I will be working in precisely zero of those languages next year.

But JavaScript, for example, allows you to change types anytime you want, while the program is running.
Technically I could use my sink as a urinal but I just don't - and you know what, life is just better that way.

Bluebox Labs recently discovered a new serious security Android vulnerability. Google has released a fix for it. If you're not careful, though, you could still be in danger. So... was the hole fake, or the IDs?

One of the main problems with documenting code standards is that once the document is created, no one ever goes back and adjusts them as new languages and technologies are introduced, new guidelines are implicitly put into place, or existing guidelines are dropped. "The style is the man."

Scott Charney, of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing, said the government has "never" asked for a backdoor in Microsoft products. Yet a former engineer working on BitLocker claimed the government does ask, but those requests are “informal.” "On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea"

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

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?

Business executives at many organizations may be unaware that the operating system is running their companies' critical business functions. That's the point. Actually, the money for keeping VAX alive is there - some managers just need to get aware of the problem. With nuclear power plants depending on it, the funds can be raised easily.
Also MUMPS still exists, after OpenM, it is now called Caché. Who did expect it to make it into this millenium?
