@OliverSalzburg my friend @allquixotic invited me in here... still not sure why, cause he opened up another room for dummies like me to spout off my lack of programming knowledge :)
@JaredTritsch it's based on exit polls and also on the assumption that as the votes roll in, the timeliness of when the votes are counted doesn't measurably affect the outcome... if the exit polls are meaningful and there isn't some weird thing like a majority of republicans voting late or something like that, then the outcome should remain fairly consistent
and you only need just enough information to get the electoral college vote decision
Will the People app in Windows 8 have functionality like the Message Center in OS X, allowing you to send/receive your SMS messages from a Windows 8 machine?
And if not, is there a 3rd party solution to accomplish this?
@allquixotic I've dropped the -O3 since it increases the compile time a lot for too small improvements. Still using LTO although I disabled that for some packages as they fail to link.
@jokerdino I'm a democrat from a democratic family (swung to Green Party this year because I realized I really truly align with the green party more than the democratic party, and my vote isn't needed in my state because Obama won anyway by ~70%) and I watch our local Fox news a lot.. they seem fair or slightly liberal-leaning :P
might be because the local Fox station is residing in an extremely liberal demographic market and they're just catering to the market, but I don't watch Fox's national programs... the local program seems good tho
I used to support the democratic party with a lot more fervor but they have really kind of merged into this centrist glob (along with the republicans) of late, so the distinction between the democratic and republican parties is much slimmer... hence the always close votes
Obama is a charismatic leader, and I agree with his social platform more or less... but I really wish someone would truly stand up to the issue of finite energy and climate change and make it a central part of their platform. Hence, the green party :P
I seem unable to initialize hardware-accelerated OpenGL on the GPU side of the Intel Ivy Bridge GPU (it's on a Core i7-3700K chipset, with the HD4000 graphics core).
This is a new problem on Windows 8. I distinctly recall having access to GPU-accelerated OpenCL on Windows 7. In fact, it came in ...
@JourneymanGeek I was just checking my external hard drive to see if it worked properly. It gave me a transfer speed of 26Mbps. It took about a minute to transfer 3.3GB to and from the drive. It is a WD My Passport Essential

@HackToHell I really don't see how he can get anything done at his job. I feel like I'm constantly on the site, yet, he gets like 4x more work done every day :D

You use virtual machines to do this, it is the easiest way. You use Hyper V and the VHD images provided by microsoft (or use a third party tool like virtual box).
First off, setup Hyper V as per the instructions given by Kronos here.

approximately same answer I posted before @HackToHell but he get 14 and I only 2 upvotes :(
At the moment its not possible to use IE-8 on Windows 8 because it does not support it. While I tried to install the IE-9 on Windows 8 and it says that its already install on the machine.
So if I'm getting correctly then it means that IE-10 has the running possibilities of IE-9.
But I th...
The easiest way to use a GUI program which is very handy in this situation. I'm recommending it because its not good to play with registry when you are not familiar with it.
