Funny enough, the person I was driving behind this morning was indeed going .0001 yoctometers per second!

No Pants Day on the NY Subway.
It is one of those times when the difference between The English Language and 'Whatever it is they speak in the Colonies that is almost but not quite English' diverge.
If it really were a No Pants day on The Tube (London Underground Railway Network) it would have a far more exciting thrill.
But These[^] people are quite clearly wearing pants. All they have done is removed their trousers. Why would the British traveller want to copy the Americans.
They should have been braver and made it a proper No Pants day.

No pants may have lead to heavy panting.

Every day is No Pants Day for the Jocks!

I want to be all day pajama day but i am back to work
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

That is what they want you to think - but it is a trap! (A Jocks trap)

years I've been waiting for that pun...years!

Ugh.. please not.. just imagining that ...

So now i am needing not only my headphones but dark glasses too

Maybe they didn't want to show off their liking of the Bushs
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I'm not native English so checked it...
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousers[^] - It seems like English.
Google Translates it in US way... (uses underwear for to other)
However I didn't get the idea - for what? isn't it cold in NY now?

Images one, two and three are on the London Underground.
Not a pretty sight.

That's one word where I can sort-of see where the 'merkins are coming from. Our "pants" is an abbreviation of "underpants", which implies they're something worn under "pants". For those of us south of the haggis line, that would imply that "pants" are the same thing as trousers.
Of course, I could just be talking out of the rear of mine.

Quite. You bet your fanny.

It's laptop upgrade time!!! Is the the 4th gen i7 really worth the extra money over a 4th gen i5? Is it something I'm going to notice or are we talking a 1-2% difference? My google fu is failing me this morning.

I have both and it feels like I really do notice the difference when I go onto the I5. Of course, I might just have been suckered in by good marketing.

I did eventually find a benchmark comparing the two processors and there is a >10% difference in performance. It wasn't enough to get me to but it though. The price difference was 25%, part of that was for a larger SSD which I do not need.

If you're comparing a 2 core (HT) i7 to an i5 at standard power levels, all you're getting is slightly higher clocks. For lower power chips the i7's have a significantly higher sustained clock rate; although the i5 will turbo almost as high before thermal throttling. The real performance winner for an i7 is that you can get 4 core HT models. Those will be significantly faster for anything sufficiently threaded.

Yet the i7 has a higher power consumption. If it's for a notebook this might be something that matters. Working with an i5 might provide a little bit longer battery life

IIRC idle power levels are very close; you'll only see a large difference if regularly pushing the CPU hard on battery. OTOH if you're doing that, you're doing it wrong anyway.

I'd say make sure you get an SSD for the boot drive and Visual Studio to run off of, as well as all of your builds. That makes all the difference in the world.
