Nads told people about a new version of windows and showed a [not pretty] picture.
How many lemmings went down that path.
And now MS is really upset because somebody else's W10 scam plagiarized their BSOD.

Tangent to this... my wife has been telling our 11 year old daughter when she reads a word she doesn't understand, to look up the root word in the dictionary to discover the meaning.
Last night, when I prepared for bed, I found my daughter on my bed reading; no an usual occurrence. I asked what she was reading. "The dictionary", was her reply. I am not going to object to a child that wants to learn on her own...

Intellect is like a muscle. You have to train it in order to use it, but also to use it in order to train it.

They probably mean "abscond":
[əbˈskänd]
VERB
1.leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to avoid detection of or arrest for an unlawful action such as theft:
"she absconded with the remaining thousand dollars"

'Abseilen' is a normal German word and indeed means to lower yourself down with a rope. I can assure you that we also use it when we sneak away from something where we are expected to stay, like taking the first opportunity to sneak out of a boring party. Abscond could be a good translation, if it can be used when it's not quite abot a crime.

Hi All,
Am I the only one who used to use printf() in C (& C++, never a language I liked) as a way of seeing how the program was pasting data sent to it these days it's print it to a label or the list box rather than just dump it on screen no fancy formatting etc...

printf (and all its variants) is still the debugger in case where there is no debugger (I had a case with micro-controllers, when the only way I found was to write debug info to the second serial port and listen to it with an other application - kind of printf)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The first program I ever paid money for was a debugger. That was around 1979 and I still have it on tape. Sometimes I even use it when testing new stuff in the emulator.

I debugged image alteration and analysis algorithms via printf before knowing of the debugger.

By pure luck my first program I ever bought was a debugger, so I never really had to resort to doing something like that. At least until the day came when I had to debug a multithreaded monster where hitting a breakpoint would have been fatal.

Luckily I use VisualStudio so for mono-process multi-thread there's the option of blocking every thread and noone gets hurt usually (except the timeouts based on the system high resolution timer). Multiprocess multithread isn't something I ever did so I wouldn't know, but without careful design and tracing they should be hell...
