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?

Since you mentioned it had gone up, I went and checked mine and 1 of them has gone up slightly
I have got 1 x 40GBP and 1x 35GBP monthly credits, I use one of them for hosting all my DNS related stuff for my domains. that costs about $2 a month or something like that.
Should really put it to use as well.........

When it comes to deployment you end up in a world of broken links, misnamed redist files etc.
I can improve the core speed of my C#/WPF app by 3x using some C++ calls to intrinsics (mostly popcnt) but when it comes to deployment it's an absolute nightmare.

|
So don't deploy it, and when the tickets start coming in, reply: "Works on my machine".

Even worse: Whenever they suddently lose interest in something and head in another direction, Mickeysoft deliberately throws any obstacle in your way theat comes in handy. That usually happens after yet another failed OS and the obstacles are there to usher you in the new direction of the week too.
This BS has been going on ever since Vista and that's one of the main reasons why I only call them Mickeysoft anymore.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

not entirely agreeing...
yes they seem to want to bury it.... but it is relatively straightforward to use and deploy.
the only hassle I had was supporting both 32bit and 64bit. Hence when I used it (many yers ago) I went 32 bits executable only...

I am only using x86 - all worked fine in VS 2010 - now in VS 2015 it doesn't deploy at all - all the links Microsoft provide in their error messages and documentation are broken. The vcredist file you can download is misnamed and doesn't deploy anyway and I am getting public key issues.
I have these issues a lot and have decided it is time to scrap C++ - it's far too much bother at the deployment stage - I hate deployment at the best of times.

RT KS documentation is now minimal/wrong/missing.
WDM hardly gets a meniton in new technology, its all WDF. Soon the raw API docs will get pulled I expect.

Damnit, I read that, guessed Andromeda just from the first part and the awkward transition to the second part, but didn't respond in time I'm usually pretty slow at these too. Well done Peejay

I got a bit lucky with the timing today, I just happened to look within a few minutes of it being posted - they're usually long solved by the time I see them.

How does "nearby star" lead to "Andromeda"? It's not a star, and it's 2.5 million light years away!

When the universe is estimated at 93 billion light-years across, 2.5 million light years is "nearby".
|
|
|
|
|
Nearby star family (galaxy in loose terms) leads to it. Andromeda galaxy is the nearest one to ours. It is not a friendly one either. Just in few billion years, it will take over our nice little Milky way.

Ah, "star family", not "star". That makes more sense.
