I find the info quite aggressive agains WP, the plugin indeed has been banned, and before this second post...
So; wordpress reacts to bad publicity not to threats to their users. That's actually worse than if they did nothing because if they did nothing we'd hear about it all the time whereas now the questions are, "What else did Wordpress manage to close down just before it got written about on Slashdot? What else is Wordpress hiding?"
Somewhere there are wordpress users who have installed this and either have not yet had their credentials stolen or have not yet had them used against them. Notifying their users should be the top priority. This should be front page on their site. This should be the top news on their blog. There is nothing there. Wordpress is still hiding things and letting down their users. This posting is not nearly aggressive enough.
Wordpress.com is very different than the community wordpress.org, one is a commercial entity that offers free and paid hosted wordpress services and the latter is the upstream/open source wordpress community that offers wordpress for self-hosting.
Neither of these entities are responsible for or have any control over 3rd party plugins like the one mentioned in the article. This would be like blaming Microsoft for someone releasing Win32 shareware that hijacked credentials.
I've switched back and forth to just about every *NIX Desktop Environment since I started using Linux in 1999, loved KDE 3.x, loathed KDE 4.x until it became stable and used KDE 5.x on and off. The good thing about KDE is that the windowing and 3D effects subsystem is modular.
I'm pretty much settled on using XFCE but I'm using KWIN KDE compositing/3D effects with XFCE for a nice compromise between a 'classic' desktop that's rock solid but with the nice themes, windowing effects and features that KWIN (KDE's compositor) brings to the table.
Have a look at mutt with offlineimap and notmuch.
You can use lynx to dump HTML into text for reading message from the miserable people that use HTML email as a built-in.
I use a combination of mutt + offlineimap + notmuch for mail, local archiving and a very powerful search.
I've been on this setup the past 6years or so. If mutt isn't your thing this approach is modular so you could simply sync with offlineimap and index/search with notmuch.
I don't see many large, high profile sites running an entire Microsoft Windows stack nowadays (IIS/SQL Server, etc) but Stack Exchange is one of them.
What were the reasons behind choosing a full Microsoft stack versus any of the Open Source alternatives which seem much more prevalent, especially in start-ups and smaller businesses for web presence?
I've always liked Thinkpad (Lenovo) laptops, they generally ship Linux-friendly hardware and are tough and durable, it's the company default where I work. If you were unfortunate enough to procure the second to last model the touchpad needs some work
Regardless of the make/model you use, be sure to implement hybrid suspend so you'll never lose your work should you run out of battery while suspended. I'm currently using a Lenovo x240 on Fedora 22 with great results, regardless of the spyware shipped on the lower-end models I'll still stick with them for the excellent durability and hardware support until something better comes along.
Smooth talking sales people and golf course nudges always override common sense and the squelched cries of underlings who have to support bad decisions made around vendor software, news at 11.
KDE5/Plasma5 has been very solid for me, but I use KWIN with XFCE only as the compositor/window manager.
A lot of the instability people discuss around KDE5 is actually an Intel bug which features in Plasma 5 seem to trigger on Intel chipsets.
If you're using an Intel chipset and have weird issues, artifacts or instability you might want to try switching to the older UXA driver instead of SNA that's shipped with more recent distributions.

... the PM translates the coders and works between them and the business.
So basically the PM is the new "take the specifications from the customers and bring them down to the software engineers."
There's still probably some substantial revenue coming in from forgotten AOL subscriptions from elderly folks who thought they needed it to access the internet, but probably not 4.4B worth.
Lots of conclusions drawn from a very small sampling size, there may be some truth to these generalizations but I'd prefer to see more data.
Internal IRC, external/Freenode for upstream work.
I don't have so many desktop applications that anyhting is more than a few clicks away in my organized XFCE doc though on Linux or the old start menu wasn't pretty efficient with the mouse.
Thing is keyboard shortcuts really are probably better and the search function saves the steps of actually defining all those shortcuts.
You can use the "type to run" dialog in XFCE to via Whiskermenu Plugin
You can also easily hotkey it to whatever you like

Post Office Zone Alarm alerts for Windows 98SE sitting on public IP address space shouldn't be counted in my opinion.
