"all your codes are belong to us"--FTFY

I don't think that the CTO is referring to socializing. He is talking about communicating changes in work conditions such as that a rush is coming and one will need to work faster to keep up.

There's one big difference between the South and the North, and it is closely related to why it's Chattanooga that has muni fiber and not, say, Memphis. That difference is called "black people". Blacks cannot be allowed to control things, because they make an utter hash of it - if you don't think so, name one majority-black city you would want to live in and believe to be well-governed. He's heard of Detroit, Gary, Compton, Memphis...

The story while correct does not take in to account that there is another way to manage extensions. One could right click on an extension and select manage extensions from the drop down menu and the normal extension panel will display.

I believe this was a reference to the word terms. A jail is a place that one goes for a short period of time usually under a year. Jails have more relaxed rules. A prison is for longer term holding and the rules are much stricter.

Windows 8 Pro (which I have) has the ads. However, the ads are in a couple built-in apps, like Finance, not in the OS itself. The Finance app itself is actually pretty good, but it's really nothing more than a website with a Metro layout. The main problem I see with it, beyond ads, is that it's slow to load.
It's also in Windows 8 Enterprise.
