Ender's Game is one of the best SF books I've ever read. Card is a great writer. I may not like his views about religion, homosexuality etc ... but he is a great writer.

The MIT course is a bad choice for modern C++ (this course is just C with classes). Just have a look at this lecture: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... The use of C-sty…

I don't think you could find a good (modern and complete) online resource for learning C++. You will find bits of knowledge here and there. Your best bet is to read C++ Primer 5th edition by Lippman…

Well, it happens :). I was a passionate XP user, Vista made me switch to Ubuntu. 7 and 8 are good alternatives to Ubuntu (from my point of view). Currently I use mostly OS X. I think a programmer shou…

Gedit is a good and free alternative, also multiplatform. I doubt a guy that goes all the way to install Wine just to use his favorite (mouse driven) text editor will be comfortable in VIM (I know you…

If you like working with LibreOffice but you hate printing a LibreOffice document from MS Office just save your document as pdf and you will be able to print this from any Windows/Mac/Linux computer. …

Our new Business edition, at $999, now includes iOS support for Visual Studio developers. I guess you will be able to use a device from Windows, or something like that. Otherwise it won't make sense…
