Delegates are a fundamental part of the .NET runtime and whilst you rarely create them directly, they are there under-the-hood every time you use a lambda in LINQ to make your code more functional. But how to they actually work and what’s going in the CLR when you use them? For the curious and/or geekishly inclined

A team led by University of Utah electrical and computer engineering professor Carlos Mastrangelo and doctoral student Nazmul Hasan has created "smart glasses" with liquid-based lenses that can automatically adjust the focus on what a person is seeing, whether it is far away or close up. "I wish I had a pair of little magic glasses that I could see the future just by lookin' through"

Are users really in love with Windows 7? Or are they clinging to old habits as Windows 10 rolls out? Three popular data sources offer very different answers. Regardless of which one you choose, take that data with a heaping helping of salt. E: none of the above

No but to many things are not supported anymore(AV,Email Client,Web browser..) on Vista making it difficult to stay on the OS.
But I have so many programs that I use on a daily bases that I hate to take all of the time to rebuild from scratch.

I know that pain.
It takes me months before a new machine is properly broken in, and all the programs I need are configured the way I want them -- and that's even with hacking settings out of the registry for most apps.
Being wary of updates (particularly to operating systems) has got nothing to do with being a Luddite, it's about knowing how much extra work and headaches it can give you.

Even more than the XP/Vista diehards that the author talks about, I'm baffled by the ~2% running 8.0. It's been out of patch for about a year making it horribly unsafe; and I don't ever recall anyone seriously arguing that 8.0 was better than 8.1.
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?

Don't forget that a huge number of people don't have a history with/much knowledge of computers, so they think that however they work is the way they're meant to be.
If all you've ever known is win 8, you'll think it's OK.

AFAIK those people should've been auto-updated when 8.1 became a recommended update. Still being on 8.0 today would require active stupidity.

I liked Windows 8.1 and now like 10. My kids, from oldest to youngest, use 10, 7, 7 & 8.1 (but they all have laptops and I'm wary of upgrading laptops so haven't encouraged them.) BTW, at work, I use CentOS 6.8--yes, it sucks.

Redmond is still being a bit coy about precisely what Game Mode will and won't do, but the picture has become a little clearer. So, Windows ships with a built-in Xbox?
