Ellison claims Oracle's new servers would have stopped Heartbleed in its tracks. Well, all you security guys can go home now. Job's done.

Thanks Ellison! Now I don't have to worry about software security ever cause he said so. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I'd certainly hope servers released this long after heartbleed would have been patched against it. 
Oh wait, he means that if heartbleed was discovered today, his customers would be safe because they spent so much money on overpriced hardware and software licenses that they didn't have any money left in the budget to start building any public facing websites to run on their shiny new moneypits. 
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?

There are potentially 13M people having their accounts abused not just on 000webhost, but in all sorts of other places due to password resue and these guys don't seem to give a damn.
...
000webhost was breached, original copy that you most likely have was dumped in March.
...
The database is selling for upwards of $2,000 right now.
TL;DR - if you use 000webhost, and there's any possibility that you've used the same password elsewhere, your accounts are almost certainly compromised.

Makes a great Samhain (Halloween) story: [^].
"Mr McKeown has dubbed the idea ‘Preserved Memories’ and claims that people would be able to construct a reality to avoid ever having to say goodbye to loved ones.
'In the future with Preserved Memories, you will never have to experience the loss of a loved one,” he said. “You will be able to add to your family tree and select new family members, including famous faces and legends, all of whom will already know about you.
Using emotion-sensitive human-computer interaction our artificially intelligent participants continue to acquire ongoing knowledge long after their death - they evolve digitally and do not die.
This life form will be up to date and informed of your daily activities through GPS, Wifi, health and fitness tracking, consumer records and much more. They will know if you have passed your exam, driving test, flown on holiday, bought new shoes, ditched your boyfriend. They will know what you tell it on social media and also by the constant tracking that occurs every day.' "

That's just dumb. If I had a digital copy of a loved one I wouldn't want them to know everything I do, just as I don't want those living to know everything. I share information on what I do by calling or meeting people and we exchange experiences.
Or will these ghosts communicate between each other and gossip allowing you to gain access to private information from others?
This sounds just like another way to gather more data or justify the data gathering. Thanks but no, I'll just download a chat bot, install on a terminal, name it after someone and hang their picture over the screen. Tada now that person is immortal...
Bleeh.

There is no shortage of ways to advance your career, or your earnings potential. Racking up a bunch of certifications is one of them. But be careful it doesn’t have the opposite effect. My cert in Windows 3.1 doesn't seem to be a problem

Would you believe I have that one as well? Dang, but I used to take a lot of those silly tests.
