But I can't help but thing... What kind of operating system is FORTY ONE GIGABYTES?! My C:\Windows is 20GB, that seems excessive already, and I know for a fact it was originally much smaller. What the hell are Microsoft putting on these thi

Huh? That's besides the point. My point is that just because it's commercial software doesn't mean it should be closed source. If it was open source it could be 'easier to steal', but I bet most people seriously using it would still buy it.

Very cool. I like this guys implementation too. https://gist.github.com/4666256 Perhaps an implementation with vim bindings support? :D

If people want it without paying they will get it without paying anyway. I say open source it, but continue to sell licenses for it.

Hi there, thanks! :) My opinion is based on my own experiences developing DirectX and OpenGL applications, as well as advice from my brother who is a games developer.

Because OpenGL is ugly as hell. DirectX is rewritten often (with new versions) to accommodate new ideas, whereas OpenGL new features/ideas are just "tacked" onto the existing code base. OpenGL also has a huge barrier to entry compared to Di

This. How anyone can 'analyse' PIN numbers with unrelated data is beyond me.

I'm from England. Do not make assumptions about me. I never said I was pro-US-locking-people-up, did I?

Why only where US developers live? What happened to the rest of the world?

Huh? You can't blame how fucked up NK is on the US or the EU. Not at all. >> By the way there are thousands of kids like that in Chicago and Bronx. Yeah, same in Africa and other places too. The difference is that each countries res

Very interesting. An example site would be excellent.

Linus didn't say "This is shitty code, no.". Linus said "I don't accept GitHub pull requests for these (logical) reasons. Please use the official route to send me a pull request." This is a completely different thing to what happened here.

Yes. The 'ch' in Bach is difficult to pronounce. There is no English word that even contains this sound. My suggestion is to look for a YouTube/similar video of someone saying the word! :) Maybe this could help. https://stanzebla.wordpress

Well, LaTeX is a child of TeX. Knuth himself says TeX is pronounced tech, where the "ch" sounds the same as from the the word "Bach" (the composer). He also says "tech" (as in technology) is fine, but "tecks" is utterly wrong. So, LaTeX is

VT-x is for hardware virtualisation. VT-d is allows direct pass through of device (PCI, etc). VT-x is essential, VT-d is 'nice' because it lets you hook PCI devices directly into the VM (good for some servers) but in general you don't need

Same. My Dad gave me a lock and a copy of this he printed at work one evening. I was pretty young (I think 11?) but I learnt a lot. Dads are awesome!

Old but still relevant. I learnt about locks here. http://www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/MITLockGuide.pdf

Completely agreed. Amongst my non-computer literate friends, many of them adopt the "click next quickly until the install starts or it stops working" tactic.

>> "Does 1 cake really matter"? All of these "100 richest people" probably give away more than 100x what you earn in a year already. Are you honestly going to call them selfish? If you are, then you are saying everyone should give a

Yeah, and most of these rich people are also huge philanthropists that donate massive sums to charity.

Aha okay. You might want to clean that up anyway. :)
