This does not really make me want to have anything more to do with Mickeysoft. The OS is a component of the computer and has to do its job without getting into my way too much. What if the companies that made the other components started with that kind of harassment as well? You would be jumping through burning hoops every day and they would just get even crazier when they get away with it. Sorry, Mickeysoft, but I will not waste any time on this little sh*t test.

Off topic, but look what Yoda's dad has to say about heartless scandinavian marauders: YouTube[^]

I was searching for another sort of marauder and that's what Google returned as a result-

It's probably copyright, and I'm not licensed to reverse engineer it into something a little less ... basic.

No, mine is a bit more complex, including specific bits for Win8 as well as rather different code.

I have a copy of that (or similar) script, but cannot recall where I got it from.

I rebuilt mine last weekend (grading up from Core2 quad and Win7) and Win 10 couldn't connect to the Internet without a new driver for the Ethernet port (as it turned out).
Until then, the troubleshooter kept saying something was wrong with the Ethernet settings and couldn't fix it -- would I like to provide feedback on the troubleshooter?

Yeah, I went from an dual core E6700 on an ECS MB to an i5 on a Gigabit MB, and ... Win 10 worked perfectly. No bus master problems, no USB controller hiccups, I replaced the MB and powered up on the original SSD and it booted straight in. All required drivers detected and loaded for me.
That's a real improvement on the old days!

Hmm ... would that count as plagiarism, given I can't quote an exact source?

I bet CP Servers would be happy if you get nuked... the counters for reputation are doing extra hours with your account.

Well that was the idea - see if they used a 16 bit counter. I've a ways to go before I hit the 32 bit limit though...

Microsoft is making a mashup so we could make compilations of things they are doing wrong.

Sounds like teacher should look to come up (7)
Sounds like teacher = Sur
look to = face
come up = Surface

We have a small development team with 8 developers working in C#, we are using GIT and have TeamCity running on the builder.
The system we use at the moment is known as Trunk Based Development[^]
Some of my colleagues think that the "GitFlow" system would be better: A successful Git branching model » nvie.com[^]
Personally I have my doubts about GitFlow, despite the hoorah stories that can be found on the web.
I think it will cause a lot of merge conflicts, and it will make life harder especially for developers that are not very adept at using GIT.
Besides when even Google successfully uses "Trunk based development" with thousands of developers, why couldn't we ?
Anyone tried GitFlow, and what is your opinion about this ?
[Edit] found this interesting article Git: How I use it and Why I don’t use GitFlow – Matthew DeKrey – Medium[^]
