That's awesome! 
Thanks, Mike - that makes my day.

Naw, too much paperwork. I'll just tell anyone who asks that you suggested it.

Seriously? You think he's the jackass? I think the other guy is just a humorless, selfish, ignorant sunshine... and the Australian is the jackass? I want to believe you were trying to be funny but I don't think you were.
Of course, it's probably not real anyway.

The Aussi talks about how he used to piss off his old neighbors. Then he moves to the US and expects everyone to do what he wants.
The other guy was well within his rights to put up a light. Plus, he was there for AT LEAST 5 years before the Aussie. The Aussie shows up and wants everyone to change for him.
Spells JACKASS.

His origin is really quite irrelevant. If he lives here he has the same rights as everyone else and that includes the right not to be blinded by a light that could easily be moved or have the intensity reduced.

Yes, but not one that could blind people or disrupt their sleep: that is not reasonable.
Plus, just because the other guy lived there for 5 years is a big so what - it means nothing; he was just being selfish and uncaring and the aussie wasn't asking him to change, just turn down or redirect the light 0 hardly unseasonable.
I guess, though, you're probably just like the jackass: think you can do whatever you want even if it upsets or disrupts other people - you must be a real joy to live next to.

Wow, so because we disagree you feel the need to insult me.

Wasn't an insult - was an observation.

Indeed, I couldn't help but laugh at that part too.
It's actually Australia Day here on Sunday the 26th, so the stories of er, 'heroic boganism' are likely to come flooding in shortly. I cant help but think of the old youtube classic "Straya Day" - which is almost certainly not safe for work.

Guys, who can tell me whether there is some site/service allowing coders to run their code on really fast PCs, testdrive-like.
Maybe I am too naive but it would be nice if Intel/AMD and why not CP to have one such PC (with, say, 32 threads and 64GB) dedicated to users' benchmarking purposes, yes?

Thanks, I will have it in mind, however it is not exactly what I need:
Your application will execute on a virtual computer that we call an instance.
AFAIK, a Virtual Machine is not the proper choice for benchmarking.

For that you have to use an average computer you customers will use to.

Usually people test against lower-end CPU/IO, not high-end.
What are you wanting to see or prove by running your code on a higher end CPU ?
I'd rather be phishing!

The key thing for me is to calibrate a C snippet for modern CPU, e.g. Haswell.
I want to see what boost e.g. the Haswell's 4 ALUs can deliver in internal loops where every shift/rotate/multiplication matters.
My old Core 2 cannot give me the real picture.

Well I've got a 4770K right here. Maybe we can work something out.

Shift/rot still have a throughput of 2/cycle at best. Shifts by cl have become worse than they used to be, consider using "shlx" and friends.
