I love 'em all. And I love particular things about all of them. Windows has simple installs for the most part. And there are tools like "Everything Search" that are fantastic at filtering files. "Charles" sees a lot of development love on OS X. iTerm is a beautiful console emulator. Linux is...

There have a been a lot of focuses on improving performance on Windows 8. I can't find the particular resources about optimizing text and image processing algorithms and how Office 2013 was redesigned to be more power efficient, but here's a host of other entries by developers at Windows: -...

Ah yes, C#, the darling child of Windows and .NET. Don't forget to give http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/ a try.

Check out some of the low cost hosting options on http://lowendbox.com/ But if you want reliable hosting, DigitalOcean and Linode are probably the way to go. Are you comfortable with handling a UNIX box? The cool thing about DigitalOcean and Linode is that they both have IRC support channels...

Just wondering, is this a proof of concept? If not, it may make more sense to prioritize marketing and getting feedback from users and the sort of pain points they have. None of us (presumably) are using your product, so us giving feedback may not be *as* useful. Still useful, but acquiring and...

Like odoe mentioned, tmux + $EDITOR + whatever language/platform of choice (for me, it's a toss up between Node.js, Python, Clojure). And for me, the editor of choice is usually vim.

Light Table is a very cool editor/IDE for HTML + Javascript. It also supports Clojure and Python well, but that's outside of the scope of the question. It offers live previews/updates to your code as you're editing it. Chris Granger, the creator of Light Table, raised over $300k on Kickstarter...

You can go through the K&R book for learning how to program in C. The coding style is outdated, but it will build a solid foundation on system calls. It's a very short book. If you're dedicated and just starting out to program, you should be able to go through it in about 4-6 weeks. The book is...

They should do something on Kickstarter, like all of these other games: http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/video%20games/most-fundedmore#p1 It would be much better in terms of marketing and visibility, too.

I bet we'd see a lot more interesting games if Nintendo made their SDK/dev kit accessible to just about anybody, no need to jump through legal loopholes or asking for permission. If you're an Android developer, you just need to get a Google lifetime license for $100 and then you can publish any...

I think at this price point, it's really trying to compete with OnLive's gaming console: http://www.onlive.com/game-system/ more than anything else. It'll be a while before it's on equal footing with a dedicated console like the 360 (complete with Kinect accessory) or PS3. And it's a decent...

Games like SC2 and Diablo 3 are designed with lowend graphics cards in mind. They want as many players as they can -- therefore, their games have scalable graphics. It's great, I think. Not enough game manufacturers that would cater as low as Blizzard. That's one of the reasons the original...

No love for Opera and Safari, guys? Haha, I kid. Firefox is pretty slow on older computers, though (as far as I've tested it).

You could also try using the integrated graphics of the 3770k paired with your mobo. Just to troubleshoot if the graphics card has the problem.

Just curious, why are you so worried about putting it together? The best way to get over that anxiety is to just keep on doing it. Repeated exposure to putting computers together will make you less antsy about breaking computer parts. Not to mention a lot of parts are covered under warranty...
