you can install Filezilla from Ninite. https://ninite.com/ Well - you are trusting that Ninite doesn't include any crapware / malware, but until now I didn't had any problems with it. Makes updating Java Runt

I did the same with the C64. Another big advantage was: if it didn't work you just had to reset it and everything was fine (OS in ROM). My brother let me tinker with his C64 (when I was about 10 years old) and that started my career in

Wow Joseph Zbukvic is impressive. Brings back my horror art lessons in school. We had a watercolour artist as an art teacher and we had to use those big hair brushes too. Too bad I sucked completely with this brush and hated going to art cl

I think git is pretty easy for easy workflows (add, commit, push). I just use subversion for old projects, where porting them to git would not make any sense.

I've heard the same thing about the Afx macros and the plan for another more ambitious framework. In my opinion the biggest obstacles for MFC were: * a pretty bad C++ compiler (the first good MS C++ compiler was the one with Visual Stu

Regarding the "Windows culture": WinProc programming was indeed pretty horrible. Didn't really program a lot in WinProc - but I've cut my teeth with MFC which was supposed to make it better. They broke down the big switc

But isn't this an "App" which shouldn't have been an App in the first place (I think they write something like this in the article). That's really one of my pet peeves. I don't like installing apps just to read

Well - that depends on the model. The cayenne is no sports car - thats for sure. But in Germany / Europe Porsches are used for racing. Here is an overview of the "official possibilities" http://www.porsche.com/

@Silverlight: are you much better off if you've wrote a Java Applet at the same time ? (I think this was the right thing to do in Java back then) We were trying to use Java Webstart, but we gave up, because of the fact that some modern

I still think that he assessed this point favorably for himself. If you read the whole point he made he may be right. But for me all these asynchronous methods are used more and more, so I'd say multi-threaded programming is much bigge

All that happened a long time ago, but in 2001 I went to a event in the next bigger town. There were lots of people strolling around, suddenly a girl greeted me a little bit too enthusiastic. I didn't know her at all, but greeted her

had a good guidebook with me when I was in Rome. It said that the water is excellent and showed the trick with the hole - so I knew it and used it. Mostly I filled a pretty small bottle with water and carried that around. Didn't had to

And (last time I've been) it was excellent water. Strange seeing other tourists paying for the expensive mineral water next to a running tap. (they probably didn't know that the water is fine or didn't care).

I think one of the guys in the article says that the sound was not too good. I think I've read the term "comically". Another problem was that it didn't work well if the singer was not singing close to the mic, so the amb

Sure. But sometimes the equipment just sucks. Was at a outdoor festival last weekend. One of the bands had a sound guy and I wondered that the sound was so shitty. Couldn't hear anything of the bass player. Normally the sound should be

You could say the same thing with Gillette blades. Sure, one blade is a fraction of the cost of getting your beard shaved at a barber's shop. But it is still much more expensive than the alternatives. If you compare Nespresso pods to r

For me the biggest reason not to change to PostgreSQL was the sad state of pgAdmin. In my opinion it doesn't hold a candle against the MySQL Workbench or the old MySQL tools. Sure there are commercial options available, but it is real
