It could be the pseudo higgs boson for a nearby superconducting strong interaction vacuum state I conjectured in the late 90th (see here[^], in could even has implications on dark energy problem, in case any one in interested to know

Researchers from Trustwave’s SpiderLabs discovered the spam emails, which come with an 'Install Latest Microsoft Windows Update now!' or 'Critical Microsoft Windows Update!’ subject line. Microsoft, of course, doesn’t send out Windows updates through email. It's bad enough we have to worry about the legitimate Windows updates

I thought Windows was hardened against this kind of crap.

IT operations teams and security teams within a company don’t communicate as well as they could, which makes the entire organisation more vulnerable to cyber-threats than it should be. "Why can't we all just get along?"

I disagree... there are companies where they are not more vulnerable.

That's my environment, though. The USAF has so much security absurdity in place that it's almost impossible to get anything done.

IBM, Microsoft and the Linux Foundation have partnered with the Open Invention Network (OIN), a company formed to protect Linux from patent threats, to take on "Patent Assertion Entities", also known as patent trolls. "Trolls are only counterfeits, made by the Enemy in the Great Darkness"

On the one hand, there’s an understandable desire to standardize — a set of approved languages can help reign in maintenance costs and long-term viability. But equally, many of us recognize the benefits of using whichever language the developer feels allows them to express themselves most eloquently. 42?
Or rather I guess 43 as 42 is the right number?

I don't!
I have seen time after time developers introduce frameworks and languages that they like and then impose on others with huge change and cost by re-writing perfectly maintainable systems because it was not in their currently favourite language.

There's no such thing as "too many languages".
Pretty much EVERY language ever developed fills a specific perceived need. When you get right down to it, it all results in binary code. You're pretty much restricted to using the language(s) required to do the job. Period. End of discussion.

Google wants less forking, more modularization for Android's Linux kernel. We want a standard kernel, instead of the standard kernel?
and now someone can post the "And now you have 15 standards" xkcd for me please?
