I still don't know who Windows 8 and windos 10 are designed for ?
It is not for people like me, that "Don't" want to share all of my information(and bandwidth) with the world.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

If this troubles you, or seems surprising, you may be doomed.

Well they were not designed for the 'Masses" so they are in trouble.

I reverted to Windows 7 last night - happily MS had made the process very easy.

Gone back to Windows 7?
That's like jumping into the mud, finding out that was a bad idea, jumping back out and thinking you're clean.

I have had very few problems with Win 7.

Hope it stays that way.

I think he means... why don't format?

I'm gonna stay on Windows 7 forever! There really isn't anything that I want improved on it.

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology College of Computing developed a new cyber security analysis method that discovered 11 previously unknown Internet browser security flaws. In related news: the sun rose today, and bears can really be messy in the woods

In a research paper titled Mobile Internet from the Heavens, Farooq Khan, president of Samsung research and development in Texas, proposes creating a network of 4,600 micro-satellites, to bring low-cost internet to everyone. Well, that one-ups the cloud folk anyway

Might they call it the "nebula"?

Samsung already have Galaxies; they'd better call it the Cluster.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Because there is not enough space junk already.

Quote: Khan goes on to concede that current electronics aren't powerful enough to realize his vision, but expects the research being done on chips to eventually deliver the necessary performance.
While Khan begins discussing his vision for satellites, Google’s balloons and Facebook’s planes are already being tested. If Samsung is serious about its plans for a space internet, it may need to move more quickly.
... or maybe Khan is looking at the generation of hardware that will succeed SpaGoo^H^H^Alph Book's systems.
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?

So, once again, the place I am currently working has been interviewing for some more programmers and we’ve had to laugh at some of the answers we’ve received on some pretty simple question. "Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby"

The potential programmers surely didn't read the "Interview questions on XXX" row of articles here...

I'm surprised he made a few errors that I would expect junior devs to make, but not senior ones, especially ones commenting about how people interviewing for them couldn't answer some of these correctly.
Quote: What is the difference between the keyword “String” and the keyword “string”?
"String" (capitalized S) isn't a keyword, it's a class/type name.
Quote: A the value of a value type occupies memory on the stack and when you do an assignment from one value type to another the data is copied from one memory location to the other. Each variable is changed in isolation to the other.
A reference type is a variable on the stack that points to memory in the heap that actually holds the value. When you do an assignment from one reference type to another, only the pointer is copied. In the end, both variables point to the same location on the heap.
A value type does not necessarily go on the stack - it can be allocated on the heap (as value-type member fields of a class are), or in a register (as the jitter determines is best). This is one of the most common incorrect statements I hear made in C#, and for some reason is a very common interview question. Additionally, the pointer/reference (or "variable" as he calls it) to the "reference type" object is also not necessarily stored on the stack.
