If his first star wars movie (or his second star trek one) is any indication of Jar Jar Abraham's ingenuity, I guess that Star Wars Ep. IX will go something like this:
In Ep VIII, Flinn was captured by some evildoer, so Rey goes to the bad guy's lair and pretends to be taken prisoner in order to free him with her Jedi Might, Cleansing the lair in the process by killing most of the evildoers and even making some of them be eaten by mighty giant lifeform.
Then we move to a new threat from the new order, a new spherical object of doom orbiting a sacred-forest-planet where a station is beaming a shield to protect it. A party composed of Flynn and pilot guy go there to deactivate the shield, and fins some utterly cute merchandiseable lifeform opressed by the new order, which help them deactivate said shield (and blow the unfinished evil spherical object of doom to smithereens), while Kylo Ren takes Rey to Face Snooke, resulting in redemption for Kylo and death for snooke...
If we are goin to recycle: Can I propose a better recycled idea for Ep IX? Here it is:
While traveling throught the galaxy, the rebels encounter a planet, were they are attacked by a hermaphrodite local, are forced to kill this local using the force, orphaning his/her child named Fallom. They take Fallom with them.
After traveling some more, and arriving to a small planet with a single moon, RtwoDtwO speaks, not with beeps, but with a voice, reveals that his initials are RDO, that he is a telepathic robot created eons ago by Roj Nemennuh Sarton and Han Fastolfe, that he has been guiding the Galaxy behind the scenes, and that, since his positronic brain is failing, he needs to merge his consciousness with Fallom in order to continue guiding the Galaxy like a father figure, as he always has.
I mean, is at the same level of imagination as what Jar Jar Abrahams did in Episode 7!
1.) If the windows phone in question can be "upgraded" to windows phone 10, then upgrade the phone and all the apps, and keep using it as a smartphone, with limited apps. Is not diferent than using Sailfish phones, or bada phones, or BB10 10.3 phones (my case)... Also, remember that microsoft baked a lot of the "enterpisey" functions, like VPN connections right into the OS, no extra apps needed, so, while supported with security patches, they make decent enterprisey phones.
2.) If the windows phone in question is stuck in windows phone 7.5 or 8.x:
a.) Get it to the latest firmware supported. Do so before microsoft and/or the hardware maker elimitates the server infrastructure with said firmware...
d.) You can use it as a cheapo minitablet. For kids, for example.
e.) As Freizchutz said, you can use it as a cheapo LoJack.
f.) Put it in a drawer, and use only when your normal smartphone is damaged or out of commision (exploding batteries, water damage, cracked screen, botched OTA update...).
g.) Use it as the smartphone you use to go to places were you can lose your smartphone (clubbing, disco, festival/rave, dangerous parts of town)...
h.) Put it in the glove compartment of your car and use it as an emergency phone.
i.) Use it as a "better than a dumbphone worse than a smartphone" phone. Basicaly, as the phone you give to a person who needs certain smartphone apps (say, facebook, uber, and the like), but who will never ever use or install any other app. You customize it to their liking (using either apps, or pinned mobile websites [uber is a prime example]), and then tell them to not move anything.
j.) In the olden Nokia times, there was a hack were you coul make the phone take a call automaticaly without ringing, vibrating, turning on the screen, or turning on the speaker, just pick up the call and turn on the microphone in the highest sensitivity. It was called the "James Bond Mode". I am certain that an app can be had (or made) to do that.
k.) An app to use the phone to measure cell network parameters.
The SSN, passport number, or, for all practical intents and purposes any government issued number is NOT a secret. There are ways to get those numbers, be it through breaches like this one, or other means.
The SSN is not a Secret. Is just a number issued by the government to identify you more easily to the Social Security.
Again, the SSN is not a secret. Nurses, Doctors, Clerks see the number as a matter of routine... Your passport number is not a secret. Clerks, security guards and border patrol agents, both in your country and abroad see it on a regular basis. Driver license numbers are not a secret..... ID Numbers (for countries which issue ID Cards) are not a secret.... You get the drift....
Maybe, just maybe, the Goverments and companies will stop treating these numbers (be it the SSN in the USoA, the Cedula or DNI, or what have you ) as a "Secret", and recognize that these are just ID numbers, not secrets, and we move towards a real secret when needed, in the form of, perhaps PIN+SmartCard, or some other mechanism.
I know, is a loooooong shot, but dreaming is free....
That is NOT a long term solution (of course), but at least gives the NYPD time to better weight their options...
If the "Custom Egineered APPs" stop working if you go from 8.1 to 10, you have to hang not only the rich hag, but also the programers/coders who "Engineered" these APPs.
My guess is that the phones will be upgraded to WinPho10, and the Rollout of new iPhones (or whatevur) will be gradual, just as the rollout of the original WinPho ones took two years.

For the very young. Start with LOGO as some other posters said. This will teach them to think programaticaly structuraly, and some constructs like loops.
Then move them to Swift PLAYGROUND as soon as they reach a propper age to understand it. not Swift propper, but swift playground.
After swift playground is mastered, things become murkier. Move them to an interpreted language, that has as little scaffolding as possible. Perhaps something vissual where they can plug modules graphicaly in a GUI/IDE and then program the behaviour of the modules as needed be.
Then, finaly, in the latter years of high-school, move them to some real programming language with real IDE. Preferably something usseful for the future. Perhaps Ansi-C or Java, or Python....
Niños por favor, vayan a jugar a otro lado, los adultos queremos hablar. Children please, go play somewhere else. The adults want to talk.
It seems you guys have a "Cable pela'o" of some sort, that somehow ended up as a reply to my post. And with no context to boot. If I had context, I might try to mediate, but, being things as they are, I guess you guys should exchange contact info, do a skype/webex/webRTC/whatever conference call, and sort it out...
And also, the sorry state of science missmanagement (please understand that is a management problem, the scientists are fine) will impede any directed long time efforts into this. I could tell you stories abut the Nanotechnology lab in my alma mater (hint - Non Existent). The guy behind the effort worked for me at one time (before we went to his masters degree) and is now working in Fishkill in GloFo, on the push to develop 7nm litho.
So no, do not pin your hopes on Cuba-Venezuela. Or Iran. Something like that could come from a place like singapore/indonesia, or a place like India/southAfrica/Brazil (if you notice, three of the brics).
And meanwhile, someone weaponized a couple exploits developed by the NSA, and, lo and behold, Wannacry is born...
Coño, no te jode?!
I live in Venezuela. If I have to get spied, I will better be spied by the most efficent and cost effective solution. If Kaspersky's products cathes the most Virii (NSA developed ones included), then that's the solution I'll use...
And, as an aside (or full disclosure, as you preffer), I worked for Huawei a long time ago, and I do freelance technical training for them from time to time, and yes, a long while ago (late 2000's) there was a case of some big honking telco routers phoning home to china. That was quickly rectified. From then on, no more (that I know off).
But guess what? So it happens with other provider's gear...
Again. If is not the Chinese, is the FSB (russia), or the NSA (USoA), or the MI6 (England), or the five eyes (USoA, England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada), or apple, or AWS, or Microsoft, or Google, or Opera [remember, Opera mini is a MITM browser, developed by sweedes, owned nowadays by the chinese], but someone is always able to spy on you. So, do not be moronic about it, and get the gear which is most efficient (and cost/effcient) for the task at hand.
The FBI and NSA are just pissed that is not THEIR backdors in the SW, but the FSB backdoors instead...
"I had just downloaded VScode as an alternative and I was just ***playing*** with the source control option"[emphasis mine]

In a Joint Statement today, the Ric Romero Institute and Capitain Obvious indicated that they agree wholeheartedly with the results from UC Berkley about feeling bad about feeling bad makes you feeling worse.
The institute will dedicate more funds to research the subject, searching for a Joint study with Berkley, while Capitain Obvious will use his public opinion powers to raise awarenes about the subject, specialy amongst people who suffer from depression (yours truly included), who know nothing abut this strange effect.

Well, welcome to the wonderfull world of FireFox ESR.
Firefox ESR 52 will allow you to keep your old time extensions until Aprox April next year.
Also, your NPAPI plug-ins (Like the ones you have to use for SabaMeeting, Cisco WebEx, and al sorts of ILO plugins for server and network gear).
Just install (or downgrade to) Firefox ESR52.
While this is not optimal, It will bid you time so that your Plug-ins and AdOns are ported to the new FireFox framework (which is SIMILAR BUT NOT EQUAL to that of chrome). Or ported to chrome, or whatever other solution your provider of said Plug-ins or AdOns considers...
I've been on the ESR channel since its inception (I can not have my workflow disrupted every three months or so, when the firefox devs decide to change another thing).
While is not a bed of roses (specially at the end of the life of the ESR, when pretty much all sites believe your browser is "out of date and insecure" [which it is NOT]), is better than the alternative for people like us who use the browser as a WORK tool first and foremost, with recreational uses in the backseat...
Having said that, I believe that the Direction Firefox is taking under the hood (I will NOT enter a UI/UX holly war) in order to increase performance and security is the right one, and a little pain in the short term is whorthwile for the performance and security rewards that will be collcted later on....
Doesn't Boeing, a Major US Aerospace contractor has a Big Factory and other research facilities in Seattle?
Perhaps this training excersice over this particular city has something to do with something the guys in the Lab what to measure first hand? As in Reverse-Engineer-hand?
Because the CASA CN-235-300 is a joint development of Spain (CASA) and Indonesia (IPTN)
For apple, this may be the first step towards a world where, if you so desire, the iWatch IS the phone, and the iPad (with an LTE modem and adequate SW, of course) is the screen for said phone.
So, when you are on the go with the iWatch only (say, excercising, trecki9ng, or, for the ladies, dancing with an ultra small dress and an ultrasmall purse), you get basic phone functionality from the watch (voice Calls, SMS receive, push notifications, alerts, preset answers) over a narrowband low power 4G connection, and when the iWatch is close to the iPad, the iPad becomes the full fat phone (including a wideband LTE Channel) and uses the SIM from the watch...
Of course, I am not saying apple will do this this autum*. Only apple know IF they will do it, and WHEN they will do it. But that, IMHO, will be an unbeatable combo, and will be the day when these SmartWatches come on their own...
Took a long while, I was asking for this in 2015....
If only you did not wrote as Anonymous Coward, Your comment would have been even funnier.
Having said that, with plenty of MILF (and Non-MILF in my younger years) action, 7 major surgeries, 2 dental pieces extracted, 1 blood donation, and 2 sperm analysis during my life, IF there is no match in the Global DNA Database, is because of the authorities negligence to collect the samples.
1.) Opensourcing Flash would probably open Adobe to a lot of possible legal liabilities. It may incorporate technology licensed from 3rd parties, and expurging those from the source takes resources (engineers and lawyers). And even if they did a 100% perfect job removing every single thing non adobe controlled, that does not mean that anyone would disagree with them and take tham to court. That could be a honest disagreement, or some patent troll of sorts seeing what can be extorted...
2.) Adobe already makes programming tools which allows you to take a FLA or SFW file and convert it to todays HTML5/CCS3/ECMAScript standards. And as time passes, those will get better, and rake adobe lots of £€¥$ .
The best bet to preserve the parts of the web heavy on flash, is to develop a prupose built minimal browser, only for those sites, where the 2020 version of the plugin resides "as is" with no other plugins or ad-ons, and which can ONLY browse Whitelisted sites... Even better if you develop an addon for 2020 browsers that says "Open in flash" (analogous to the current "Open in IE"Plugins nowadays) and invoke that minimal browser for that site and that alone...
