What, Fred Flintstone yelling "YABBA-DABBA-DOO!"?
That's the noise my Win 7 machine makes.

It's identical on mine: I press the power button and it goes "beep" and then loads Windows. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

OK, this stuck in my head, because I really couldn't remember the Win 7 start-up sound, and I couldn't remember even hearing a Win 10 start-up sound.
So I googled it (with a search engine other than google)[^]
It turns out that the Win 7 start-up sound is the same as that of lots of Win versions, but not Win 10, which doesn't even have a start-up sound.
Did you upgrade, rather than do a clean install? That would explain it

One of my old fridges was killed by a mouse.
Granted, that's not on the same scale (it cost somewhat less than 4 milliard to replace), but what's interesting about it is that when I mentioned it to the insurance company, they refused to pay up. I should have kept my mouth shut and just taken the cheque.
Check your contents insurance for coverage for damage by animals, and if something is damaged by an animal, don't tell anyone.

I guess they'll have to come up with a new term for "bug"

Weasels are God's way of telling you not to set off the apocalypse with your interfering! Scientists take heed or next time it'll be you going pop!

The art with apocalyptic prophecies is not to commit to a single interpretation too soon!

You can get away with murder, hahaha.
Actually, it's really cool for cross-platform development. I'm doing all the development on Windows, then doing final testing on the Beaglebone. It's also fun to test individual modules with stuff like this:
[edit] Funny, CP's parsing removes the double underscores before and after 'main' [/edit]
if __name__ != '__main__':
import Config
else:
class Config(object):
config = None
def __init__(self):
Config.config = self
def getTid(self):
return "1234"
Because, as with any duck-type interpreter, if the class quacks, use it. Actually makes mocking classes for unit testing really simple.
Don't mock me!!!

I agree with you the more I use it the more I like it. Doing some stuff on the RPi 3 and soon on the Pi Zero which is an awesome little device.
I like the pyCharm IDE, its really nice.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Yes, thank goodness for JetBrains, we don't have to use Eclipse!
I've been playing around with their C# IDE beta as well and liking it.

I do use eclipse on Linux machine when writing for the RPi, but that's going to change.

Didn't know they had a C# IDE will have to check, thanks for the heads up. During the cooler season here in FL we hike, it's too hot and buggy the rest of the year. I'm also a section leader for a 9 mile section for the FL Trail along the Suwannee River so computing gets put on the back burner until it's too hot to hike...like starting now.

Check out Rider, A cross-platform C# IDE based on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper[^]
Page takes forever to load!

I finally took the plunge and hooked up some hardware to one of the BeagleBoneBlack's I have (part of a client project) to learn about the I2C and GPIO. Got a gyro module working this weekend and passing rotational info, via RabbitMQ, over to a C# app displaying a cube. Fun stuff! It's been years since I read a spec on an IC, gads that was a re-learning experience.

Rider looks interesting, thanks I'll check it out. And yes it takes forever to load, plus we live way out in the country and our internet is slow on occasion, tonight being one of the occasions.
I don't know how familiar you are with electronics but Practical Electronics for Inventors[^] is an excellent reference. They just came out with the 4th edition and it's fairly inexpensive and contains almost 2ce the information that was in the previous edition.

I'll be waiting.
One year from now there will be rants about Python, just like with Ruby et al.

Why wait?[^]
Honestly, I'd never use Python for a medium or large scale project, certainly not for web development (Django? shiver) but for cross-platform stuff on an SBC, bring it! Especially when there's so many people that have done cool things (like with LCD display modules) that I can use directly in Python, instead of having to resort to C. And when I need pin-level control of the hardware, talking to a C library is quite easy.
As with Ruby, my productivity is anywhere from 1/10 to 1/2 of what I can achieve in a language where the IDE tells me that with "Foobar = 5", "Foobar" not defined because I meant "foobar", instead of just happily creating the damn variable on the fly, leaving me to wonder why the program acts weird.

Make sure you uncheck the 'Use Markdown formatting' checkbox
if name != '__main':
import Config

Ah ha! Learned something new. Those checkboxes are off the bottom of my screen, didn't even notice them before.
Thanks!

Hello all,
When I scroll up or down in the Microsoft Help viewer Visual Studio documentation, I can hear a beep noise through the loudspeakers...
Anyone hears the same while scrolling there?
And even better anyone knows how to remove it?
Thank you all!

I've searched by noise and sound but not beeping... 
It looks like it works...
