I got an USB printer which I have connected to the Network using a Raspberry Pi, and the printing works from any device I own (Surface Tablet, iMac, Windows-Devices), thanks to CUPS.

So you're using the Pi as a print server? Cool.

I need to, the printer originally had WLAN. Since my parents decided to install Ethernet cables throughout the flat (my Mom is actually terrified by WLAN radiations) and not use the WLAN anymore I figured out that it was cheaper to just use the spare Pi I had around as Printer server than buying an Ethernet-capable printer.
as said, I used CUPS[^] as server program, for one time something really good coming out of Apple's gates (I was really surprised when I found out that CUPS is developed by Apple).

So...the next version will need you to print via iTunes then?

At least this would mean that iTunes becomes available to Linux users. Obviously this wouldn't make any big difference, so - Nope

I have network printing built in to my HTC phone, obviously doesn't support every printer, but hasn't failed me yet.

To me, Ingress[^] is the one.
You can always use Cloud Print[^] for printing documents.

The first one was really great!

I like the first one, but the second is a reworking of an old joke.

In my quest to learn Ruby on Rails, I am installing a Rails development environment using Msys2[^]. It contains all the base packages (other than Rails and its dependencies) I need, such as Ruby, a compiler toolchain (GCC), and various libraries and utilities.
I can post a link to the system I set up here if people want (I will have to find a place to upload it first, as it is very, very large, almost a Gigabyte in size!)

I'm confused. I thought GCC was a C++ compiler. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

RoR still needs to be compiled since it is distributed in source form.

GCC has C, C++, Fortran, Obj-C, Obj-C++, Ada, and Java compilers.

GCC = GNU compiler collection. Not GNU C compiler.

I don't know what value posting a link to something that large would be, but the steps, things to look-out for would make a great article

Can you tell me, why you have decided to learn Ruby on Rails instead of ASP.net MVC ?

I thought I'd answer that, as it's a question I keep asking myself as to whether I want to continue with RoR and/or include ASP.NET / MVC as well in my toolbox of technologies.
I started with RoR over a year ago because that's what my client uses and I was taking over the web development. Looking at ASP.NET / MVC, it looks like Microsoft "borrowed" most of the concepts from RoR (who borrowed the concepts probably from somebody else), but anyways, it seems like it would be very easy to learn one once you know the other (and of course are familiar with the language itself.)
That said, there is a huge base of developer support for RoR, and I'm not sure that places like NuGet have the same level of community contribution. Most of the stuff is of decent quality too.
Because RoR is interpreted, it means that I don't have to recompile the app to see changes -- I can make changes to the model, controllers, and of course the views without having to restart the server. Makes development a breeze.
Ruby is a cool language too, it's fun to work in, but it can also be seriously abused--things you just won't find in C# code, such as returning two completely different types from a function call.

I'm about 70 coding hours into a RoR/AngularJS/Coffeescript project (all 3 new to me); and am finding about 2/3rds of my debug time is being spent on issues that a compiled/strongly typed language would've called me out on immediately; even ignoring that VS (or even Eclipse) >> Sublime my dev rate's a lot slower than on other platforms.
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?
