I've been using Linux part-time for twenty years. I build my own desktops so its been easy to build systems that are compatible between windows and linux. However laptops have always been very troublesome. I have figured out a solution. Buy a chromebook and install Linux on it.
Lately, I have found that laptops are working very well under Linux, including reliable suspend/resume.
I will second that. I use both Windows and KDE desktops, and KDE is just a lot smoother and easier to forget about when you're working, which is really the main thing you want from a desktop. It also some very nice features that Windows lacks, such as providing fine grained persisent control over window geometry for given applications. And there are just an endless number of annoyances that Windows has that KDE does not. Reboot in the middle of your work, to name just one.
His ability to cause maximum damage and employee discomfort will be somewhat curtailed. Too bad about that. Hopefully Nadella can fill his clown shoes.
Maybe it's not part of C++ because this kind of initialization is trivial to do...
It is a safe bet that you have never ported a C99 program of any significance to C++.
Where are my designated initializers?

It's just pathetic that so many years down the road the committee can't get its act together to provide this much loved C99 feature at least for POD. This is a major issue, if not the major issue) with porting C code. The word wanking comes to mind. Here, GCC guys really need to take the lead but it's starting to feel like GCC guys are actually holding back on it. It's not like the coding is a challenge.

No, we're in deeper debt than any society in history.
As I understand it, every great empire that ever was, was deeply in debt. After you get past that hand to mouth thing, how deep your are able to go into debt becomes the measure of your wealth. Another way of putting it: what would you rather have, the money or the stuff? Can you eat money? Sail on it? Marry it?
Email is only losing the people we want to lose. You know, the ones who broadcast that joke of the day email every day CCed to everybody they know, or have ever heard of. Now, please just be good and take all that to facebook. Thxbai.
The NSA uses hardware bugs, so going fully open source on software and firmware won't help.
That's a rather black and white claim. Which hardware bugs did you have in mind exactly, and what makes you think an open software stack won't help flush them out?
I absolutely hate it when people at work have changed the default editor on a system to nano, always catches me off-guard and I can never remember the key bindings...
Wow, that was the weirdest mod ever. Modded down for liking stating a preference for modeless editor? Now I am convinced that vi causes changes to the brain.
Oops, sorry, I just got a dc-dc converter in the mail to run my AMD geode SBC off a marine battery.
You probably should be sorry. The fastest Geodes are antiques (I have two of them right here, whee.)
I'm thankful. Total system board power draw: ~2W. Plus 2 watts for the SSD. Total power draw: 4 watts, while my converter will deliver 15 watts. Sweet or what? And it runs Linux like a champ. Even runs KDE, though video can be a little slow. Doesn't bother me a bit. I compile remotely anyway. Basically, the perfect shipcom.

To keep those windfall profits rolling in, Microsoft only ever knew two tricks: 1) turn on your partners 2) do not respect the law.

There is a young chinese girl on the screen with her breasts showing. That is clearly not what Apple would do. Apple uses stoners.
Oh right, those sneaky socialist capitalists must stolen Apple's iOS linux source code, where else could they have gotten it?
Does he also park in the handicap space?

Quite frankly, I just finished a larger project for a customer and what I did strongly resembles what I would have done 30 years ago...
Only one difference: you get paid a lot more now.
I seem to remember those two existing prior to twenty years.
Indeed. 1972.
This article reviews techniques that became common ten years ago, at least for programmers worthy of the name. Misses a lot too but oh well.

So far we know of exactly one attempt to do that to the linux kernel.
...you can't honestly call it "free trade" if one country's products are banned.
Would that country be the Republic of Apple by any chance?
How can anyone trust hardware and software coming from the states?
How? If and only if that software is open source from bottom to top, including being able to build and install it with an open source toolchain.
...we don't know if this is something specific to Android or not. Not like anybody uses iPhones, huh?
I have heard that some people use iPhones but in truth they seem to be going the way of the necktie.

Try the arrow keys.

Thats fine. Knowing vi 'because its there' is why I know vi.
Using it by choice? Retarded.
+1. These days, Nano is pretty much always there. At least it is modeless, you pretty much already know how to use it.
Samsung's position is entirely rational, but less than ethical.
You don't know that, because you don't know the full story.
