Oh, I've got to rummage in the file cabinet this weekend for my old MCSE stuff. Mid/late 1990ies, around NT 4.0... IIRC, I aced the bit about Minesweeper.

So you think he should operate the van from the passenger seat?
But seriously, Neanderthals weren't primitive or stupid. Or even that ugly. No idea how their driving skills would have been, though.
Brain plague or estate agents? I know which I'd prefer in Virtual Reality
Another one for the movie list:
World on a Wire (Welt am Draht, 1973) by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Based on the novel 'Simulacron-3' by Daniel F. Galouye. It has VR inside VR. Has aged remarkable well and still is worth watching.
As to the VR-and-porn debate: anyone who lived through the 'cyber sex' hype two decades ago will be very sceptical.
As to VR in general: those who can actually profit from using VR in their work already use it. The gear gets better all the time, but that's about it.

Suspected Russian DNC hackers brew Mac trojan
"... a trojan targeting Mac OS X machines in the aerospace sector ...
On average, Macs in the aerospace sector should be somewhat harder targets than others. Different wetware.
I've given up on telling friends and acquaintances of mine that classify themselves as "creatives" and/or work "something in media" about security awareness and malware on Macs. Utterly, totally useless because "there is only malware on Windows computers".

Re: IT angle?
The Pythons thought about AI in the late 1960ies with their New Brain From Curry's sketch. That's IT-angle enough for me. The pint is for Terry J.; he always liked real ale.

SpaceX: Breach in liquid oxygen tank caused Falcon 9 fireball ... probably
Re: too technical for me
I'd say the explosion released pretty much the same amount of 'heat and carbon' as a launch would have done. Only in seconds, not in minutes, and while staying put. Possibly less, depending on how much of the fuel was burnt in the explosion. Some of it (from the other tanks) may have been sprayed about before it could ignite.

Re: coalition government?
Mix to Pither's sleeping face, waking up, shaking himself in disbelief at finding himself in a beautiful garden, with the sun shining, the birds singing. He is in a deckchair, and his mother, having poured him a jug of iced fruit juice, is gently nudging Pither to wake him.
Mother Come on, dear. Wake up dear.
Pither Mother!
Mother Come on dear.
Pither So, it was all a dream.
Mother No dear, this is the dream, you're still in the cell.
Mix to Pither waking up in the cell. The officer enters carrying a rifle.
Come to think of it, the whole Bexit thing is a bit like having your bicycle pump get caught in your trousers, isn't it?

Cosmology is safe and the Universe is one giant version of the Barbican
Re: barbican?
Totally off topic... I dimly recall visiting London in the early 1980ies. We went to the Barbican Centre (can't remember why) early on a saturday or sunday morning (can't remember why either) and for some reason we walked through a couple of blocks of 'The City' which were totally deserted. I was like in one of those desaster movies where the hero wakes up one day and finds that he is the last man o earth or something.
