Does anyone know if I can RDP into a 2012 (or 2012R2) VM to test DPI scaling less painfully than on my Win7 work laptop?
I tried Googling but everything I found was going the other direction (how to RDP from a high DPI system to an older windows server) so I decided to tap the local hive mind.
Just running a Win 8.1 VM isn't an option due to corporate IT. It's not available on their VM boxes or as a local install and I'm not allowed to run it as a local VM.  (The reason I'm not allowed to use an MSDN license to install a local VM because the current site license charges a per local VM fee that the bean counters are unwilling to pay. I suspect, but never pressed the helpdesk to confirm, that the problem is a licensing enforcement tool that can't tell between an MSDN key that's already paid for and one that needs to go on the site license as a separate billable item.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Now there's a classic case of bad parsing, of the type jumped on by idiots who believe that such a ridiculous rule exists*.
"To hear of" is a phrasal verb, so your sentence ends with a verb, not a preposition.
* For those of you not in the know, it is absolutely forbidden to end a sentence with a preposition -- in Latin!
Idiots who had studied Latin and Greek at great length tried to also apply the rule to English, which they had studied to a much lower degree.
The same ridiculous attempted application of Latin rules can be seen with the "never split an infinitive" bollocks.
It is absolutely impossible to split a Latin infinitive, because they are single words, not two words, as English infinitives are.
What we can learn from this is: "A little learning is a dangerous thing".

Here you have the answer.[^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

America has really gone downhill lately.. whatever happened to a good old-fashioned assault with a semi-automatic rifle? Broken beer bottles, indeed!

/* Not a technical question but about my phone's behavior */
My phone is Lenova A6000. After a few hours of use; on the left button click it shows the amount of memory available. A good 150 MB seems to be losing out. I could confirm this on reboot when this 150 MB is reclaimed then. Furthermore, even using ES Task Manager this lost memory does not seem to be getting reclaimed.
Any other good memory management/task management tools for Android KitKat?
