Never. Never ever. I run a couple of servers here at home, and have my own 30 TB cloud. Pricing model: simple. I buy used servers, at about e 300 apiece, and stick in new hdds. For 30 TB and a three-year write-off, that is € 625 / year. Expensive ? Yes. But what I get is priceless: total control

My fingers having a very hard "hit" upon individual keys, laptop keyboards tend to not survive my hands for much more than a year. I have been using a Mech CM Storm for some time now, with the added benefit that the aluminum plate, on top, can be taken off in order to clean the insides ( you'd be amazed at what falls out of a keyboard after some months of intensive use ! ). The keyboard has Cherry MX blue switches, and is - hence - loud and very "clickety-clickety". The thing is already heavy out-of-the-box; I attached an extra strip of lead to the bottom, so the keyboard sits rock-steady in the place where I put it. Customers ( I always bring the Storm on assingments ) tend to react amazed and interested.

This.

Call hierarchy is the word. I use that all the time with NetBeans, the built-in function for that is really awesome. Yields a lot of insight.

DOXYGEN ?? You MacOS punks ! Now get off my lawn, before I hose you with my emacs-generated documentation !

Finally. Finally someone popped up who pronounced the word "component". Mod parent up into fucking heaven. Finafuckingly.

The more pertinent question, in 2015, is whether anyone is going to protect mankind from its various religions.

TFTFY..

I know of one tool that I - and many, many others - can get shittons of work done with: concentration. Think about / work at a problem. Tinker. Fail, wrong direction, try again. Think, work, tinker. Only necessary precondition: no distractions. Works great. Tiring ? Hell, yeah. Rewarding ? Fuck, yeah.

Most of the commenters here did not even bother to catch that difference. RTFA, folks.

As a soldier, I was once involved in riot control in a remote African country. One riot involved me kicking through the window glass of a battered car in order to free the panicked woman inside. That was in 1989. In 2004, a shard of glass worked its way through the skin of my calf. Completely painlessly, mind you; after a couple of weeks, I could gently draw it out between finger and thumb.

The works of the famous painter Mondriaan will fall into the public domain as per February 1, this year.

You are wrongly informed, did not search deeply enough, or maybe simply don't read German ? A team of Austrian archeologists is preparing to start digging, as soon as the weather allows it, i.e. as soon as precipitation and hydrology levels are so low as to let them work without danger of being suddenly flooded. Here in Austria, this would typically be from the end of April to the beginning of November.

Sounds like an idea. It would, however, entail to break the law by getting into the complex in this place. ( Pic featured in this Wikipedia article, in German. ), as well as, literally, walking over a certain public feeling of decency, as this place is a memorial to so many victims from nearby concentration camp Mauthausen, who were forced to work an die here.

"The whole 3rd Reich and occupied territories were tunneled..." is vastly exaggerated. See the overview map provided with this rather well-informed article, which will now need to be updated with the newly found complex in Austria.

And St. Georgen-an-der-Gusen is about a good hour's drive away. I'll certainly visit the place once it is opened up for the public. It is quite amazing what lengths the Nazis went to in order to shelter their weapons production from Allied bombing. Just outside the town I now live in, the Nazis dug out an existing cave complex, which had been a gypsum mine up to WO II, until the volume was large enough to facilitate a complete HE162 jet fighter production line.
