    It modifies system files like the Kernel and other stuff. Files that cannot be updated after the beta expires. http://www.virtualbox.com/ That's what I use, you can find the Window…

    I think so because Windows XP POS has support until 2019 and businesses still need to develop POS apps for their embedded POS systems. Even if the consumer XP has dropped support t…

    Ask HN: Why does Apple make hard to learn languages instead of easy ones?

    Objective-C and Swift seem like really hard to learn. Why does Apple make it so hard to learn how to program their devices instead of making it easier to learn? Why don't they just…

    My friend's sister debugged a Twitter bot for Python. https://gist.github.com/ErisBlastar/6144424 The original was very buggy and did not even support Unicode and error-ed out and …

    Let me say some truth here. Thompson Coburn, LLP is behind a lot of this. It is liberal tyranny, not distributed fascism. It is Liberal Democrats who have been indoctrinated into a…

    I forgive you. Apologies from me for my misunderstanding of the article and subject. I took a big karma hit from it, but I'm a big boy. One of Odin's chosen warriors to fight Frost…

    My problem is that I don't understand the article. It violates everything I learned at the university I attended. Apparently it uses a form of socialism that really isn't socialism…

    Plenty of workers, plenty of work to do. Greedy corporations don't want to hire as many workers, and overwork the workers they do have to save money. Plus anyone with 15+ years of …

    Well it is nice that C# 6 becomes cross platform, can someone please explain to me the license behind it? Microsoft usually does the license thing that takes away some of your righ…

    Sorry I did not want to hurt anyone's cause. I just didn't understand how you can have socialism without taxes. Eliminating private property is basically communism as far as I know…

    I studied economics. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You cannot make something out of nothing, that money has to come from somewhere. Just like in physics, the laws of ther…
