see more similarities between JSON and hierarchical dbs than between JSON and relational dbs.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Because JSON is the hierarchical cluster ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) data model know to several orders of magnitude more devs these days than any pre-sql relic. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Researchers have introduced a new computing problem and shown that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a classical computer to solve, but in theory it could be efficiently solved using quantum techniques. Not my problem

When the researchers were asked if they were familiar with "classical computers" they said "I know classical computers like the Bach of Johann"... ba dum bah...

Mixed feelings here. Not because I like this sort of crap; but because the companies producing it always come up with newer and more obnoxious replacements each time their old dumpsterfire gets larted out of existence.

Software developers are involved at all levels of the software purchase process, with 43% often involved with evaluating software and 50% sometimes involved. In related news, 7% of companies are doing it wrong?

But...wait...
Doesn't that mean that 57% are seldom uninvolved?
And...
article wrote: 50% sometimes involved
50% are sometimes not involved?
107% are sometimes not involved.... 
I am confused and seldom involved.

By uploading the images or videos you fear may be shared in the future in an attempt to shame or harass you online, Facebook can digitally “hash” the media, effectively giving it a digital footprint. Now there's an article to make you feel safer; go ahead, you know you can trust FaceBook

If you have pictures that are not to be consumed by human eyes...why did you take it in the first place? There won't be any speedo pics of me out there. Look like a water balloon being strangled by a rubber band.
