I want to avoid affecting the other users profiles
By definition different profiles exist to not affect each other.
I wouldn't be able to use my desktop for my other purposes like the music editing
Why? I'll assume you're talking about hardware limits.
Would it help to set up all these tools under a different account on the same Win 8.1 install? Or should I virtualize my development environment (and how?)
Here it seems like you think that adding another user or a VM would magically double your hardware resources.
I hope you poorly wrote your post, or you'd better figure out those basic things before you want to be a programmer!
I guess an ATM machine has not a browser, or a WWW connection, or useless services listening on some ports, neither a real keyboard to inteact with it, so a designer should be a super-moron to be able to catch a malware on such a machine.
Yes it comes with you, but also keyborad, mouse and HDMI cable must come with you, and you should carry the external display, too, to complete the comparison with a laptop.
Exactly what I think when I read this kind of comparisons. Can we stop making ridicolous comparisons, such as "Linux has already defeated Windows, see how many Android phones are sold versus Windows PCs" or "see how many servers run linux"... When they'll prove that such objects are interchangeable, I'll give them credit.
Note: I use linux on my PCs, but I try to be fair.
I may agree on your point, apart from the usual american trend of calling "communist" everything diverging from their opinion. The treaty was welcome by all the countries, and conversely the soviets were willing to "own" the world as much as the americans.
Well, i don't see it as negative as you, i think there is so much space out there for everyone to expand with or without treatys, and the supposed economic benefits would require such a technological leap that (hopefully) human race will have evolved, too.
I think this is what happens when you put enough money in any project, like going to the moon and back with '60s technology. I'm 100% sure today we could have cures for cancer, clean energy and food for everyone, if someone had put enough money on them.
Hell, a mission on the moon does not happen every year, and I cannot find absolutely *anything* on the web apart from a couple of meaningless photos. Where is the landing, or photos taken around the rover, or anything? Unlike Mars, that thing is controllable in almost real-time, what are they doing? Maybe China is like the former USSR in keeping information secret, or the world is really apathetic.
The problem is, almost every "western" country is kind of subjugated to USA, for their military and economic influence on the world, and tolerates their injustices.
Slashdot Mirror
I've done a lot of googling the last week and haven't turned up anything
Seriously???
This, and: why the hell should you do all this work in your spare time?

Common sense, first of all? A law cannot force me to do something I did not ask. Maybe they should be charged for the waste of my time.
They cant legally bill you for something you did not order.
Just wait for the next patent!
And by "catch" I mean "be caught by" (sorry for my english)

My iPhone can do everything I can do on my workstation
Really? Everything? And how much as good? Things like, don't know, programming, editing photos and videos, writing long texts ... ?
Have you been smoking hard recently?

Yes, CPUs are a little better today than the Apollo ones. Drones can land on an aircraft carrier even with the worst sea conditions.

We are managing the Antarctica quite well without fighting each other, and that's much easier to colonize than the moon.
They also found scientific evidence that the Great Wall can be seen from Moon.
Currently China is only sending us computer animations, so they want to ease life of conspiracy people.

I understood that they donated Windows 8.1 (ownership) to a nonprofit organization...
It would be nice, but maybe a leader wanting to start a war has already won the internal war over his citizens.
That said I'm not a big fan of patriotism. Seems to cause more harm than good.
Neither am I, because bad country rulers causing wars are never the ones risking their asses when wars start.
Die for your country, while fighting against your country???
Dual post because my browser crashed.
Don't worry, your browser is fine, it was NSA.
