Here is an ice cube you do not want to put in your Diet Coke: A solid lattice of oxygen atoms with protons whizzing around inside of it. This ice is not normal on Earth, but might be elsewhere. And scientists have created it in a lab. I usually think of a different phase of matter there
Yes, I'm juvenile. But Herschel should have picked a better name if he didn't want to hear my sniggering.

WHY remoting a company code and services outside the company itself will always baffle me. If I'm not responsible for, cannot destroy or physically protect my data then they are not my data.

Since 2012 I still have the official thanks on the University site from the professor of Computer Architectures because I built and distributed a self installing bundle of DOS + MASM on Dosbox. Nobody was capable of installing it, understanding it and editing autoexec.bat.
I didn't do it for the glory: I helped A friend in the lab. A friend of his asked him how did he isntall MASM with a fairly loud voice and he pointed the finger at me. While the whole laboratory, 200 people, was watching.

Developers rely on software platforms to deliver high-quality software, but find platform providers aren’t doing a good enough job in helping them do so. "Why you gotta be so undemanding?"

I'm finding I am liking Mozilla more and more recently.
The new Firefox is an immense improvement, and pushing for open standards in IoT can only be good.

Con artists pushing tech-support scams have an arsenal of ways to lock up the browsers of potential marks. On Tuesday, a researcher disclosed a new weapon that freezes Google Chrome, which, by most measures, is the Internet's most widely used browser. Task Manager is your friend

Forget Meltdown and Spectre. Someone's found a local privilege escalation in the operating system world's elderly statesman OpenVMS when running it on VAX and Alpha processors. Good thing no one uses that anymore

Making it illegal for any bank licensed to operate in the US/deal with US securities (this includes most major international banks) from doing business with anyone who's WTE-coin doesn't comply should largely limit abuse to levels similar to other types of scams.
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?

If everything goes according to plan, a very big rocket will take off from Florida on Feb. 6. It will rise beyond Earth's orbit and enter a highly elliptical orbit around the sun — periodically passing close to Mars. Compensating?
