@freespirit - You, Rod and my two year old son would have a blast together! lol. I'd ask Rod to sing Maggie May while the train goes round the track or maybe Hot Legs? :) One of the senior partners in the firm I work...

Phythondj, I think the pick up of OpenShift has been swifter than I realized. I heard multiple good references to OpenShift at the Linux Collaboration Summit. Jim Whitehurst on Dec. 18 in the third quarter earnings call...

@vnewman2- Glad you survived. :)Seriously though, you have to drink a lot of caffeine to be lethal. We don't have a clearcut number because of body weight and metabolism. But the estimate is something arounf 6 grams per...

Great article David. Mr. Spock has been a favorite of mine since I was very young. So glad he "lived long, and prospered"!

@David - there is nothing better - especially as an IT worker - than getting that jolt of morning java to get you going in order to deal with the daily drama that is IT. Sadly I had to swap my cup of coffee with milk for...

@David: The fact that a celebrity who's already so famous did that speaks volumes about his humility and love for the fans. I wasn't aware of his off-air life but after knowing incidents like these he's won a lot of resp...

@David: I think the best part about Star Trek and Spock was how they will continue to inspire people for years despite it being a science fiction of the past. I can imagine my kids to sit and enjoy the series as much as...

@tzubair- I like the idea of a cookie cup. What grosses me out is "heat-resistant" chocilate and "smells like sunscreen." A bread bowl is just normal bread. You don't have to do anything to bread but cut a whole in it to...

@gary_el- The lack of waste is a real plus. The added calories, not so much. I think I'd rather have a biodegradeable receyclable cup.

@kelly22- I think the problem with a donut cup is that you're supposed to put the donut in the cup not the other way around. :) But you got me thinking about other things we do with this. How about ketchup packets made of...

I'm always happy to see a Linux software company promoting other Open Source projects and software. The better to rid the world of Microsoft and its inherently insecure crapware.

@whoopty- I too quit caffeine. It was really hard. Took months of weening myself off. Now, i can have the occasional caffeine without needed to have it all day. Funny enough, I'm reconsidering my relaitonship with caffeine....

Mobile data is very easy to exploit since security is negligible, at best. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, or, for that matter, hacking Anthem and/or Home Depot and/or Target.

@kstaron- Love the goat comparison. I am a fan of the waffle cone so maybe if they made the waffle coffee cup?

I'm not a programmer but this is a really nice run down of Docker and how it works. Kudos to the writer.

Hmmm, Verizon and AT&T. I don't know why but this sounds an awful lot like the voice of Ma Bell. It sounds like she's all broken up and trying to pull it together. And this ruling just hurts. The sense of entitlement, to...

Big Data isn't catching on because no one really knows what it actually means. Sure, there is a lot of hype and buzzswording going on, but realistically speaking, Big Data and what it means to industry seems...
In reply to: Big Data, who?
Open Source seems to have become the trendy buzzwords of 2015 along with Hadoop, IoT and any product with the word "smart" in front of it.
In reply to: You've come a long way, Open Source
I'm not convinced IoT is anything but a blown *way* out of proportion to reality version of the Y2k bug. But at least it's keeping software coding jobs in demand.

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
