Is it correct that "gubbins" is just a generic word for "stuff" ?

When I travel by air, I take a carry-on bag with everything I need for a week, including the stuff for work. My wife uses her 2 suitcase allowance as well as my 2 suitcase allowance.
When we drive, I take the same bag with everything I need for a week. My wife loads up the trunk (boot), and the back seat.

News: OneCore[^]
I won't be learning OneCore as I hope to skate along in Silverlight just long enough to get out of the programming field altogether. After nearly 15 years in development I've had enough of the 'next big thing' - only to see wonderful environments such as Silverlight get replaced with trash like the HTML stack.
On the upside all of you will earn more for your time as other developers leave the field. Bravo to those of you willing to 'dig into the next framework' or spend hundreds of dollars on books/classes/time reading blogs to figure out the next big initiative that will be lauded as the great new thing only to be oddly and entirely abandoned about the time you begin to get a handle on it.
Nevermind me, I'll be at the beach.
I won't be thinking about OneCore.
Die in a fire.

I don't believe it. Nope, nope, nope and nope. It can be. The devices have different hardware so they are telling me I will be able to run win 7 on my Nokia 7800 ? Nope, nope and still nope.

Oh yeah WinForms is dead I guess and its WPF's life time. Maybe they are talking about the scaling powers of WPF as a "operating system for all devices" because the ui will look the same an all of them(if it runs). OR maybe because the BSOD will look the same on them.

the obligatory Dilbert's are always quite old, long time Dilbert fan with photographic memory or?

Good memory, but not that good! The Dilbert page as a "Keyword Search" text box to find the exact strip. Doesn't always work though...

I have tried the keyword search but didn't really get very far with it...

For that one, just search "Food stamps"
Try "Evil spring" and see what you get.

I have 9 obligatory Dilbert's bookmarked. Find once via Google (or someone else linking them) and have with me forever more. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This intern, as mentioned on his LinkedIn profile, is working on porting "trademark Windows Phone features" for use in any Windows operating environment through Windows OneCore.
They have an intern working on this? Not that that blog can be trusted of course, but I have often suspected that interns (aka highschool students) have worked on various aspects of all those "W" technologies. What else could explain the gaping holes of functionality that one hits within a day of trying to get something real working.

What about that quote of Bill Gates ? I think that explains perfectly why.

Technology will continue to evolve it's just a matter of the choice you make. There will never be one OS to rule them all the hardware is just to diverse, at present.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Because there's already an "engine_01.jpg" - it was the pic I got last week of the engine topless.
