Yep that's horrible whatever the basis for it is.

Oh wow that's just horrible. I wish I hadn't looked now!

It does but as you say due to the emperor's new clothes every few years, the loyalty isn't there now. I know of no companies doing greenfield desktop dev that are using any of thei…

Yep definitely the worst thing ever. Not just that though; everything. I've lost so much hair in the last few months over trying to get a CD environment up on windows.

Shareholders.

Because people would build for that instead of Win32.

Hell yes. Watching packer shit a brick 5 times a day trying to upload virtualbox guest additions via WinRM makes me want this yesterday. Also I had to up the memory ceiling on WinR…

Yep. Java looks good on paper, is mature, has good libraries, good IDEs and good support but boy is it painful to write it in any large quantity.

They place restrictive rights on the usage of the software and retain the ability to revoke your license. BSD does not, ergo it is different.

Makes sense. Bet it's a Broadcom NIC if it is. Those things are nothing but trouble. I have no idea why HP ship them in their mid-high end kit.

Why use sqlite when you can invent something new which has no concurrency semantics and eats up inodes?

No it says nothing of the sort.

Versus BSD: Whatever, just remember we wrote it and if it fucks up, don't blame us.

Don't worry there's still plenty of wrong out there to be ( www.abovetopsecret.com )

Definitely. My mother has a 3gb cap on her broadband every month and this is going to basically break it. Fuck them for even daring to do this. It's authoritarian arrogance, nothin…

It's even worse for some enterprise with VL agreements like us. We have a 1 year window to get everyone on windows 10 from the release date. Needless to say a few macs and centos b…

I do a lot of voluntary support on reddit. There are literally 10 people a day who this breaks for just on there.

If only they did this in the UK. Although when I went through school, A level mathematics didn't even touch anything past polynomials and physics didn't go much past classical mech…

They also had full VAX 11/780 clones! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotron_K_1840 Oh and wonderful art ( http://imgur.com/GPPI56E ) but that's another topic.

I've used 7, 8 and 10 extensively. Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell's start menu is the sweet spot at the moment if you ask me. It has the explorer and task manager additions that wi…

> Yes. You can downgrade Windows 10 to whatever you installed it on top of. This doesn't work in a huge number of situations. It just reports failure.

I agree. This is the fourth major issue. Firstly they told everyone that they're not going to fully describe updates any more. Then there was the whole telemetry thing. This was cl…

My EE professor said to me once: "Quantum electrodynamics and shit. I'm not a physicist." I wasn't all that impressed with that answer until many years later after reading Feynman …

Bollocks.

For reference, Gamma Group are a well known bunch of evil bastards in the UK. Nothing they do is considered honorable. Literally nothing. They also pretty much have a license to do…
