>the kontanthjælp, "cash assistance" It's nice to see that your government is respectful towards those in need. In the UK, they call it "jobseeker's allowance" - like the type of allowance a parent gives a child.

I'll do some testing this weekend by mounting an SSHFS as my swap partition and removing all but a 256MB RAM module then opening several dozen instances of FireFox. My calculations show that this will have terrible performance but I want to

There is a tradition of keeping discussions on-topic or at least insightful. Off-the-cuff humourous comments are not really suited for a site like this. There are myraid places where that kind of expression is the norm already. This brings

They mean that each function does relatively little work, so to render a given web page, the number of function calls (and therefore vtable lookups) is higher than in other browsers. This translates to more overheads and slower execution.

I second this. I've been working out of hours a lot recently and find that my productivity is boosted dramatically when I am alone. Open plan offices need to go the way of the dinosaur.

In my opinion, it would be better to create an OS abstraction layer for the application so that conditionals do not have to be added everywhere and people are able to use whatever tools they are comfortable with.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they have swindled over a million USD for a glue gun which you can assemble at home in 20 minutes. Sure, people can spend their money on whatever they want but it doesn't make it any less ri

The cost of your developers using environments that they aren't adapted to is higher than the cost of dealing with inconsistencies introduced by the fact that they use Windows. It's more of a hassle for you , sure - but it's not your needs
