WTF, no capital N! How in the name of the dark one would I be able to name a class NinComPoop properly?

I, for one, can do without capital n. However, maybe you should look for it in the Cyrilic part of Unicode?

I looked at it and noticed that the capital/lower case lines weren't the same length. Instead of noticing the missing 'N', I actually thought it wasn't a fixed width font and decided it was garbage. Whoops!

On my work box, this seemed to confuse the font system - a default install only made the oblique variant available, which was undesirable in a coding font.
Source Code Pro[^] does the job for me just fine.

I think I'm gonna check it out (but Envy Code R is still king).

My initial thought is that I like Consolas better. In particular, lower case ijl are IMO more clearly differentiated. Monoid might be a bit better with 1I differentiation, but with a top hook and no pedestal base it's 1 just looks fugly.

Just tried it. Jesus, that is bad... must be the least readable font I have ever seen

No like ! Cap "A" looks "swollen," most of the glyphs look emaciated.

The first step is a project with Rackspace to make OpenStack easier to deploy and manage. "Set me down easy from that special cloud you put me on"

Cloud: computer, ethernet port, ethernet cable connecting to Internet.
How can that be hard?
The cloud is a fuzzy term but Intel is referring generally to an architecture in which applications are virtualized, or running in software containers, and can be set up and pulled down with high levels of automation.
Ah. And I need this why? I think that's the hard part.

Functional languages are the future of our industry. It only sounds rude

They all start out with an OO language like Ruby, Java, or Python, and eventually end up switching to something more "scalable".

The most common question is why is only C++ being made optional. Don't think of yourself as "optional", think, "super-secret special"

With just four days left before launch, Windows 10’s policy of automatic updates has run into its first major problem and it is causing many PCs to stop working correctly. Gosh. No one could have foreseen that.

Yes, although I didn't expect it to be so soon! Maybe the Home version auto-update is a cunning ploy to get everyone to upgrade to Pro?

As a gamer I find this particularly unsettling. Nvidia (and to a lesser extend AMD) regularly release game day driver updates to improve performance/fix bugs in new games shader code; for anyone playing AAA games at release these new drivers are generally a must have update. For the rest of us, nVidia at least is reasonably good about getting WHQL driver updates out every month or two; but AMD recently went 9(!!!) months without a WHQL driver update.
OTOH if the clash between the W10 and NV updates was only due to the version number WHQL thought it had being mangled; and the default behavior being not to replace newer beta drivers with older WHQL ones this might not be a long term issue.
On the gripping hand, if all previously optional updates are going to be mandatory instead of just drivers (and since a lot of crashes are due to driver bugs I can see why MS would want to change this) a lot more people are going to have problems. I have absolutely no desire for useless crap Bing Desktop (or WTE it's called this month), Bing Toolbar, Skype, (I could not use it even if I wanted because I don't have mic on my PC), WTE they're calling outlook express this month (I have real Outlook TYVM). In the case of Silverblight have expunged it from my system entirely as a security risk; the only browser plugin I have is Flash and that only under duress.

If you're looking for a reason to upgrade to Windows 10 next week -- or whenever the upgrade appears for you -- how about the fact that it is the most secure version of Windows ever released? Stop me if you've heard this one before...

Here[^], most recently in May. The 8.1 infection rate was 3-4x lower than the 8.0 rate and 4-5x lower than the 7 infection rate. It's higher still if you compare 8.1-64 to prior x86 versions. The most heavily exploited bug in the report was patched in 2010; which is why, despite all the friction it's causing making patches mandatory is the right move for MS to make in W10.
