95% of the time when I find a page loading painfully slowly it's because the browser is preferentially rendering the dozen site navigation and related content divs (aka HTML5 buzzword compliant banner/sidebar ads); and that the page is only a single div blocking adblock rampage away from being usable 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?

Germany and Brazil are the main sponsors of the resolution on privacy in the digital age. That should help. Everyone listens to what the UN says

I think I may have detected a hint of sarcasm there.

Security experts believe the Internet of Things will be used to kill someone. Going to be interesting trying to handcuff that perp

Evidently this was released around Nov. 21: [^]. I read about the fix on this recently edited StackOverFlow post which I think is by a MS employee: [^].
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

I am fascinated by this device, and what its existence may imply for our understanding of the historical origins of homo-sap use of technology ! And, no, I don't think The Aliens, or an obelisk from outer-space, arrived some time way-back-then with tutorials, and sample code.
I admit to a bias, an unprovable "inner conviction" that in the last 50k or so years of homo-sap evolution there has been little difference in the potential level to which intelligence can be developed.

OmniSharp is a family of Open Source projects, each with one goal - To enable great .NET development in YOUR editor of choice. .NET in Vim, as nature intended

I like Nano for the Linux console...been wanting to port MS DOS Edit to the Linux console for years...for nostalgia if nothing else.
Back in school I used to use this DOS based editor called PC-Write[^] ...it was the cat's meow.

I think it's well known that beer is one of mankind's greatest inventions. But aside from the perfect taste, and ability to make in-laws seem magically more tolerable, it turns out that beer also has its very own built-in anti-spill mechanism. Even harder to spill if it's in your stomach
But anyway, "Science!"

Looks like great excuse for Mrs. Wife - "I'm not drinking again! It's the science experiment!"

Windows Phone 8.1 accounted for more than 50 percent of all Windows Phone usage in November. It closed October with 46.7 percent of the market. "Mission Accomplished"
|
|
|
|
|
So...over 50% of 2.38%[^]?
Go get'em, guys.

A Microsoft posting reveals deep-seated issues. Pfft, it's simple. Use Windows Forms, no... WPF. Definitely Silverlight, wait, maybe HTML/JS?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stable, well known issues and workarounds. Definetely better than the half-legged WPF!
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, but only the dullard cannot cope with the beauty of WPF. 
|
|
|
|
|
While I agree there is work to be done!
I love the up coming perf tool and better DirectX last integration, and the suggestion in the article of easier styling, WPF ain't that bad!

That is because you are a gentleman of wit and banter.
