If they said people wouldn't probably take the update
M.D.V. 
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.

And that place too, I'll stick with my w7. If and when I'll be forced to accept W10 I'll probably install updates only after they had been reverse engineered and cracked.

It was such a beautiful dream. The openness of Google, matched with the control of Apple. Quality and quantity, optimised apps that anyone would be free to make. All married together with a bold sense of style and the massive branding power of Microsoft, there was no way that Windows Phone 7 could lose.

You can't handle the Truth!
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

In a rare look at the company’s networking technology, Google showed how it moved from using vendor switches in 2004 to building its own hardware a year later to shuttle data among servers in its data centers. That's *exactly* how I have my home network set up!

When you think of Microsoft’s IDE, Visual Studio 2015, perhaps you can be forgiven for not immediately thinking of COBOL. Micro Focus is rectifying the dearth of COBOL support in Microsoft’s newest of IDE with today’s release of Visual COBOL for Visual Studio: a software package that brings full support for the ancient language into the modern enterprise life-cycle environment.
As with previous releases of Visual COBOL, this version includes full-fledged support for the language: IntelliSense, smart editing, auto-complete, code analysis and debugging tools are all here. Additionally, Visual COBOL allows developers to mix their applications with .NET and C# code, bringing more flexibility to their COBOL stacks.
Wait, COBOL still exists?

It still exists BIG time, script kiddies!
Most of the world's finance, insurance and governments still run on COBOL... which might explain a lot!

To fight back, there have been a number of sites that have started to list the stories Google is forced to stop linking to. In the latest twist, Google has now been ordered to remove links to contemporary news reports about the stories that were previously removed from search results. And then forget about forgetting about forgetting about those pages

On Wednesday, Github published a graph tracking the popularity of various programming languages on its eponymous internet service, a tool that lets anyone store, edit, and collaborate on software code. I'll take "Strange Conclusions" for 200, Alex

Yes, strange conclusion indeed. If they had said, Java is winning (for now), then that would've been accurate.

When compared to office-dwelling counterparts, managing a remote team has always been a challenge. But at least these days, modern technology helps the cause more than ever. Skype (etc) is your friend

Interesting: I wrote a similar article about 8 years ago based on my experience with globally disparate teams and outsourcing. Nothing much changes except what we call processes and the technologies we use to deal with the detail.

Skype/Google Hangout/whatever
Asana is a piece of confusing crap - I spend more time figuring out how to add a task or mark it as completed than I do implementing the task. I still haven't figured out how to get it to not show me completed tasks.
GitHub of course (or its variants)
Slack: Slack is an absolute must (or something very similar to it)
JIRA is, well, cumbersome, pathetic UI, but useful
TeamViewer / whatever remote desktop software you want to use (TeamViewer was pretty sucky but it seems to have improved lately)
What other tools do you remote gals/guys use?

I'm curious about your opinion of Slack - I've seen similar shining reviews. What makes you feel that way about it? Is it just "IM with a history", or should I actually take the time to look at it?
