In an effort to steer conversations in a kinder direction, Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation and founder of the GNU project, has announced the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines. GNU's not unwelcoming?

I knew it had to contain some gender neutral drivel in the first tenets. I also wish to be addressed as "they", and since I would become a multiple entity I demand honoring of such with multiple individual paychecks at the end of the month.

Article Quote: "The way we do this, rather than ordering people to be kind or else, is try to help people learn to make their communication more kind," Stallman explained.
The StackExchange/StackOverflow sites have decided to ignore these recommendations, because SE management has decided they are a honeypot for angry trolls.

SO's Angry Trolls are you'd have to admit, often more adept at logical thought than those that are typically the source of their ire.
While the troll may examine the circumstances of the opponent and or situation in which they face off, in order to come up with a stinging remark or backhander, the 'can haz codez plz' forum user usually doesn't even bother to google their question title.
Give me a seat amongst the trolls please, any old day. The others can all hold hands and cry together about how the smart man used some mean words, often in a bid to express frustration and impart knowledge upon the hapless young fool.
The trolls can laugh at one another, but the blind can teach one another little of concern.
The inability to brutalize QA abusers has turned that part of this site into a waste of my time. I'm absolutely against being nice to those that initiate a conversation by refusing to be polite and acknowledge the conventions of the place they're in.
Stackoverflow was never designed to be nice, or for hanging out. It's designed to be about as fun as a dictionary. People that fail to acquaint themselves with its customs before hitting the question-box invariably deserve all the love they get. It's autism-central, not a bloody nightclub.

Italian investigation found software updates ‘significantly reduced performance’, hastening new purchases "Slow down, you move too fast"

What nonsense. I don't know of anyone who has ever bought a new phone because their old one was too slow.

Odd... I do know people that bought a new phone, just because there was a new shinier one.

Well that update includes security fixes, which takes some processing time.
And where the section relating to windows updates deliberting slowing down PC's forcing updates. Or motorway speed limits being increased from 50 to 70 in the 1960's! It was a back end deal by the car companies to force out old cars and get people buying new ones to be able to drive on the motorways safely.

This won't get very far. Considering how powerful the lobby aimed at the FCC over net neutrality was, this effort would likely receive a far larger assault from them but this would be aimed at Congress, not just the five members of the FCC.

"anyone can have access to thousands of servers, for fractions of a second, for just a few dollars" [^]
Gosh, what could go wrong ?Quote: The system, called Sprocket, was made possible by an innovative process that breaks down video files into extremely small pieces and then moves these pieces between thousands of servers every few thousands of a second for processing. All this happens in the cloud and allows researchers to harness a large amount of computing power in a very short amount of time. Sprocket was developed and written by CSE graduate students Lixiang Ao and Liz Izhikevich (now a PhD student at Stanford).
SPROCKET doesn't just cut down the amount of time needed to process video, it is also extremely cheap. For example, two hours of video can be processed in 30 seconds with the system, instead of tens of minutes with other methods, for a cost of less than $1.
"Before, you could get access to a server for a few hours. Now, with cloud computing, anyone can have access to thousands of servers, for fractions of a second, for just a few dollars," said George Porter, an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering here at UC San Diego and one of the lead researchers on the project, as well as computer science professor Geoff Voelker.
