You want to do amateur or power-level computing? Then there is no other choice than Windows! Period. As a Windows user you don't have to spend tons of a money for a Mac PC (sorry Mac guys but Mac is nothing else than an expensive PC now) and you don't have to waste time on forums to learn how install stuff. All that Linux/Mac can offer you can get on Windows and get is better. I spent many years working with Linux but it was always only my second choice. Sorry Linux friends, but I said it.

Top Windows, HTML 5, WYSIWYG HTML editors
Do you need a free web editor that supports HML5? I needed one and I really had to waste some time to review some. Here are the conclusions (and the conclusions only). NOTE: See the 2017 update at the end of the post!

Comment: Seems robust and mature
Maqetta

LibreOffice

OpenOffice.org 2014

Embarcadero finally decided to fix SOME bugs in Delphi
In the new road map, Embarcadero finally decided to fix SOME bugs in Delphi.
It seems good news but hold your horses:
1. They not always keep their promise related to the road map.
2. There are not so many bugs
3. They won't do all the fixes at once, but until 2018
4. Until 2018 another 500 new bugs (AT LEAST) will be introduced
5. We have to pay (not 59 bucks but HARD money) to get that non-buggy version of Delphi.
And in the end, what the fuck are we so happy that Embarcadero is fixing some bugs? Is not a present, a gift from heavens! Those bugs SHOULD NOT BE THERE anyway!
So, thank you Embarcadero for finally thinking to fix some bugs and FUCK YOU.
PS: In the next road map maybe you will introduce an item likes "free updates".

Toshiba Qosmio - 10GB hidden partition
I just find out where a good chunk on my free HDD space disappeared.
After purchasing the Toshiba Qosmio laptop, I have seen that only 450GB of 500 are available. Few hours after purchase I discovered that two large hidden partitions were created by Toshiba. One is 1GB large and it seems to be the standard Windows 7 hidden partition - but obviously much larger. The second one is not less than 10.3GB in size! It seems to contain the recovery software (Windows setup, drivers, etc.)
The second partition is safe to delete since the so called "recovery" tool offered by Toshiba is 100% useless because it will format your drive and reinstall Windows instead of actually trying to recover the data for you.
So, no matter what you do, DO NOT use Toshiba's recovery utility if you have and important files on your drive!
Details:
The partitions can bee seen using the Disk Management utility.
Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Managment>Disk Management
Just delete the last partition (not also the first one!) and expand the previous one to fill the free space.
