Nope. I'd much rather wear shorts, a print tshirt, and sneakers; than hose, a shirt with ruffles and lace, and pointy toed boots with heels.
PS get your minds out of the gutter, I mean this not that.
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 you've ever attempted a Sudoku puzzle, or tried to remember the names in Game of Thrones, then the chances are you've felt a burning in your skull that rivals DOMs following leg day. That explains why I've gained so much weight lately

Jet suits, jetpacks, jetboards ... The new range of crazy personal flight devices all share some things in common: plenty of people would love to fly one, very few have the cash to own one, and even fewer can probably be trusted to fly them safely and legally. It's a bird, it's a plane...

Wasn't the reason that development of the personal stand-on helicopter was dropped by the US Army in the 60s/70s because a soldier was way too vulnerable when flying on the platform? The same thing surely applies to ship boarding. I suppose one might argue that a RIB or helicopter is equally vulnerable, so this is no worse and expands the range of boarding options.
I wonder if this is more of a recruiting tool. It's something nice to think of while you're going through the hellfun of training or sitting neck-deep in a bog in a jungle somewhere.

A driver that’s been pushed for the past 12 years to Dell computer devices for consumers and enterprises contains multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to increased privileges on the system. Dude - you're getting a malware attack!

Buer malware is back and it's written in a completely different coding language than it was before - but it's still being used to infect users to make them vulnerable to other cyber attacks. Everyone's jumping on the Rust bandwagon!

Disney has finally showed off a first look at its “real” retractable lightsaber, which the company started teasing in April, with a new video showing the saber in action — and it looks very, very cool. Alas, the local store is sold out of Khyber crystals

A pretty good article, though I was going to hoot derisively at its suggestion to schedule pair programming sessions. But wow, this is probably one of those rare instances where it actually makes sense--as long as both parties can hold their farts.

It sure is, because it involves sacrifice no matter how it turns out!

What? I thought the process was:
1) Be given computer
2) Be introduced
3) Spend 30-60 days trying to figure out why you were hired.

That’s the non-fiction version. This is the alternative.

At the large company where I worked for many years, one innovative manager had a desktop application developed circa 1990. Its moniker was BOSS: Buns On SeatS. Managers used it to register new hires and internal transfers. It provided a checklist, along with procedures, for getting a cube and workstation, scheduling orientation and technical courses, and so on. It also recorded the date and time of arrival, and who would meet the employee at the entrance and take them to get badged. The application was a resounding success because there were stories of people showing up on their first day with no one knowing which department had hired them and, once that got sorted, of having to work in the cafeteria until a cube and workstation could be arranged.

Sometimes Windows updates just don’t work, and a Microsoft-recommended “sfc /scannow” or DISM command won’t help. So what’s a prudent Windows user to do? Isn't it always?
