If you're new to New York City, simply visiting for vacation, or, if you're a born-and-raised New Yorker that still can't point out any other states on a blank map besides Florida and Jersey, then you might also mistakenly believe what the MTA subway map tells you about the city—that it lacks any realistic level of fidelity and Manhattan is the blown-up silhouette of a Motorala RAZR:
if you actually try to use Mono for anything serious, you realize how quickly it starts to suck.
I know people who use Mono in commercial environments successfully.
As someone who uses Mono (in particular, Xamarin.Mac and Xamarin.iOS) successfully in a commercial environment, I know how much it sucks. Welcome to leaky abstraction, population: me.
It is usually stated incorrectly: the statement should be "value types can be stored on the stack", instead of the more common "value types are always stored on the stack".
I fucked up merging a branch in Subversion (I fucked it up, not Subversion) but the mistake I made isn't really possible in Git since it seems idiomatic (in Git) to merge whole branches, rather than ranges of commits.
I'll emphasise again that it was my fault but when I realised what I'd done I was wishing we'd migrated to Git already instead of putting it off.
Ok, that's just total nonsense. Microsoft operating system and applications are, simply put, not known for their stability. I can't even imagine you typing that with a straight face.
Microsoft (or at least Raymond Chen and his colleagues) seem to go to huge lengths to make the APIs in their operating systems extremely stable, from a compatibility point of view. Which I believe is what the grandparent was referring to when he said "write once, works 3 years from now."
On Saturday, Defense Distributed—America’s best-known group of 3D gunsmiths—announced on Facebook that its founder, Cody Wilson, is now a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer. The group published a picture of the Type 7 federal firearms license (FFL) to prove it.
“The big thing it allows me to do is that it makes me [a manufacturer] under the law—everything that manufacturers are allowed to do,” he told Ars. “I can sell some of the pieces that we've been making. I can do firearms transactions and transport.”
I wouldn't say I love Windows 8, but after running it at home and work I'd say overall it's not worse than Windows 7.
There's some nice performance improvements and generally the operating system works very well. Metro usually keeps out of my way. But that is to say Metro does get in my way every so often.
I only see Nvidia, by choice. If I were to buy an AMD card I'd have to install AMD Crapalyst Craptrol Manager or whatever unstable driver package they've come out this time in addition to suffering through frame latency spikes.
Many motherboards have onboard video by Intel
AC said "Intel video card". So while your statement is true, it's not relevant to what the AC was talking about.
I think the grandparent has confused retail copies of Office 2013 with an Office 365 subscription. The latter requires an account (and I'm not sure how you'd facilitate a subscription without one).
I'm trialling Office 365 and I've seen the option to de-activate licenses. That was my first thought when I saw this story. But the article seems to suggest it's a different problem:
Of course, Microsoft has a solution to this in the form of Office 365. Instead of buying a retail copy tied to a single machine, you could instead subscribe to Office 365, which is tied to the user not the hardware, and can be used across 5 PCs or 4 Macs at any one time. But subscriptions aren’t for everyone, and eventually you end up paying more for the software.
It sounds like you have more experience than myself, but after reading the below article I was of the opinion that C++ in a kernel is not a good idea right now.
My biggest usability gripe is the monochromatic icons. This does nothing to address that, there's an extension available that grafts in the icons on top of the VS2012 binaries but I can only imagine the fragility of that, across updates and hotfixes and the like.
Slashdot Mirror
However, C#, like Java, is wedded to a virtual machine with Just In Time compilation.
"Typically, apps that target the .NET Framework are compiled to intermediate language (IL). At run time, the just-in-time (JIT) compiler translates the IL to native code. In contrast, .NET Native compiles Windows apps directly to native code."
B-b-b-but reflection!

Eric Lippert would disagree with you:

"News for nerds, stuff that matters". Is this news ? Does this stuff matter ? Just askin'....
Where are these words from? Last time I checked, Slashdot described itself as Slashdot is a Dice Holdings, Inc. service.
One quick Google search later:
I take an extremely accepting view of what might qualify as "news for nerds," but this absolutely fails the "stuff that matters" test.
As some other commentator noted, those phrases appear to be being removed from the Slashdot site. Hit CTRL+F and try and find them.
Imagine a world where we rewrite all software from scratch every time somebody finds a bug...
Imagine the job security!

So +1 in general, -1 for when Metro intrudes.
This is where unit testing comes into its own.
I guess that makes my iPhone 5 7.6mm think different.

Wait, what?
EDIT: Never realised I could do this.
I agree. I've noticed that /. summaries are getting less and less self-contained.
I think that this was the worst one in recent memory, with "WAF" going unexplained.
This one was also particularly bad.
Is the DRM stuff still applicable to the LGPL?
Parts of VLC are under LGPL now.

The advice seems somewhat relevant for platforms other than Windows.
I think you've misread the comment, the GP isn't saying that the Raspberry Pi lacks HDMI.
