Well the lisp that doesn't make you want to gouge your eyes out (yes CL I'm looking at you).

I'm inclined to agree. Getting support issues nailed with the .Net framework has started to become a PITA in the last year or so. It does feel like they are winding it all down.

Agreed. From experience (broken leg), any compression on your body including limbs leads to a shitty night's sleep so I don't think I'd want to wedge bits of my body in gaps then lie on them. My other half would also hate this. The best nig

If bacteria can modify the host's behaviour (this is proven), perhaps your hypothesis is a certain type of bacteria's survival vector?

+1 for this. I tend to leave everything as vanilla as possible. My .vimrc has 3 lines, .profile pulls in a local JDK and that is about it.

Overpriced and can't get in the UK by the looks. I think I'd just go Lenovo.

Urging - regularly. I use a hotmail account for trash signups and they are pushing constantly.

I'd use the term "bullying" in this respect.

I work near one of these and a couple of us decided to investigate purely out of curiosity one lunch time earlier this year. We used a netbook with a fresh Windows XP on it and nothing of value and destroyed the disk afterwards. It had on i

We have an entire 2 million GBP VMware estate which I inherited I agree entirely with this comment. Between lun size limits, license management (which is hell), the general additional work and the fact that the benefits are suspect, I agree

Enterprise here who integrates with other enterprises. We have one windows 8 seat across 15350 unique endpoints and that was our test surface machine.

Not really. We get all the same sorts of errors in our very high level C#/Asp.Net/VMware deployments and it's a shit load harder to debug with all the extra baggage that a VM and hypervisor throw on top as well... A better solution to all t

Windows 7 Pro OEM = 82 GBP ex VAT Windows 7 Home Premium OEM = 55 GBP ex VAT Large difference! There are a number of Win8 upgrade restrictions in the UK AFAIK including you can only upgrade retail PKUs (not previously purchased OEM ones). T

Successive abstractions. What he/she proposed was an end game, not the first steps.

Bullshit. A simple operating system is not much work with respect to getting a kernel off the ground. Back in the old days before the pc took off and people started expecting abstractions for everything conceivable, this was a normal part o

Agree with this completely.

Compile time is usually fine if you build your code so that dependencies are simple as intermediate .o files are only built in dependency chains. Link time is much higher on larger projects, which this still fails to solve. Knowing your shi

Well Objective C was a preprocessor extension as this proposal is so it's one and the same. Both are extensions. Yes we all know where vendors that do that got us: -moz-gradient: -ms-gradient: gradient: -webkit-gradient: Oh

It the risk of starting a fight, I really don't want this. I'm quite happy with headers and know how to effectively manage them without shooting myself. Granted there is some compiler overhead for importing large header files but I don't re

That's US pricing. It's different over here in Europe.

Yes 100% I would be happy if they then took a couple of dollars off the price of Windows to compensate. My issue is that this is a built in feature/program which has been around for at least 20 years which now has advertising with no opt ou

Hell yes you do if it doesn't comply with the audit, security and distribution requirements of the organisation. Outlook effectively shoots all of the above without massive customisation which is expensive, ineffective and has so many edge

Ex outlook power user here. Sorry but outlook is almost certainly used wrongly by most people. Its used as a filing system rather than a communication tool. Mutt is just as useful if you don't mind not getting cat pictures. We have a public

Yes for data. Data is easily recovered, but under the circumstances that your cloud apps suddenly become instantly unavailable, how do you recover your applications? You don't - you have to migrate and retrain everyone, which if you've used

Yes we lost a couple of servers and associated data in a fire thanks to no DR policy and it caused the loss of a major contract worth 1.4m GBP a year. That's when they employed me to fix it all and make sure that it was engineered properly
