I think software development should eventually follow the model of academic research. There is scientific research done by the universities that have no immediate application or exploitation potentials. The tenured academic professors teach courses and do research on such topics. Then as the commercialization potential gets understood, it starts going towards sponsored projects and eventually it goes into commercial R&D and product development.
It sounds like you have a very 1980's appreciation of university research.
Traditionally, an April Fool's joke played after 12noon turns the 'fool' back on the originator.
Perhaps we just have to wait 30 more minutes for Hawaii?
Are you sure you aren't just regurgitating groupthink that you got of some website? Why don't you try thinking for yourself for a change?
No need for the ad-hominem attack - I am thinking for myself, on this day, the 10th anniversary of that fully justified invasion of Iraq, also under your precious 'quite strict ROE (rules of engagement)', by the Coalition of the Killing.
So, The Security Ledger (is that Sledger, for short?) wants to tar the whole Computer Science education fraternity (no pun intended) because of this single incident - all CS departments and teaching are considered outdated, because of this?
Great to see the Sledger applying the best scientific methods to its analysis!
"A convict escaped 96 minutes ago from an overturned van. Uninjured, what is the maximum distance he could have travelled? "
A convict? Don't you mean "A convict stole a loaf of bread and was caught. Uninjured, what is the maximum distance he could be transported, by ship, in 3 months?"
Moving voting online provides no guarantee that citizens will seriously consider the choices. It'll just become another button, another "survey", on Facebook that keeps flashing until you respond.
In contrast, forcing citizens to vote and requiring them to physically move to a voting location, appears to have far greater success in getting people to think about, and discuss, their actions.
It's not about the cost, nor even about the content - it's about the acceptance of the received qualification.
This pathway will have little value until prospective employers recognise its value as being equivalent to bricks-and-mortar qualifications.
No, sharp braking is what happens when you are yacking on your cellphone or reading a newspaper, and glance up to see that you are about to rear end the car in front of you.
OR, it's because the jerk in front of you just glances up.

Just ask WikiLeaks for the backup.
May seem funny, but quite irrelevant. Programs don't need to run quickly for novice programmers.
Or do they just want to exclude access by anybody without the latest gizmos?
Modern browsers, all free to download on a wide variety of platforms, are hardly "the latest gizmos".

Surely it doesn't require a degree to become a drone pilot - just an enthusiasm for video games and a morality bypass?
Let's hope that such detection techniques can soon be applied to Patent Office applications too :-)
... and I hope the spectators end up being okay and are justly compensated.
Justly compensated for what? The spectator (yes, we all hope that they have a speedy recovery) came to a see cars racing, and took on the risk.
"...and it's still going to cost you $60k a year in pay and bennifits to retain them."
Sure, but this incident, alone, has probably generated more than $60K of negative publicity for Azure. Gotta get the basics right first.

Perhaps a merger is on the cards?
Of course there's ONE politician; in fact many. But it takes at least 50.1% of them to stop it.

What? You mean the dividing cell doesn't just call fork() ?

It's "Reds under the beds" all over gain.
Thank you gcc - you've served so many of us, so very well. But now it's time to bow out gracefully, as we turn towards Clang and LLVM.
I'm confused - isn't this speech-to-speech translation, without any text involved?

50 billion here, 100 billion there. Pretty soon you're talking big numbers.
Your story is so good you had to tell us twice?
Do you mean the data size, or the information size?
Agreed, or change the headline to "China to Terminate Bureaucrats Who Fail Basic Statistics".
