I prefer TDD. And programming languages that offer the right mix of all of these.

Get certified.
>> my boss approached me about offering security evaluation and penetration testing to customers in our area
Because it might at least mitigate the damage after your company get sued by customers who get hacked after you tried to learn on their dime. (Google "Target Trustwave"...)
Seriously, if there's a real business opportunity in your market, your management should either hire an experienced guy/gal and/or partner with an existing firm. Then, you'd have the opportunity to learn along them...while picking up the certs you'll need to be credible when talking to other companies. (And if your management is too cheap to buy your security certs, that's a BIG red flag!)
>> So what do you do about your smartphone then?
It lasts longer than 18 hours.
>> 18 hour battery life in a typical day
Anyone else think this makes the watch useless for its target audience? I've had a lot of days that started by leaving the house at 4:30, flying to another city, working and meeting all day, going to dinner, and going out for drinks and ending up back at a hotel at 1-2am...in another time zone. With only 18 hours of time, my freshly-charged watch could be dead at 8-9pm (before we hit the bar).
CES was months ago now. Please quit the string of crappy "hey, this one time at CES" articles.
>> where 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and sun

If "yes," then it's not self-driving.
>> want to recruit Linux professionals...likely to hire a candidate with Linux certification
Wait...which one do you want? Professionals or certified neophytes?
Google "Word macro virus"...
>> patch of woodland just north of Livingston, Louisiana
The most annoying part of the introduction was the fact that it made it sound like this was going on in somebody's still, rather than a highly funded research project run through nearby LSU. Also it's partial due to work in California:
>> Key design elements of LIGO came from Ronald Drever, project director at Caltech from 1979 to 1987, who, Thorne says, “has to be recognized as one of the fathers of the LIGO idea."
>> pushed into building artificial worlds because making in the real one is hampered by (indecipherable sniveling)
Take a minute to Google "Dungeons and Dragons" and you'll see how my generation did reality-avoidance.
I'd expect lots of cross-over branding crap. Look what happened to Legos: you can barely avoid the Star Wars, LOTH, Disney Princess and Marvel (and yes, even Minecraft) branded tie-ins over there.

Kind of weak list, IMHO. For example, where is "overpopulation?"
...cause that technology is about as magical as this silly notion:
>> Could we all one day soon have virtual backups of ourselves that we can access and have new body parts 3D printed on demand?
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
