Do you mean VNC?

Derp. Yeah.
Then again, maybe it's got VLC in there as well. Streaming music or something.

While not a new concept, a new decentralized service is beta testing a peer-to-peer network that would "rent" unused capacity from your computer's hard drive as part of a cloud service to store files from other users. OK, never mind that Seagate guy. Problem solved.

yikes, the legal minefield this jumps into spread-eagled, should have surely killed the project before it even starts.

Mark Whitby, SVP of branded products at Seagate, walks us through the fascinating world of storage, warning us of the dangers of not producing enough data and introducing us to the concept of the Zettabyte. Well, maybe they could get busy then?

Are they still in business?

Yes - making hype.

Openness by itself does not yield more secure code, but a new dependence on open source by major software players could ensure more rigorous scrutiny. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." (except when they aren't)

Bugs also become shallow when you race down the interstate at 90mph (145km/h)

Quote: Credit Zemlin with jumping on Heartbleed fast. In the wake of the disaster, he quickly formed the Core Infrastructure Initiative and signed up Amazon Web Services, Adobe, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, NEC, Qualcomm, Rackspace, Salesforce, and VMware -- all of which pledged to contribute $100,000 annually for a minimum of three years.
With those funds Zemlin has been able to "employ the Steves full time" (actually Dr. Henson and Andy Polyakov) to work on OpenSSL.
$2 million/year in guaranteed funding and they're only able to hire two full time developers. And I thought my employer's overhead rates stank.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Instead, blame developer laziness. But this can be fixed. "She's come undone"

...do blame ads though. And trackers. And analytics.

The most popular language of 2014 was JavaScript, says the language index TIOBE. Meanwhile Java’s popularity hasn’t been this low since the dramatic arrival of Python in 2004. VB selected as "Miss Congeniality"

PERL more than doubled in popularity according to TIOBE.
That is all. Nothing more needs to be said.

Today, GitHub and Microsoft are making Visual Studio Community 2013 available as part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack. Free tools, now free

GitHub is the home of a strong open source community, including hundreds of Microsoft projects
Hmm, there's over 1.1 million GitHub projects (reference[^]) and only several hundred Microsoft projects.
Should give Soma pause.

True. I think 'the pause' is one of the main reasons they seem to be bolting everything they can to GitHub, trying to get more attention.

The Future of Life Institute wants humanity to tread lightly while on the road to really smart, and not so cuddly, robots. That's good. If the AI actually reads the letter.

I asked Cortana - she says there's nothing to worry about so that's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that's a load off my mind.
I wonder about Siri though.
