The irony is that my Macbook has been my best Windows machine ever.
I know - somewhere a kitten dies each time I boot it up.

I have 3 24" and one TV connected
I never use the TV (4th screen) when working only for watching series or movies.
If it's for working purposes it's just to much.

I had 4 for a few weeks at work after discovering that my laptop would let me use 3 external monitors (1x 19" 1280x1024, 2x 22" 1680x1050) and the build in screen at the same time. When I realized that I only used the 4th screen once the second week and not at all the 3rd and 1st half of 4th weeks; I closed the lid and rearranged my desk to put the dock under a monitor stand again to reclaim the space I'd previously had a tissue box located in. This setup proved to be much more productive.
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?

AFAIK, he is the only person to be banned from the site four times in the same weekend...

I've been here from the beginning, just found that I registered as martm prior to the database crash and the forced reregistrations.
Also ran into Maunder back at CodeGuru which was before CodeProject existed.
I created the use of Elephant here on the site and from there popularised the use of Sunshine.

Great achievements of 14 years
(By the way - my question was about how you can be banned four times in a day. I found hamsters a bit lazy for that )

Enough votes saying the post was offencive and your account is locked out. Someone with the right powers comes along and unlocks it. Then more whiners vote it offensive and around in circles we go.
I mean, all I was doing was describe the love between a consenting Elephant and Maria Sharapova and everyone gets all girly.

You did go into graphic detail on the grunting. That's bound to affect sensitive souls...

Well if the daft twat could keep her mouth shut while hitting a tennis ball I wouldn't have anything to describe.

Most people say that you can't get down off an elephant, that you get down off a duck; but Michael Martin darn well can get down off an elephant.
In the beginning all was dark, then Michael Martin said "sunshine", and there was light.
Michael Martin is why the Ms on keyboards wear out so quickly.
Michael Martin wrote the definitive guide to appreciating Vogon peotry -- this has so confused the Vogons that they haven't destroyed anything for millenia.

I removed the MSVC12 Python builds I had (they didn't work correctly for some reason), and I tried building Python 3.4.1 with MSVC11 earlier today, and I have the builds working, other than the 'pythonw' executable, which exits with error code 9009 (DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NOTAUTH, according to msdn[^] )
I have successfully installed a module that includes C extensions (Markupsafe).
I am going to continue toying around with this, and I think I am going to start a project on SourceForge to distribute these builds. I will post a link here when I get it online.
I will try Python 2.7.8 tomorrow.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Meh. Put it on GitHub. While I loathe git, I do find GitHub to be easy to use and, from my narrow perspective, the "in" thing, which is also pathetic because I don't like to do what the masses are doing. SourceForge seems sort of passe.

I am using the unmodified (other than project file upgrades) sources from Python.org, and don't have any real items to put into source control. If I get a complete build system set up I might put it on Github.

Windows 7 Chuckle Of The Day
I'm working with my Beaglebone Black and whenever my BBB boots up and I have it connected via USB the Lightroom application on my PC starts up.
It baffled me for a while then I figured out what the heck was going on...Auto play under Pictures?
Well I chuckled, but I'm easily amused!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

Disabled it globally! I had only disabled it for Pictures but after I got your answer I went in and turned it off globally. Don't think it will effect me but I know how to turn it back on if it does.

Chris Maunder once wrote a VB program - in C.
