If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think that's setting the bar weigh too low: I'd prefer no one over twenty-stone even get in the car.

As you know, Microsoft earlier opened the floodgates for the Creators update this month, so users all over the world were now being prompted to update to Windows 10 version 1703. Perhaps a nice forced download, or upgrade now popup is in order?

A Fortinet report released this week highlights the importance of keeping secure systems up to date, or at least a few cycles off the main release, albeit this is not recommended, but better than leaving systems unpatched for years. If the hack ain't broke, keep using it?

UNSW Sydney scientists have discovered the purpose of a famous 3700-year old Babylonian clay tablet, revealing it is the world's oldest and most accurate trigonometric table, possibly used by ancient mathematical scribes to calculate how to construct palaces and temples and build canals. If Ur is on a donkey travelling east at five cubits an hour, and Biff is on a camel travelling west at 10 leagues per day...

That right there is some solid humor.
Keep up the great work with the tag lines and blurbs.

Hi, Bernhard,

fyi: the authors' original publication in Historia Mathematica: [^]

The concepts of Agile software development are well understood, more than a decade after the original manifesto was put to paper. It calls for things such as “people over process” and “responding to change over following a plan.” Is that like having yoga classes for everyone before work?

The Linux Foundation’s 2017 Open Source Jobs Report confirms that the hiring market for developers with open source skills is hot, hot, hot. Sharing code is a skill now?

What the heck is "open source skills?" Creating a GitHub account and posting a pet project?
According to this article, (yes, I actually googled "what are open source skills") they are:
- Developers
This could include skills like Linux, Unix, Apache, Hadoop and other open source platforms that span technology areas like software development, big data, data center technology and security.
- DevOps
they are more reliant than ever on open source code and projects, and the talent to integrate it with backend cloud services, and to transform hardware-centric solutions into 'software defined' technology,
- Cloud Tech
OpenStack, CloudStack and other cloud-centric technologies were cited as areas of focus by 51 percent of hiring managers surveyed.
- Networking
Networking, too, is in high demand, with 21 percent of hiring managers looking for talent with those skills
- Storage
he need to access data, files and information shared via networking, by multiple users from multiple locations, from shared resources in the cloud means a perfect storm of demand for distributed storage talent
And this relates to open source how? Oh yeah:
Much of the demand is driven by the fact that open source code is an integral part of today's connected digital world
OK. Finish the thought for me. Here's a hint -- it's still code and usually poorly documented apps, that requires training to become skilled at. No different than closed source, except that open source, support is worse (but you could pay for it sometimes) and the apps, dependencies, etc., are all moving targets.
Oh, and let's not forget those pesky license agreements.

Fun fact: if you’ve got a child under the age of ten, hashtags are officially older than them. Before then, it just wasted space on the keyboard?
Ignoring IRC, its use in HTTP, and HTML. And those poor C programmers just couldn't include anything.
