.Net Reflection and PyCharm? Wow, is it debugger related. Thats an odd,pair

The question we all need to be asking is, “how do we kill the machines?”

[Erik Latranyi]

What can you do?

Use LINUX. I’m using Mint cinammon 17.1 right now and is the sweetest OS I have ever used. Does circles around windoze while only using half the hardware.
