Viewing agile as a business movement—not just a development movement—can influence improved alignment between development teams and key stakeholders such as sales, marketing and customer service. Adopting the agile mindset of team-based work and continual improvement in business functions could even improve basic processes such as customer service and support. Duh, when will businesses get it?

Haha, I mean what is agile really anyway? Working together? Do we really need a methodology to tell us we should work together?

That's nice, but when are they going to port WPF and give us a native IDE that runs under Linux?

Scientists at the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) have proven beyond reasonable doubt that Einstein was wrong about one of the main principles of quantum mechanics and that "spooky action at a distance" is actually real. Spooky

Einstein was wrong a lot. But I guess so was Edison.

Science IS wrong, it is ALWAYS wrong. Because we discover things bit by bit, approximating and with finite datasets limited by technology - which evolves when we are at least partially right, allowing us to discover whole new data that point out the errors and mistakes of the cycle before, then we make new extrapolations and approximationx which are limited by technology, which evolves...

No, it's not wrong. It's just not completely right. Or more commonly: it's correct to within a certain margin of error.

Define "width of universe".
(See, Einstein was right!)

Everything is relative... until it becomes absolute
Everything is right... until it is proved wrong
It has been needed some decades to find this out. Maybe in some decades more this is wrong as well.

From headline I thought this was referring to relativity. Instead, it's just a more robust confirmation of quantum entanglement.

There are a lot of new features in the release, but the overall theme here is to simplify the service and to provide developers with a more integrated experience across Xamarin’s growing number of tools and services. Now with even more stuff I'm too lazy to look up and comment on

Microsoft last week fulfilled a promise made in May to give businesses the tools to delay Windows 10 feature upgrades for up to a year after consumers begin running the operating system's latest changes. It's a big pause button

On my work PC:
0) Start windows update.
1) Check for updates.
2) Wait a minute.
3) No updates found.
4) Check online for updates from MS.
5) Wait a bunch of minutes.
6) 155 important updates are available. 46 optional updates are available.
For the most part they're non-security updates at least; but scrolling down the list shows 1 VS2010 security update, 6 VS 2008 security updates, and one VS 2005 security update (and I never installed that version on any of my computers here) that weren't pushed via normal channels.
It also shows 36 updates for Office 2013 which I had for a few days before rolling back to 2010 because Lync barfed after I installed all of the 2013 security patches that IT pushed. Gotta wonder if some of the regular patches they didn't push would've fixed it; but now that it's uninstalled why does windows update think I still need them. I also have 8 updates for office 2007 which has been gone for years if it was ever installed on this PC at all. Looking at my old email I think the 2010 upgrade happened on my old computer; but I won't rule out dregs being left on the corporate image if they did a 2007 to 2010 upgrade there instead of building a new one. OTOH it might all be sharepoint designer 07 crud which is a separate in and of itself, with the amount of time the external site lags behind the internal one a bonus on top of everything else.
Edit: Looked at the optional ones too. 34 of them are language packs; and thus fully ignorable. There're a few driver updates, a SQL server service pack (for as long as it's been since I've ran that locally i should probably just uninstall it actually). The only thing that looks legit on that list is IE11. (Yes, we're still using internot exploded 10 here.) With no evidence beyond past history (every previous IE upgrade followed an upgrade to a new version of it, and it currently being busted in FF), I'm going to blame the Deltek timesheet/etc web app for being the browser blocker again.
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?
