I switched to Qt in 2008 (mainly because of cross platform development). Although I do wish some of the stuff I had in MFC was available in Qt. At this point I probably have written an equal amount of code in both.

Hmm. At work I remember that we used eye tracking under windows 2000. Although the hardware to make it happen was thousands of dollars..

In the medical industry we have medical workstations that run XP and are not permitted to be upgraded at all (not even service packs).

I was just going to post similar..

I wonder how many TBs they will allow for free. Although Comcast has a monthly transfer limit.

John

Hmm, I loose 2 vacation days a month if I don't take them since I am at the limit I can hold. Also 1 sick day per month for the same reason.

I have used clonezilla with good success at work.

For me it opened chrome.

I have a higher slope than that. And frequently when I need to shovel there is ice to deal with.

John

I have a steep sloped driveway. I can see it getting me down but not sure about back up. Maybe a Segway with some large tires.

John

I expect I will have no chance to win on that level then..

On Black Friday of 2015 I finally broke down and purchased my own laptop (instead of hoping I could get my paying job to purchase me a new laptop for home use) GE72 6QD Apache Pro | MSI Global | Laptops - The best gaming laptop provider[^] The 4 core / 8 threaded 45W Skylake i7 CPU is as powerful as my 95W i7 960 at work. However the 17.3 inch screen I find is about as small as I can use as a c++ developer and still function. It has a boot 128GB M2 SSD however I can not use that for coding at all. Its nearly full an my build tree would run at least 1/2 of that. I am currently using the 1 TB hard drive for that and plan to replace possibly both drives with 512GB or 1TB SSDs. When I am not browsing the internet I use this laptop for some minor c++ (work related) development while watching TV or the mornings in the sun room with the wife.

I feel your pain. It's supposed to go down to around 1C tonight here in Pittsburgh PA.

John

Thanks. That would still be fine for most of my cygwin usage.

John

I am very interested in this since I use linux and windows about 50% each. I'd like to see if performance is improved over the cygwin implementation as far as processing bash scripts.

Being the son of a carpenter I have done this a few times. The most recent time (without the help of dad) I built the walls and knew where the cabinets would go so I installed 2x4 blocking on near the tops and bottoms of the upper cabinets along with blocking near the tops of the bottom cabinets. We used a laser level to draw a level line on the bottom of the top cabinets same goes for the top of the bottom cabinets. In the past I had also used water levels to do this. The screws we used came with the cabinets however Lowes and Home Depot have similar cabinet screws in stock or you can order them online.

John

Not for me in the USA.

It's -3F here in Pittsburgh PA although 30 miles north the temp is -12F. I have to go out in this soon which would not be a big deal but I have to walk a 1/2 mile from where I park to my office.
