Does anyone know if I can RDP into a 2012 (or 2012R2) VM to test DPI scaling less painfully than on my Win7 work laptop?
I tried Googling but everything I found was going the other direction (how to RDP from a high DPI system to an older windows server) so I decided to tap the local hive mind.
Just running a Win 8.1 VM isn't an option due to corporate IT. It's not available on their VM boxes or as a local install and I'm not allowed to run it as a local VM.  (The reason I'm not allowed to use an MSDN license to install a local VM because the current site license charges a per local VM fee that the bean counters are unwilling to pay. I suspect, but never pressed the helpdesk to confirm, that the problem is a licensing enforcement tool that can't tell between an MSDN key that's already paid for and one that needs to go on the site license as a separate billable item.)
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?

- Whether trees.
- Ending sentences with a preposition.

Now there's a classic case of bad parsing, of the type jumped on by idiots who believe that such a ridiculous rule exists*.
"To hear of" is a phrasal verb, so your sentence ends with a verb, not a preposition.
* For those of you not in the know, it is absolutely forbidden to end a sentence with a preposition -- in Latin!
Idiots who had studied Latin and Greek at great length tried to also apply the rule to English, which they had studied to a much lower degree.
The same ridiculous attempted application of Latin rules can be seen with the "never split an infinitive" bollocks.
It is absolutely impossible to split a Latin infinitive, because they are single words, not two words, as English infinitives are.
What we can learn from this is: "A little learning is a dangerous thing".

Here you have the answer.[^]
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.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Quote: The roommates, Jiro Mendez and Elias Ecevo, have non life-threatening injuries from stabbing each other with broken beer bottles in this crime of OS-related passion.
America has really gone downhill lately.. whatever happened to a good old-fashioned assault with a semi-automatic rifle? Broken beer bottles, indeed!
