I was wondering where I can download a c++ compiler with code completion that doesn't suck like the back-end of a donkey.

On Linux, I can do: $ FOO=BAR ./myscript to call "myscript" with the environment variable FOO being set.

To be more clear about my use case - I don't want to use this as part of a script. R...

I received a Python project (which happens to be a Django project, if that matters,) that uses the fcntl module from the standard library, which seems to be available only on Linux. When I try to run it on my Windows machine, it stops with an ImportError, because this module does not exist here. Is there any way for me to make a small c...

While this would indeed scale windows and visual elements, how do we make make WPF "respect" the current font settings of the user? Should we specify a certain font to be used and stick to that font? How would one go about layout-ing a "well behaved app...
