As they are all based on an un-observable standard for "day"
How do you determine when a day starts; midnight, really?
In all reality shouldn't it be solar-noon when the sun is either at bearings 0 || 180?
And wouldn't a day be the time that elapses between consecutive noons?
There are only a handful of days every year a "measured day" is within seconds of 24 hours, it can be +/- up to 25 minutes as we wobble around the solar system,

The head of the Windows Insider program, Dona Sarkar, announced that Microsoft tech support has the tools to recover the missing files. She further suggested that those users who were missing the files call Microsoft support at +1-800-MICROSOFT for assistance. They'll post them all to a SharePoint file share. Please only download your files.

Admin, password and other weak passwords will no longer cut it. Is it OK if I change my password at the border?
|
|
|
|
|
hum.. so they will compare entered password with dictionary and if exists in dictionary then they wont accept that password
sounds good
but how can they ban it on every site on internet? that is not possible
|
|
|
|
|
Simple, they'll just need a government run botnet to do a brute force dictionary attack every site. If they're successful on any attempt then the site owner gets a fine.

C++ lets you do just about anything. If you can convince the compiler that you’ve written legal code, it will compile it. Of course, this means that you can, well, shoot yourself in the foot. Let’s take a look at some of the pitfalls of C++. Part N of a ever-expanding list

Nothing new in this list. Any competent C++ programmer knows to avoid these problems.

A team of researchers at Australia's Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has come up with a new type font called Sans Forgetica. Its purpose is to help readers remember what has been written using it. Before I forget about it

That's already so for Comic Sans.

If someone tried to make me read an entire document in captcha, I'm pretty sure hte only part I'd remember is that they have a highly punchable face.
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?

Homeland Security has said it has “no reason to doubt” statements by Apple, Amazon and Supermicro denying allegations made in a Bloomberg report published earlier this week. Or maybe *they're* part of the conspiracy?
|
|
|
|
|
The report made no sense; it basically said there was a magic bean on some motherboards. (Sounds to me that the Bloomberg reporter got majorly trolled. Or they listened to the nutty tech writers at Forbes who seem to never run out of things about which to panic.)
|
|
|
|
|
Seems like should be an easy thing to prove, if the report is at all accurate. Otherwise, just making stuff up again.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

New reports from Motherboard and MacRumors suggest that Apple’s 2018 MacBook Pro, as well as the iMac Pro, can be bricked if the repairs are not performed by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. But I thought they never needed repairing?

Can you do that with a MacBook? I thought they were solid pieces of shiny glory, given from on high. The only upgrades possible are stickers for the local hipster band/bar.
