Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

In a study published Thursday in Science, Ishiyama and his adviser, Michael Brecht, not only found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies, but also that these signs of joy changed according to the rodents' moods. So... how did you spend those research grants?

Russian antivirus vendor Kaspersky Lab has asked antitrust regulators in various countries (including the European Union and Russia) to make Microsoft stop giving an unfair advantage to Windows Defender. Whatever happened to just winning by being a better product?
Like PC Tools, DESQview, and OS/2? (oh, and VAX)

Ten years on, Java founder James Gosling sees upside in the open source move, while others believe Sun didn't go far enough. How about open(ish) source?

State Machines and business processes that describe a series of states seem like they'll be easy to code but you'll eventually regret trying to do it yourself. "While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State."

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that in Visual Studio “15” we’ve been focused on making our developer tools easier to install, increasing performance, and enhancing developer productivity. We’ve been doing the same for extensions, and it’s time to talk a bit more about the implications of these changes both on extension authors and on customers who are using extensions. Because VS isn't beefy enough - it needs extensions

Researchers from Dalhousie University (Canada) and the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) have published a working paper detailing a proof-of-concept attack on smart lightbulbs that allows them to wirelessly take over the bulbs from up to 400m, write a new operating system to them, and then cause the infected bulbs to spread the attack to all the vulnerable bulbs in reach, until an entire city is infected. Remind me again why we need internet-connected light bulbs?

So the maintenance crew knows when one is burnt out and needs replaced. Simple.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

For that you don't need the bulb connected to the internet. There are a lot of alternatives.

Smart lightbulbs, smart fridges, smart watches, smart ovens... they are needed to offset the evident lack of smartness (I'm being extremely polite) of the owners.

A bug in the iOS WebView component allows an attacker to force someone's iPhone to dial any number, while also locking the user's interface for a few moments, preventing him to cancel the outgoing call. Safari is the new IE?
OK, IE is the new IE. And so is Edge. Maybe we should just give up on this whole browser thing. Go back to Telnet. Nothing bad ever happened then.

The bigger issue is: leprosy is so slow acting it can be years from initial infection until onset of symptoms. If detected, it is easily treated with antibiotics.
