    Oh my. I agree with @PsychoticEvil, but also look into CCleaner. It'd help a ton in your case. You could remove gigs of temp with that program.

    I also run win7 and multiple disks bc it's an old desktop with an old C drive. I regularly (like once every couple months or so) run CCleaner, clean out old drivers (looking at you AMD), and checkout what's eating up space with WinDirStat or something similar.

    Try not to let C drive get more than 70-80% full if you can. Moving the page file, journal, swap file and not crucial programs and files off are a massive help.

    Really enjoyed it! I don't have enough time or energy to play competitively online anymore so it was nice to have a brief flashback into that. I won't be paying for Nintendo's online subscription so once it comes out I'd be stuck with just the offline game play. Not sure if that'll be worth the full price tag right out of the gates, but I'll definitely be picking it up at some point.

    Only got to play a bit on Sunday and got my ass handed to me constantly, but still enjoyed it.

    Looks like a cool concept. Doubt it'll take off though. I bet phones will soon start replacing low end laptops and just dock or connect to more peripherals and this seems to be a good step in that...

    That seems awfully closed minded. ~kink doesn't have to exist, but it could and if it did you wouldn't / shouldn't be forced upon it. Also there's nothing wrong with "a forum for prostitutes to work out of". If it's civil and (probably preferably) private/anonymous, then what harm is there in that?

    2nd for ExpressVPN. Been very good so far speed wise. Helps get around Netflix VPN blocks and I appreciate their mobile and different OS support.

    I wish I had the same optimism, but I find it hard to agree with the sentiment that "there won't ever be any bans without clear reasons attached". Every online community thought the same; Reddit, Digg, StackExchange, every IRC channel, etc.
    I like the trust system (a la StackExchange), but at some point there will inevitably be an abuse of power. At the moment, the trust system seems to be a good way of moderating / administering "justice", but I wouldn't be surprised if that falls flat at some point.

    We only find fault in failures, how we learn from them is key.

    Agreed about vi/vim and Total Commander, but saying Google Maps is open source isn't quite true. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure just the API and the SDK are available. You can't access the proprietary functions that you're interacting with, with either of those.

    Yeah, why not both? Could be 'best written' or could be usability (or both).

    Would you retry VLC or is it more of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of thing with K-Lite and Kodi?

    Thankfully this is just speculative at the moment. I don't think msft will pull the trigger on it because that 2Bn value is from a couple years ago and the new number is closer to 5. I've heard that's too much.

    Also VSTS/VSO is... Not so good. At least as much as I've used it, it's been a major pain in the ass. It tries to blend jira and git, but fails at both.

    I would switch over to gitlab, but it has its own pitfalls. With that said though, gitlab is more open so the because changes could happen relatively quickly/easily if the acquisition does happen.

    Edit: grammar is hard on phones.
