Eddie Murphy is black. Like Kevin Hart is too. GLAAD and the left are very careful in calling out homophobic views of black people, and instead of calling for their resignation or "cancelation" as they would for a white person, th

I'm pretty sure a house is not expected to run centuries from now with present day electrical/piping systems. It's a bit like people from 200 years ago debating what to make the candle holder from so that it lasts 100 years.

Ukraine is not the kind of place where you need to fight 5 years in court to demolish an old laundromat to build a new building.

I know very well what a burqa is. It's a weekly sight. I wouldn't call that extraordinary. I see it way more often than a kippah https://www.novinite.com/media/inpictures/201003/photo_veryb...

I see a burqa weekly and 10+ niqabs every day, and the area that I live is not what you would call a "muslim zone". It's certainly not a tourist zone, so unlikely to be non-locals.

Maybe in the countryside. Go to any West EU capital and you'll see planty of niqabs and burqas.

Apple designers hate holes and buttons. They are fighting really hard to remove as many as possible. No way they put a huge slot on the side for an SD card. The perfect notebook in the eyes of an Apple designer would be a solid slab of alum

That chart is wrong, it says bitcoin appreciated 60 times (since 2014). If you start counting from the first available public prices ($0.1), it's 200,000 times apreciations. If you start from the price when the first articles about it

But the actual syscall is made by a Windows user mode library - kernel32.dll/... So your GPL user mode app calls directly into proprietary Windows library.

by 781 7y ago
But in Windows drivers are binary files which talk to the kernel through an API. Not much different than a binary user mode application. If binary user mode applications written in GPL are ok, then so should this.

The current implementation is a shim over the NT kernel. This new one is a true Linux kernel.

How does this true Linux Kernel talk with the rest of Windows? How does it access the Windows file system?
