It sounds like 13 TeV isn’t hoped to be hot enough to do anything "new"; they're just assuring their aim is good. What's next; how hot are they aiming?

Arstechnica reports that most cell phone makers pay Microsoft royalties on each phone but Kyocera and Motorola are not paying.

Being a computing professional for nigh on 30 years, I cringe when "computing" and "computer" are used interchangeably.

Most OS's and programming languages will let you map your memory data structure to a contiguous disk file so your disk IO is performed at paging speeds. The file system is only touched when the file is mapped (opened). Your system can then be configured to chose to what degree your data is in memory vs. disk.
Instead of sorting datasets, use a testlist database (flat files). The test contains/links/points to its dataset. The test lists are selected at test run time. Each entry in a test list tells how to generate the specific test environment for the test. A test list entry contains the test, the RCS tag/version of the test to be "gotten", the test seed, and array of exit codes that should be retired, how many retries, whether the test is gating, and an array of tests dependencies. A test run can be considered to pass even though an individual, non-gating test fails. One test entry may extract and prepare the test data and other dependent entries can then run against that test dataset.
Running multiple services on one OS requires that when you must reboot a server because of an OS bug or mis-configuration all of the services are brought down... Same if it crashes or hangs. As compelling as that is I've never used a hypervisor in 30 years on 10's of thousands of servers.
I do routinely use chroot jails on thousands of servers to isolate the application from the host OS. This way I do not need to re-qualify any tools when we implement an OS patch.
In 1998 my friend Bernie and I took a cruise on Holland America's MS Statendam to view the solar eclipse off the coast of Curacao. We planned to broadcast a live webcam over the internet. The ship radio charges would have been charged by the time that we kept the radio busy, not bandwidth or "connect" time. The Statendam radio man agreed to let us use the radio for free because it would have been very expensive. Twice we spent hours rehearsing, trying to call my dialup Netcom account, but I failed. We had radio problems, modem problems and ISP problems.
I understand that ham radio operators can probably lend you a lot of help. I guess you should get a license and get up to speed.
Be wary of your location when making a ship-to-shore internet connection. Some countries consider it a serious crime.
I agree with the point on touching up portraits, but I think whether or not the first, female 5 star general wears makeup is news. If I saw a photo of an office wall where her portrait was hung, I'd expect retouching *and* makeup.
CM - revision control, continuous integration, CVS is fine, SVN is popular, CC is expensive
Use good naming conventions for symbols & files.
Make consistent use of whitespace/indenting.
Put a comment header at the top of each file (author,date,source repos,exec path,prerequisites,revision history).
Take your time designing/documenting/writing test plan, and less time coding/testing. Use good design over voluminous comments.
Don't make waves. Use the programming language you're supposed to. Write in the style (OO, procedural, structured, RPN) the successful members of the team do.
Learn from your mistakes. Be honest with yourself about your performance. Get good at estimating and delivering on time.
IANAL, but reading the law, I see that it is directed at Computer Security and Computer Forensics professionals, not the type of stuff the Geek Squad does. From the law: "review and analysis of, and the investigation into the content of, computer-based data" and "including forensic analysis, burglar alarm system engineering, and necessary data collection." It is about gathering evidence for criminal prosecution.
The certification of computing professionals is not a new idea. There is already an organization that does it. The Institute for the Certification of Computer Professionals http://www.iccp.org/ has been doing it for decades. This certification was recomended by the DPMA (Data Processors Management Association) back in the 70's. The DPMA is now known as the Association of Information Technology Professionals http://www.aitp.org/.
Wouldn't a torture device, quickly 100% effective, causing no damage, be the least inhumane torture device possible?
I think the world would regard that "torture" much differently than slow, damaging, life-threatening torture.
Of course nobody said this torture was any more effective, or quick. If the pain of torture is great enough will it be more effective? They say you cannot rely on information gained by torture.
In 1966 Luna 10 launched from an earth orbital platform and was the first spacecraft to orbit the moon. So it orbited the earth and moon after it was first lauched from the earth.
The end of the story arc is in the can and they've already started airing it.
The most recent episode made clear how Archer was integral to the creation of the Federation.
Soon I'll bet we get an episode about the Suliban and the cold war. I expect they'll let us know who that holographic time lord was and re-kindle that sub-plot that'll lead to the next series/spin-off.
They've still got to explain the glaring differences between the Enterprise and Start Trek TOS universes. i.e. Why Archer and this Enterprise history isn't known by the Kirk and Spock gang.
They're preparing the setting and cast for the next show. I figure that's why Trip's going to the Columbia, why Flox get's kidnapped.
I dig the show and I look forward to the next series. Wow, T'Pol, what a babe, my favorite character.
I forward my long standing email address to my gmail and it gets lots of spam; 900 in last 20 days. That address seems to be on all teh spammers' lists.
If I read my gmail early in the morning I see plenty of spam. If I don't check until later in the day I see dramatically less. Here's how it seems to work.
If I wait and let others mark their morning batch of spam it helps gmail recognize and folder most if not all of my spam. If I log in earlier I mark my spam so gmail can folder them away for everyone else.
It seems that once I see the spam in my index, it does not get foldered. But if I don't check my gmail until later, usually *all* spam has been moved to the spam folder.

It's not the CI tool that assures that mainline is stable; it's the quality of the regressions.
Shouldn't your continuous integration's regression suite assure that mainline is virtually stable? Why isn't the call for better regression tests?
