Visual Studio 2013 update WTFs
-
Doubt it'll help - the way Hyper-V works, it's utterly incompatible with any other virtualizer.
That's what got it removed from my laptop. Removing it returned VirtualBox back to working normally straight away.
-
I Uninstaller Hyper-V and it still runs like shit. Next time around, I just won't install Hyper-V. It is rubbish in comparison.
Hyper-V isn't really intended for desktop virtualization, and it shows.

Hyper-V is OK on the server side, if you want to setup a machine that will be administered through RDP. On the desktop, where you want to use a machine as a desktop, it just sucks. No immersive experience. It just looks like another window.
With VMWare Workstation, I can span a Linux VM across all three monitors and you cannot tell it from sitting at a bare metal install. Well, except I do not have to spend hours tracking down drivers and futzing with shit to make it work. Also, snapshotting makes it easy to try out new stuff. If it doesn't work, just revert.

I mainly use Vagrant on an old core 2 duo box to have a something that is "cloud like".
Never used Hyper-V, some admins I know love it ...

Just another hypervisor...with a fuckload more overhead.

Listing all the places Win8 was already mentioned is a bit above and beyond the call, bro.
Wasn't it, though? How the fuck did that not get a badge already?

Probably you weren't dickweedy enough. You gotta hit both prongs.
-
Many that get badges deserve none. And some that get none deserve badgers. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out flags in judgement

Well aren't you just Ernest MF'ing Hemingway today?

I've only read one of his books, so I can't say that I'm not, but that's a mangled Tolkien quote.
-
Meh, I assumed I would be way off. I was just aiming for "famous wordy author".
-
The original quote was from Gandalf chiding Frodo about wanting to have Gollum killed.
-

Also, I thought Hemingway was kinda famous for not being wordy. At least for his time. I think his influence (among others, no doubt) started something so that to modern ears he sounds a little bit wordy.
Also, I'm sure he'd rather stab a bull than update VS.

... or with different versions of itself. You can't easily move a VM from Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V to Windows Server 2012 R2 without an intermediate upgrade to Windows Server 2012.

When the wind was in the east a smell came across the cubes from the sales floor; but today there was only the faint edge of the odour because the wind had backed into the north and then dropped off and it was pleasant and sunny in the office.

odour
Hemingway was American. He spelled it "odor." It was difficult to find an actual quotation to verify this; he tended to use "smell," "scent" or "stink" instead, and most search results were from things written about him, not by him. I did eventually find one from a 1920 essay on camping: "The odor of citronella is not offensive to people. It smells like gun oil. But the bugs do hate it."However, in searching for Hemingway's use of "odor" I did come across a couple of other interesting tidbits. One, a "writer" who quotes Hemingway, but can't manage to spell his given name correctly. The other (attention @Luhmann) is his opinion of people from that little patch of dirt south of the Netherlands: "Been trying to think of what a Belgian smells like. . . . It is a blend of traitorous King, toe-jam, un-washed navels, old bicycle saddles, (sweated), paving stones. . . with a touch of leek soup and cooking parsnips."

Maybe the publisher translated for you people who don't know how to spell.

Did he have a particular odo[spoiler]u[/spoiler]r, or what?

Did he have a particular odo[spoiler]u[/spoiler]r, or what?
Not as far as I know:- A passage from a book describing Hemingway's opinion of critics, but it wasn't clear to me whether the quoted passage was something Hemingway wrote about critics, or something someone else wrote describing his opinion.
- An NY Times feature describing Hemingway's time in Madrid, and the stench of the city's main slaughterhouse.
Also, a large portion, maybe even the majority, of the search results are from things that mention or quote him, but the word "odor" occurs in some other context.
- A page of quotes about cooking includes a quotation by Hemingway, but "odor" occurs in a quotation by Pearl Bailey;
- The "writer" who can't spell his name: The blog post is about perfume as a component of (not necessarily unpleasant) body odor, and how the "writer" uses the names of perfumes and colognes as part of her character descriptions. The quotation from Hemingway is a completely unrelated "quote of the week" about writing.
- A cram.com page of quotations by Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Faulkner; the one containing "odor" is by Faulkner.

Bastards. OK, we do this a different way:
odor: 138 results
odour: 11900 resultsSo I'm pretty sure that this particular "odour" is canonical.

Does it really matter when it means the same thing?

ENOPENDANTRY

Pedantry always matters, especially for spelling.

Maybe so.
Sentence fragment.

Check it out: https://msxna.codeplex.com/releases/view/117230 (I don't think you need WP8 stuff to install this, I could be wrong though)
Or switch to MonoGame. But that has its own set of problems..
-
To use MonoGame effectively you need to install XNA anyway, because the MonoGame people still haven't gotten the Content Pipeline to work without it.
