Did you not read the links given, which have further details about the actual studies?

Same. Given the US' NSA's long-standing violation of human rights at massive scale, and the proclivity of American society to be reasonable about kidnapping people, deemed unsavory, off the streets by jackboot thugs - and the fact

Yes indeed, it is very fun to discover this if you don't know it already, it expands your understanding of your shell life immensely, doesn't it?

I had moved into a new place, and it had a little garden, which attracted stray city cats. A kitten found my garden and adopted it, just moving in and living there. I invited her inside, fed her, took her to the vet, made sure she was oka

I agree with the OP, American sources are untrustworthy on this matter. Do you read Arabic?

The motivation to be known as the nation that stops slaughters should not occlude the truth that in fact, the nation only stops slaughters that serve its own interests. That the USA allowed Gaza to happen has put an end to the idea that Ame

As a non-American, I want Americans to quit using their warrior narcissism to ruin the world. I'd like to see you disarmed, personally - your regime is out of control and your nation is in the grips of a psychotic nationalist mental i

The US doesn't stop a slaughter unless it is strategically relevant to the US' special interests - and it does promote slaughters if they are strategically relevant to the US' special interest.

The USA is the only nation so far which has committed mass murder with nuclear weapons. It seems to want to reserve itself that exclusive right.

Its what happens when your nation state has been raised on an unhealthy diet of warrior narcissism.

I started a "mans group" - just a bunch of my local male friends in the neighborhood, doing 'man things' - actually there's no need to pitch it this way, we're just all men and so far thats how we describe ours

I used that DOSSHELL method for a while until I got Quarterdeck Desqview set up - and from that point on, to me DOS was nothing more than a terminal interface to my pizzabox. Sure would've been nice if the Desqview engineers and the GE

Yes, I agree with you on all points - and in hindsight it seems mad that SGI didn't see Apple as the competitors they eventually became, until it was far, far too late. I rue the day someone at SGI decided to make a deal with the Micro

No, I only ever witnessed it being tested on N64 hardware during my visits to Oracle to have lunch with friends .. it was a "what if" kind of project, as far as I recall, to see if it could be done. I guess it wasn't viable.

That was Windows. Linux floppy-based installs usually just got through the whole series and then asked for disk 1 prior to reboot ..

/u/sdz-mods - the person doing the 3DFX port to Irix - reported just now that they got MesaFX up and running and that'll serve as the basis of a "MiniGL" to get the port done. ;) So, there is hope!

Awesome. Can't wait to see your progress. What other neat hardware support might you add in the future?

> sells products for a minimum of £10K to a company that sells products for £2K Well .. Apple ended up doing it. Why couldn't SGI? /s Oh, I know why SGI couldn't do it: elitism. They were high on their own hubris for th

Yes.. some interesting thoughts there, MIPS in my pocket: hell yeah. The crazy thing is, SGI did have internal research projects to do such things .. they had engineers working on porting Netscape to the N64, which could very well have serv

Tooling for the RPI PIO design is probably a bit more accessible than the TI PRU situation. I'd say its not really a miss - more of a necessity given bennies' proclivity towards open/available tools. Getting access to archi

I was a young systems programmer in this decade, which were some of the most virulent of my life, and I had a lot of projects on Irix, particularly in Mountain View, necessitating my weekly flight from Burbank to San Jose for 3 days on site

As someone with a room full of SGI equipment which already runs Quake (and Doom, and Mektar and Tranquility), I can only say: this port to Voodoo on Irix needs to be done . ;)

Yes indeed, but honestly I've felt that its been the case for decades even before the Internet ..

Right, so tty's go stale prior to the freeze and they must be renewed after the freeze .. seems to me there's a missing system heuristic here.

Nice. Now I want the ability to freeze the VM cryogenically and move it to another machine automagically, defrosting and running as seamlessly as possible. I know this is gonna happen soon enough, I've been waiting since the death of T
