Windows XP activation algorithm cracked, keygen now works on Linux
AI menaces superbug by identifying potent antibiotic
Friday 26th May 2023 16:40 GMT 
And the IT angle is that VMWare now occupy the site where this molecule was originally synthesised.

The problem is, against any antibiotic we come up with, nature can develop a countermeasure. Such is the capability of limitless structural diversity of proteins.
In the paper they managed to promote and then characterise some strains with resistance to Abaucin, so they know exactly what to look for if this enters the clinic.

"If this manager gets all excited about a Soundblaster and CDROM then he has (had) much more clue than the typical manager."Why? What does this prove other than that the manager knows what good 1990s computer parts entail? It doesn't necessarily indicate that the manager is good at using them, even if we assume that the manager has an intended use for them because they're not so unique nowadays.
When I made the comment I was thinking back to the days of mscdex.exe, autoexec.bat etc. In order to use a computer in those days for gaming you had to be more tech-savvy than just clicking buttons in Steam like you do today.
