That's the best form of security. I have well over 100 accounts with passwords; either it's P@ssword! or writing them all down (albeit in a secure place.)

Last week, after seven years of work, Nintendo fan ZeroPaige finally released a working port of Super Mario Bros. for the Commodore 64. Just Nintendo things.
|

I'm not sure what shocks me more, that someone is willing to spend seven years to recreate Super Mario or that there's apparently a thriving C64 hobbyist scene 
And come on, Nintendo, it's not like you're losing sales over this or it costs you anything or whatever, so why take it down AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF HARD LABOR?!?! 
|

|
|
|
Actually, if Nintendo did nothing they could lose their trademark.

Not sure how, but that's perverse
I mean, there's plenty of fan fiction, fan art, fan everything (not for Mario specifically, but for any fictional character).

I couldn't write jokes this funny.

Windows 7 users have started to report the appearance of a pop-up message from Microsoft informing them that support for the operating system is coming to an end. Goodbye my friend will I ever love again

For two periods last year, those using preview builds of Windows 10 could access a feature called Sets: a tabbed interface that was eventually to allow tabs to be put in the titlebar of just about any window. Come. We will honour Sets memory. *grabs kazoo*

Let's get real, here.
As ms currently is, they'd have F***ed it up really badly, so we're better off using third-party stuff, anyway/

Don't bother with Stardock's Groupy. It causes far more problems with Excel than it ever solves. Could be a good product, but low levels of service and denial of the problem means updates don't exist

Okidoki; a different third-party product.
Thanks for the tip.

That seems like a feature I have no interest in. I usually want to see the various command windows at the same time. The same with multiple explorer windows. I would rather be able to have the explorer work like the old file manager did with views of two drives open in the same window. For this reason, I still use the old file manager. It's been released as open source and I built it as a 64-bit app. It has some warts but it works well for 98% of what I need to do.

There's a set of H-series processors for laptops and a complete range of desktop processors across the Celeron, Pentium, and Core brands, from i3 all the way to i9. Intel was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I hope they have installed a good ventilator too, just in case it melts-down

Some Microsoft employees are criticizing the company's efforts to increase hiring from under-represented demographics to make its staff more diverse, according to messages leaked to Quartz. It takes a special sort of person to think, "you know what would be really good for my career? penning a complaint about how our company is too diverse, and then putting my name on it."

too much diversity?

Quote: Threads started by an as-yet unnamed female program manager and posted on the internal Yammer message board in January and April assert that white and Asian men are being penalized or overlooked because of hiring practices that reward managers for hiring people outside of those groups.
Penalizing certain groups of people based on their colour and / or ethnicity (as the article suggests) is surely racist. Hire the best, irrespective of their race, religion or ethnicity.

The whole point of positive discrimination, for those incapable of grasping it, is that existing hiring practices are already discriminatory - to redress this requires breaking that pattern.

Positive discrimination is still discrimination. Just hire the most qualified irrespective of race, gender, religion or ethnicity.

Wireless customers are hanging on to their old phones longer than ever. Well now that I've stopped using iPhone they tend to last longer.

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had since just after the S6 came out.
My wife thinks it's time for new phones, so I'm looking at the S9+.

It may be the last phone in Sammy land without a hole or notch! Went from an S5 to a Note 8 via the Note 7, and love the 8. You will probably love the 9+. So much faster without the 16gb limitation. And the cameras are in a whole different league! Enjoy!
