Finding out when (ie soon) and where an earthquake will occur is still almost pure luck. Of course, when the frequency of EQ is high, the probability that a bigger one happens is higher. But that almost the best we can predict. After the Tohoku EQ in Japan in 2011, amazing predictions were made by "specialists": a "big one" to occur in Tokyo within a couple of days, the Fuji mt to erupt soon, etc... nothing happened. (the cumulative probabilities of a big one in Tokyo was more than 90% at the time!).

So the guy hires Microsoft compliant engineers and surprisingly they're most efficient on MS products. What isn't said is that probably that guy himself has always been a Windows user, and thus he prefers to hire windowsians. And there... I am not surprised. How would you feel hiring Linux people when yourself you don't have a clue about what it does and how it works. The thing is, Linux engineers would have no problem learning Windows stuff, while the opposite is more seldom. Hiring engineers interested in open source, Linux, openness in general would be more profitable for the company in the longer term, though.

Indeed. 12.04 is a bit old...

It'll be more interesting when they catch someone who did use the heartbleed bug before it was revealed publicly.

At least there shouldn't be any stray wolf wandering within the Moon base..

Sorry but the Suspend feature of Windows - called BSOD - is almost instantaneous.

Are you sure about that? What about all those big organizations CIOs who always chose the easiest/laziest strategy and blindly renew their pricey Microsoft yearly contract, neglecting any of the newest possible alternatives, cheaper and sometimes more adapted to the company needs?

Indeed it works. Give someone a 1X dilution of Arsenic, and you sure kill him..

Too bad no government has enough courage to officially release a 300 pages document that informs people there is no proof of the existence of [a] god.

Two years is a long time. It seems it is the time it takes to a non-professional to tamper with a video, after the guy got the idea that the video would be more fun having a meteorite falling along with him. Seriously, a falling meteorite? Even if the camera would have caught a real meteorite, we'd have seen a blurry line, at best. The images breakdown clearly shows a number of photographs that have been added to the video.

TFS:

that's stuff that matters, no?
