While the game as existed on Windows for more than 25 years, the modern Solitaire Collection will now be available outside of Windows for the first time. "All by myself in the morning, all by myself in the night"
It was either that, or the Hallelujah chorus.

Didn't they just remove that from Windows?
Before we know it Windows will work anywhere except on a Windows PC (well, that last part is true already)!

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, etc. all have R&D centers in Israel. Much of the technology in Intel's processors, Qualcomm's smartphone platforms, etc. is developed here. Is this tiny sample of Israeli developments enough for you?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'd rather ask why it took them so many years to arrive at this concept. When using automated translation, I usually preferred the translation into English, since the translation into German combined the errors of two translations (from whatever language to English, then from English to German).

The mode is available now as an opt-in via the /permissive- switch but will one day become the default mode for the Visual C++ compiler. Visual C++ and standard conformance: no longer an oxymoron?
Or am I just a moron (as well?)

What oxymoron decided that "/permissive" was in some way a good description of "standard conforming"?

the switch is "/permissive- " or "not permissive". At some point in the future when standard compliant becomes the default, I assume the switch to keep legacy behavior will be "/permissive+ "
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?

Microsoft has actually been doing pretty good there. GCC is still ahead. Both are ahead of Clang, which is floundering around.
(Speaking of GCC, it would be nice to have a truly native Windows version instead of that MinGW crap.)

Agile is Dead, Long Live Agility. 15 years after the birth of the Manifesto, many of us still don’t get what Dave Thomas meant, and why the heck this meaningful adjective started to work as a noun. Ask 10 developers what's agile, get 12 answers

I installed it last night. I've been using CentOS 6 at work and figured I try the Gnome 3 version of Fedora (versus the LXDE version I normally use at home [in a virtual box].)
All I can ask is; are linux users mental?
Seriously, what a hideous UI. Beyond the horrible design, the number of blatant bugs was astonishing. (When I click, "Remove" after ALL of the LibreOffice components, a) don't keep "Installed" on their logo and b) Uninstall of the other crap of LibreOffice.
Then there's the weird stuff that's missing. Like where is the user manager/user groups utility. Granted, it may be there, but I couldn't find it.
Oh, and when installing it asked if I wanted Google integration. I clicked OK and it came up with a list longer than the screen (remember, virtual box without additions) of things that it would "take over." The list would have made Microsoft blush. I clicked cancel. Still found areas where "I'm going to phone home" was still on. (Even after canceling the Google thing, I ran across a dialog box which stated that Google integration was on. Was it? Don't care. I'm deleting that install.)
BTW, for all those who complain about the Windows 10 start menu--it's still way better than whatever Gnome 3 and Unity call their horror show.
Back to LXDE.
