I am using Win 8.1, so Cygwin is really my only option, as neither of those Unix subsystems works on that platform (AFAIK). I like Cygwin, anyways, although I usually install a base system with some development tools and build most other things I use.

Mingw works on Windows 8.1, but it seems Microsoft dropped support for SFU as of Windows 8.1 - perhaps they'll drop support for keyboards in Windows 9.

It's an impressive effort ... implementing fork on top of the Windows API is no mean feat.

As a side note, there is MinGW-w64[^], which is GCC for 32- and 64-bit Windows.

I'm currently watching a man smelling the breath of ten people who haven't brushed their teeth for 5 days to tell if they are male or female.
He got one wrong.
The science says there is a difference in the oral cavity of the genders and so their breath smells different.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take. He recognizes that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The storeowner replies, "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale."
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat."
And the owner says, "Sold," and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish."
And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats."

FYI, you might want to check your professional profile. It seems it may have been goofed again.

Seems OK to me. Did you notice anything particular that looked odd?

Look at your user icon next to your messages. I see the normal 'user' icon.
EDIT: You also do not have the 'professional' badge on your user page.
