Inherently nothing. The dictionary definition only describes it as some manner of plan. However the adjective form (which to note, I wasn't using the adjective form...) is more commonly used in a derogatory manner. 'He is such a scheming b!@#ard.' Etc. So she had it in her head that the noun form of the word had a negative connotation as well... Fantastic for an English professor; doesn't even understand the language she's supposed to be teaching!

I've tried EverNote, then OneNote, and I'm not particularly happy with either. Most importantly, I've failed to spot any reasonable means to flag (add a status) and sort stuff. The only organizational order I can see is the order you create when you enter the bits, and where. There's also Trello - it does look like it may be stronger on the organizational aspect, but it's hard to tell without trying it out first. But it's free, so it won't hurt to give it a try. The reason I haven't yet is that some of the stuff I want to keep track of is confidential and I shouldn't put them on a foreign server :( GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them.

I think it tried turning itself off then on again...

"User friendly" means "not commercial strength".

Nothing personal. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I'm afraid she said nothing of the kind. She merely said that her "study" (watching a paltry 1,000 people cross the road at rush hour, on the way to work, when people are most distracted, anyway) concluded that only one in four people "followed the green cross code" to the letter. There are lots of "might"s and "may"s in her report, but no evidence that accidents have been caused by people texting whilst crossing at a legal time. The whole thing is utter bollocks. Who's making money from it? That's the question to ask. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

The garbage collector is going to have its hands full if you have to instantiate a new time object every time it changes... Let's hope the clock isn't terribly precise!

Rubbish.

...well, it's actually two: Don't forget about the improved editor for environment variables (System properties > Advanced > Environment Variables) for things like PATH: It's no longer just an endless string and "oh, I forgot a semicolon there..." :) PS: I'm not sure if this was in the initial release (10240), but it sure is in 10586.

I remain curious about the viability of using a functional language base for asynchronous event-driven user-interfaces where there can be many complex interactions between what the user(s) does and underlying objects and data. Does the necessity to "maintain state," provide undo/redo, manage changing collections of objects, shift from mode to mode where the entire UI changes, etc. ... go "against the grain" of "stateless" functional language ? Like to read something about that. thanks, Bill «In art as in science there is no delight without the detail ...

My gf would have liked one. :) BTW, we had a cat sighting today. Turns out he seems to be living in a crawlspace (for him, not for me) under the house. So we set up a couple animal traps (not the killing kind!) -- should have done that sooner! -- and hopefully, after the snow and the rain tomorrow, he'll get hungry. Though I couldn't just let him starve tonight -- it's snowing, tomorrow is going to be raining, so I figure he should at least get a meal tonight.

Okay, exit lounge, asked again: HERE[^] I will read answers there, carefully.

Fascinating talk, but I don't think I would want to do FP in C++! Then again, I'm so removed from C++, the questions people were asking sounded like greek to me. Funny how things changed, I used to do all my programming in C++, until Microsoft came out with C#.
