There are two things you can say for sure about human beings: our opposable thumbs make us great at using tools, and we are all big, fat liars. By age four, 90% of children have grasped the concept of lying, and it just gets worse from there. If you can believe them

Aren't 70% of statistics made up?

A security researcher has found a potentially massive security hole in Windows 8 that would expose someone's contacts and other information from social networking services and email including Gmail, Facebook, Hotmail, LinkedIn, and Twitter, among others. It sounds serious, but there may be less to the security hole than meets the eye. No. Next question?

In a massive leak, some 55,000 Twitter accounts have been compromised, leaving them open for abuse. According to AirDemon, accounts belonging to celebrities were attacked in the process. And now spammers are wasting 140 characters at a time (OK, no change)

Why cant hackers do something worthwhile and trash Al Qaeda web servers and the servers that provide hosting for host them?
|

They occasionally do[^]... a lot of these hackers are generally young though, so sometimes they target things that may just be popular or easy to attack.

Redmond is cutting the name "Azure" out of the branding for its cloud services on its billing portal. I guess that's one way to settle the "how do you pronounce it" question
|

|
|
Now all those "Windows Azure" books are useless.

Oh, don't worry: this just gives them another reason to publish all new! versions.

The charges against Object/Relational mapping (ORM) tools can be summarized in that they are complex, and provide only a leaky abstraction over a relational data store. Their complexity implies a grueling learning curve and often systems using an ORM perform badly - often due to naive interactions with the underlying database. But as you can tell, I want to push back a bit against this ORM hate - because I think a lot of it is unwarranted. If you outlaw ORM, only outlaws will use ORM

Heck, JSOP may already be using one.

He may have had to use VB*, but I think he's smarter than to use an ORM.
* As did I.

So many recent exploits have used Java as their attack vector, you might conclude Java should be shown the exit. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave.

None of which I use. Not sure about the "etc" part, but I probably don't use those either.
Maybe it's time to look at one of those open source IDE's.

(As commented on the blog, by moi):
I would hope that the SCREAMING menubar is CONFIGURABLE. And how about getting with the 21st century, which would mean exposing the icons in the toolbars, tree controls, etc., so we can have different icons packs and not have to continue PLAYING LIKE CHILDREN with YOUR concept of "energy."
Or is that too COMPLICATED for you BRAINIACS to do with WPF?

Uttering expletives when you hurt yourself is a sensible policy, according to scientists who have shown swearing can help reduce pain. Go ahead: you know you want to
