In the beginning, open-source software was meant as a way for developers to scratch each other’s back. "Fear is the mind-killer."

The licensing nightmare of open source, yeah, ok, potentially scary. But what I find really scary is that droves of mediocre programmers are now pushing open source projects that get used without much any thought with regards to the underlying cruft, including the overall architecture. And even scarier still is the "Ooh, look! A shiny new open source project to use on our cancer cell zapper neutron beam gun!"

I totally want to start an Open Source project for this, now.
It would be nodejs, of course.

Well, technically, it was a punctuation error. Not a spelling error.

On July 4, NASA got an unexpected surprise: Its spacecraft, New Horizons, cut off communications with Earth as it was headed towards Pluto. It crashed into Mickey?

Well sh*t. This ain't good.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yeah. Incredibly bad timing with the flyby next week. Hopefully they can get it settled fast.

No, seriously, I hope they find a solution. Although it reads a little weird that transmission time between Earth and the probe is about four to five hours, but still they were able the reestablish a connection within 90 minutes. How does this work? Sending a request and getting a response would take at least eight to ten hours, wouldn't it?

Along with throwing out ActiveX, VBScript, and IE8 quirks mode, Microsoft has decided that Silverlight has no place in its upcoming Edge browser. So... are you saying there won't be a new version of Silverlight?

It's weird that Netflix uses Silverlight...it's pestered me a couple of times to either install or upgrade it...what happens when I get Edge?...have to use Chrome or FireFox?

Or use IE 11. It will still be there for a while (I assume for the lifetime of Windows 10).
But I gather Netflix will be moving to pure HTML 5 in due course - I'm guessing sooner rather than later.

I booted sliverblight off my computers a year ago. I've yet to see a single instance of Error: Silverblight not installed since. OTOH every second website I visit requires me to click to play flash videos. It's annoying enough that I'm tempted to go back to my old policy of having flash autoplay but writing content blocking rules to remove video divs from all new sites to stop them from autoplaying.
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?

Both Google and Bing like to let their hair down from time to time with some fun features on their search sites, like the rather spooky interactive homepages they served up for Halloween a couple of years back. Can I put in a request for Tetris next?
