Ideal. You'd be living high in Perth or Brisbane in a couple of years. With cold beer.
And groupies.
And a house.
With cable.

Probably you wouldn't really need Internet at all, life would be so beautiful there, simple and unstressful as it should be, without social networks and all that modern rubbish.

Holy crap, this was exactly what I was going to post.. My 486 tower I have in the bone pile actually still has all 6 chapters of Wolf3d and Spear of Destiny still installed. GENIUS! The Pentium tower has Doom 2 and Sim City.

...compared to Sacha Barber. That guy is - and there's really no other way to say it - simply f*ckin amazing.

If it is any consolation to you, I'm a just a hack, as well. We have our purpose in this world, too (saying this helps me sleep at night).

Nah, just publicly recognizing a better programmer.

Ok, actually yesterday, but that's not important...
Got a new laptop... Lenovo Y50 with an i7... Seems like a nice rig so far, but it's also my first direct experience with Windows 8.1 (All of my other machines either run Win7, Ubuntu, or Android).
Now, I don't mind the start screen... I'm sure I'll get sick of it soon, but so far I haven't tried doing any serious work on that machine (It's mostly for vacations and LAN parties)... So I can tolerate it for now. It would be utterly useless if it was a desktop, but it's a laptop with a touch screen, so it has a slight purpose.
What REALLY bugs me, though... I'm in the middle of a game, putting the GPU through its paces, and an overlay comes up saying my machine has downloaded updates and will restart in 15 minutes. The only options I'm presented with are "Restart Now" and "Close"... So I hit Close and assume I can just reboot later...
Ten minutes later... There's that overlay again... 5 minutes left! Wait, I can't postpone it? This is when having the nearest hammer more than 15 feet away was fortunate.
So yeah... Windows 8.1... You'll restart when we TELL you to restart!
(I found you can manually create a specific registry key to disable this behavior... Starting the next time you reboot... So hopefully it won't happen again, or I might have to perform unlicensed surgery on the OS)
I'm sure I'll find more things I hate about it soon enough... But that's enough for one post.

I'm not convinced Win8.1 is compatible with anything.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
