When you look up at the moon, there may now be a few thousand water bears looking back at you. That's one small crash for a satellite, one giant leap for all water bears
Unlikely they survived the crash, but never bet against those boogers.

Are they f***ing mad?
Let's take some cats and rabbits to Australia, because they'll make it a better place!
Let's bring some of those pretty algae to Europe, because they're so decorative!
Only a f***ing lunatic would introduce species to the moon that might thrive there!
I really despair of the utter, total, and indisputable stupidity of rocket scientists, sometimes.

It is possible to thoroughly hijack a nearby vulnerable Qualcomm-based Android phone, tablet, or similar gadget, via Wi-Fi, we learned on Monday. This likely affects millions of Android devices. This is what happens when you phone in your security?
"The good news is that all the bugs have been patched by Qualcomm. Now for the bad news. When exactly these fixes will filter down to actual Android users is not clear."

OK, Chaps!
You now have an excuse for the missus to buy a new phone!
Sometimes these "security researchers" do indeed serve a noble purpose.

Sometimes it’s good not to get all the attention. I'm sure they'd like all those monopolies to be broken up!

Yeah, right.
Over the past few months, issue after issue has been noticed where ms is reaping data of a more personal nature than things like google's "location data used to serve ads" cr@p.
And, strangely enough, the data they've been reaping is precisely the kind of data that isn't wanted by ad agencies; it's precisely the kind of data that's wanted by the US and UK governments.
So the US government's "approval" of ms may well be somewhat more sinister than people like computerworld have noticed.
Tip: If you don't actually need to go to microsoft.com: firewall it, at least or a few months (until the story breaks).

This post is an introduction to the most important standards and sets you on the course to other resources that can help build your C# prowess. Because all arguments need a starting premise
Then you can start disagreeing from there.
But don't just automatically gainsay anything the other person says.

It's a fully featured dependency explorer but it's all in text mode and doesn't require me to use the mouse and take my hands of the keyboard. Will you find it useful? It Depends
It just makes me homesick for Norton Commander

So we're stuck between moronic companies who think that huge, tappable icons on full-screen apps is "the way of the future!", and idjits who think that command-line and text-only interfaces are "The only way to go!"
Rock, meet Hard Place. Hard Place, Rock.

Based on what "Depends" are in the US. I guess after software and hardware the natural progression would be underwear.

Some years ago, I participated in a meeting of major organizations—some of them world-famous —about metrics. It's also why you can't have a meeting between SI agile developers and Imperial ones
Ugh, blurb so lame. Apologies, but my brain is on break. If anyone sees it, please tell it to come home. Or if you have a spare, please mail it in.

I'd say that one good metric for a web-site is that, unlike forbes.com, it stores fewer than 250 snooping cookies on every visitor's machine, and does not demand that a script be installed to disable some of them.

An entire article arguing for metrics in Agile projects, presented without any metrics to support his assertion.

I see that article as one more reason for the US to avoid going metric.
