Like Joey I hate fans in my machines. I am a long term ThinkPad user. My main machine is still a T420s (the s model is a bit lighter than the regular T420) however I would love something like the Yoga 3 Pro but with a ThinkPad design. The C

I checked a few months ago but there was nothing specifically for desktop apps only universal ones and even then they were mostly voice-oriented things so you can "plug in to Bing". Ugh. As far as I can tell it is not [yet?] possi

When I first used Cortana as part of Windows 10 I was quite disappointed when I found out it lacked quick commands like this. Sure it has some understanding of what is written such as "remind me to call Jim at 2pm" but it is ver

I came here to say just this. Considering he had no prior experience and by his own accounts he is quite the geek I thought he spoke very well. He was articulate, kept his answers on point and not too long, perhaps a little wordy but people

I am really loving this new Microsoft. What I would love would be for Microsoft to offer resources to get Clang/LLVM working on Windows as well as MSVC so it can be a first class compiler in VS.

I am surprised things such as Cinavia[1] isn't more widely used for tracking. It is designed to cut off the audio after 20 minutes which you see on a PS3 with many Bluray Disc rips released on torrents. For that to work obviously you n

My point was that it doesn't seem to offer anything more yet costs more. Yes $100 is a little under 3 hours work so justifying the cost isn't a problem but considering I already paid for VAX I am not one to just throw money away :

Looks good but I will stick to VisualAssistX as it is cheaper, at least in the UK.

Yeah 21CC and U&UCP are for once you are comfortable with the language not for beginners. U&UCP will be a book to keep by for many years as well as it is pretty much the gospel for pointers IMHO.

K&R is a great book however I feel there are better books these days. My two personal recommendations are C Programming A Modern Approach by K N King (2nd edition) and Programming in C by Kochan. However the exercises in K&R are ex

This is actually the only thing holding me back from getting a new machine. I need one, badly. But I also need at least 16GB RAM. I have 8 in my current (very old) machine and it is by far the biggest restriction I have. Getting a new mac

I find it strange they still use this as a selling point. My only computer is a Dell laptop from 2008 (Studio 1737) and it wakes from sleep (Windows 8.1) in ~1 second. Sure I don't have connected standby but to be honest I don't r

So far it looks like the whole site is down. Not a single project I have tried to access works. No word on their Twitter as of 16:58 GMT https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops

Indeed. While this is a nice hack, GIF really needs to just die now.

I would love a bigger battery for a slightly bigger device but this isn't what Apple is aiming for. Apple design the hardware to work with what they want it to look like not design a device around the hardware. I used to think that was

In my opinion salary information should not be kept a secret except on personal request. Openness in pay, responsibilities and performance[0] leads to a far healthier company in my opinion and experience. That is not to say you stick the sa

If you live in a "no knock" state you are not nuts at all. I am from the UK and think the whole no knock thing is insane when everyone has easy access to guns (both legally and illegally). It is just asking for people to die.

Clang currently supports my freedoms more than GCC with its political limitations holding it back.

Especially with the Community Edition of VS making it really easy for pretty much anyone to get access to VS. I like GCC and everything but I will be happy to leave it behind if I am honest. The politics are just too damn much for me these

I am looking forward to the day when I can have a full Clang/LLVM environment on my Windows machines without relying on MinGW. Hopefully this year!

Maybe I am just getting old but in 2015 it shouldn't be this much work to get an OS installed on a computer. Getting pretty much any Linux or Windows installed on my ThinkPad is a piece of cake. As pretty as a Bacbook Pro is I just don

Windows 9x just stored your password in a pwl file. All you had to do to "hack" into an account was rename this file and it would accept any new password. Of course Windows 9x had no file system security and this hack didn't

This is a beautifully done hack. Using a legitimate USB charger. The GSM radio for 2G internet broadcast. The built in battery for short term unplugged continued sniffing. Trigger word SMS messages. Live streaming web portal. That is ve

For anyone who has picked up a copy of K&R wanting to learn C and hit a wall I highly recommend C Programming: A Modern Approach, 2nd Edition by K N King. Having read many books on C over the years I think King's book is without do

Wow. That is a pretty crazy setup. I would worry about neck problems with the position of the top row. How long have you worked with this setup? Also what make/model/spec is the laptop you run it all from?
