Baseball ("no contact" sport) is included. Apparently millennials don't like to watch classic sports on TV in general. I wonder if this is because they don't like physical activity in general or unlike previous generations they don't consider professional athletes their heroes.

Also, is the trend same for new solo sports such as X-sports (mountain biking, snowtubing and similar)?

Most millennials I know are very active but generally prefer solo "non-mainstream" activities (parasailing, board-sailing, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking etc.). Even if you turn these into broadcasting events (streaming footage from camera attached to athlete's body) it still fits better less formal Internet streaming than TV format. I wonder if these would be as popular broadcasts as eSports.

Wow. It's like you tried to fit a curve between many points in your post but used too little features and ended up significantly underfitting it.

Sounds too complicated. How about we fluctuate the mass of earth instead?

The reason why programmer used strncmp() is probably because static analysis tool complained that strcmp() is insecure. This one and other string functions that do not take the size of the input/output buffer (strcpy(), strstr(), etc.) would trigger that warning because they are considered insecure by most standards. This is because lack of null termination in the strings could cause buffer overrun when these insecure functions are used, leading to arbitrary code execution or data corruption. Having an extra parameter for this doesn't inherently solve the problem but at least it makes programmer thing about security implications.

What the programmer had to do as one of the steps in writing secure server code was sanitizing the input. Any information coming from client that is used in the server's code must be checked for validity before use. Failing to do so is also something that can be caught by static code analysis. At very least I would expect code like this to had been reviewed by security experts at Intel before shipping.

They should have changed their business model while they had opportunity to do so at the time when browser proliferation started and Flash content was dominant on the web. They should have licensed the Flash standard to web browser developers so they could implement their own Flash engines, instead of sticking to "ActiveX" kind of in-house plug-in development.

That way they could have kept control over the technology while concentrating only on creative things (audio-visual presentation) they knew how to do best.

I'd say bringing this article to Slashdot is a bit like bringing a drag queen to a sports bar to talk about why new wig shop on the block is much better than the the old one.

Massive bitching in vain.

Yeah, it's like an episode of "Slashdotting With The Stars".

I find it offensive that the submitter and editors emphasized that the software is made in Serbia and highlighted it in the title. They could have said "outside USA" but I guess when you say "Serbia" it sounds a lot more serious. Looking at some of the posts here I see that for some of you it actually does.

Crooked software is made in many countries. Perhaps the choice of the company wasn't really based on where the company was based but the quality of service. There are many excellent software companies in Serbia. Just check this out. And this, and this...

I get the point that voting software is too sensitive to be outsourced but if you're going to outsource it then software company based in Serbia is probably one of the better choices.

That's like saying HDTV is not new technology because TV has been done for years.

Internet of things is a thing. I've been following the subject of IoT for some time. In the beginning It didn't really look like a thing to me either and that's perhaps because just few months ago it didn't have enough of a shape to call it a thing or I just didn't know enough about it.

In my books, I call something technology if it comprises of set of problems and solutions to those problems. Here's what IoT problems (and solutions) are:

1) Measuring values in physical world and sometimes changing physical world as response to commands (sensors and actuators)
2) Transporting measurements to computing centers where they can be analysed and acted upon (wired and wireless communication hardware and protocols)
3) Power independence for measuring devices (hardware that consumes low power where needed or harvests power from surrounding sources)
4) Information storage and processing (usually cloud storage and data pipelines like queues or streams followed by services that process information and/or store it)
5) All problems above involve additional dimension, everyone's favorite these days - scalability (massive number of devices collecting data frequently, sending it over through communication channels for processing in cloud)

Here's just one simple idea of how IoT can make city better. Imagine a smart waste disposal bin used for compostable waste. It collects information about how much waste is in it and sends the information over to Smart City's cloud "application". Every morning this application forms a map of places where garbage disposal truck needs to visit to collect garbage. It also allocates enough trucks for the work and optimizes their route for the day. This may reduce cost of fuel and reduce truck maintenance cost by optimizing number of trucks used daily. Citizens are happy because their compostable garbage isn't left to rotten (and stink) for long time.

Further more, data analytics team may use the information to extract patterns. For example, how much waste is generated in certain part of the city on a football game day or on bad weather day and use it for truck fleet management.

Of course, this example may be solved in some other way or may not reduce costs at all, but that may also be considered as problem in IoT - how much the solution costs and is it worth it and ultimately, how to reduce the cost and complexity of application so that IoT is more often worth it.

To summarize, IoT is a thing. It may not be necessary in many solutions but in some it probably is good option or will be. Still, for sure, it's a thing.

Having big inflation and wild currency value fluctuations is not normal and requires identifying the source of the problem and detailed plan of action. Without that I would say the situation is quite desperate. Going "cashless" sounds like plan and I would agree, not a good one.

Your post suggest the government has the plan and its execution is yielding positive results. Is that so or are people getting used to despair because they know how to navigate it?

It's a rainy night. Mulder is sitting in an empty low-lit bar. His head rests on his arms. There's few empty glasses on bar table in front of him. Broody country tones fill the space.

Scully walks in with intention. She spots Mulder and shakes the rain off her coat. He doesn't see her as she walks over. She stops right beside him.

Scully: "Your online dating profile says you're blond."
Mulder (chuckles): "It's funny, you sound just like someone I knew long time a..."

He lifts his head off of his arms and meets her eyes. His face expression changes into bewilderment.

Mulder (whispers): "Scully?!"
Scully: "Hello, cowboy. We're back!"
