I was just making a sarcastic and nostalgic joke about Internet Explorer, because Kent Sharkey posts some good articles and sometimes adds some funny comments.

The problem with Edge is that is cuts.

Four new elements complete the seventh row of the periodic table Can I borrow a cup of ununseptium?
Isn't that a double negative? So it's like septium?

It's spreads like septium, but it tastes like ununseptium!

The various privacy concerns surrounding Windows 10 have received a lot of coverage in the media, but it seems that there are ever more secrets coming to light. As long as they're not timing my Freecell games, I'm fine.

Because they're going to a Window that comes with a warranty so they don't have people dragging on, like they did with XP. Once the warranty period has expired you're on your own.
I started a small engine repair shop with my father-in-law and his warranty was 3 sec. or 3 ft. whichever comes first.

I’ve been reading some of the commentary on my post about 64-bit Visual Studio which is really about 64-bit vs. 32-bit generally using Visual Studio as an example and I have to say that for the most part, I’m pretty disappointed with the arguments being put forth in favor of 64-bits. YAGNI

I look forward to 1024-bit registers and buswidths.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes to do a 1024 bits integer division. Should be the longest instruction then.

Yes, but still faster than trying to do it with a biginteger class.

2015 was the year Linux and open-source software took over the IT world, but many open-source and proprietary software fans still haven't figured it out. Did I miss The Year Of Linux?

What did they win?

It has nothing to do with Linux as Os but Linux as a symbol of open-source...In 2015 we saw that software giants (Microsoft, Apple) finaly started to release their code - and a lot of smaller companies took the same approach...It is definitely a triumph for the open-source community...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Java has won the TIOBE Index programming language award of the year. This is because Java has the largest increase in popularity in one year time (+5.94%). Seeing as how the runner up was VB.NET, I'm calling shenanigans
Although I imagine Java is probably the most commonly used language these days

I have always been highly suspicious of TIOBE rankings. It may be that other parts of the world are somewhat different, but these really don't seem to gel with my experience around here (Bristol, UK).
