Depends what you mean by upgradability, my main dev and gaming rig is watercooled. It is so silent the only noise detectable is the spindle HDDs. I can slam in another PCIe SSD RAID next year and hopefully get rid of those too. The Mac Pro

To be honest it's not a problem I have, I like to keep my comments short and punchy. If I'm writing war and peace, it will only ever be for the class comment at the top, for some reason I manually do my own line breaks then as I

Indeed, this is a bit of a non-story. Lower volume customers have lower fixed costs, they generally get much worse quotes (higher spreads) too. The fact is whilst $56k might sound like a lot to some person day trader, it is nothing compare

Which actually (and thankfully!) I think is the problem with DropBox's business model. Most apps I use, will happily use SkyDrive, DropBox or Google Drive. As a business, why would you ever tie yourself to the fait of one. The '

I like knockout, I'm using it on a big project at the moment. Compared to say Angular it is definitely much easier to learn. My complaint (probably more relevant to hardwaresofton) is that I like my MVVM to have a type resolution syst

All of which can be done on SkyDrive. Not sure why the downvote for this. The only one lacking a first party client is Linux. There are 3rd party ones serving it. For simple sharing, it can be done entirely in a web browser. In fact for

As a developer (just jumping in) I'd hazard a guess the same way I deal with the horrific lack on consistency with a command line interface on any posix platform I use. There is a bit of a shift I find, if I'm doing something all

The problem that I keep seeing is people think that TPL or Async/Await heck, even Rx is a Threading library.... As a result people still use monitors or any kind of blocking wait event. Including the TaskCompletetionSource in the fram

No, it's more about the fact we've had some interesting ideas in history before. Some were even built in small scale, my personal favourite is one of Brunel's: http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/em/_events&
