No doubt. I guess I object to people passing off the monsters under their bed as some sort of universal truth.

For everyone the "30" comes at a different age bracket...it's fine to have noticed, but ultimately...does it matter? Socialization is not the end goal of our existence. There is no value to try too hard to make new connection

I am pretty sure that visiting Crimea would have been a safer option to visiting Kiev. Many, many Ukrainian citizens continue to visit the peninsula even today.

This is pretty cool. It's a smaller target than ReactOS to grok and understand. For example, I keep thinking about how I could run Microsoft's PowerPC C compiler (targetting NT on PreP), and nothing good comes to mind (32-bit Wine

The board-level (chipset) thing hasn't been true since "true" LE support was introduced. So Power8 machines can switch arbitrarily between endianness by changing MSR.LE. In fact, you could even run exception vectors at a diff

Thanks for the tip. The issue at hand is that as a developer, the box (and loud small fans) is just an inconvenience.

Uh oh, IBM suit down voting me. Must have touched a sore spot... Hey buddy, it's not my fault your executives in charge of curating the Power ecosystem are so freaking clueless. I suppose it's a miracle they spelled OpenBSD withou

I hear K-mart has a discount on tinfoil... I mean the only thing more ridiculous than the hysteria around this election is the helplessness with which a foreign entity is actually accused of supposedly leaking emails from government officia

Oh man. I'm such a Power fanboy...and this sort of response is just so cringeworthy that I really hope someone else starts making Power ISA 3.0 chips. I mean, hello? Director of Ecosystem and Alliances really needs an explanation of wh

It gets better than this. Because regardless of the source, the contents of these emails is something the american public should be a lot more alarmed about. Anyway, the sheer fact that a phishing attempt at a personal email accout yielded

IBM didn't quit making servers - it just stepped out of the x86 server market. That's a big difference.

Automation? Oh is that how you see Foxconn employees? That would explain quite a bit... Most of light and heavy manufacturing is done somewhere else. Electronics. Housewares. Clothing. Tools. Equipment. Cars. Materials, both raw and those u

This is why I don't want to raise my kids at all in the US. The system at large is doing everything for them to grow into incompetent imbeciles...the kind that live in their parents' basement until they are 40 and are too scared o

On a related note, I've tried fleshing out the AArch32 port a bit, and made a craptastic AArch64 port as well :-)). https://github.com/andreiw/pijFORTHos

I remember it well. I was a heavy KDE user through most of the aughts until I got an iBook. It was awesome. Very tweakable. Thoughtful apps, if a little instable in a few places. It's still bewilders me how KDE turned into... this Plas

Sounds interesting. I wonder how much you can simply thunk your stub 16-bit DLLs to Win32 inplementations, so please, keep sharing. Similar approach might be a way out for running Alpha/MIPS/PowerPC NT 4.0 binaries.

Almost always no. What you have today is a fairly incremental process that also guarantees the changes being made are well-localized, and thus can be reviewed to ensure that overall business logic is not affected. The other issue is that mo

This is fantastic. I think ReactOS is one of the most amazing projects ever. Windows NT has a pretty interesting design, which is absolutely worth preserving both for historical purposes and as scaffolding for future OS work, and with this

It may sound a bit brash, but ultimately this is navel gazing. I accept your desire to take yourself out of the gene pool (yet don't really understand it), but this pseudo-scientific and pseudo-moralistic nonsense must be some form of

I want to see the folks that don't want sick leave or that like being forced back to work weeks after delivery. Or are you saying there are areas of the US favored by those entertaining BDSM in all facets of their life? Or maybe where

Nevermind that the argument you seem to be making is that the US is so diverse that the population at large would not agree to having a choice of a paid leave for a year or so. You really think men and women wouldn't want that choice o

Russia, a country that's only a 1/6th of the Earth's surface, and likely even more sparsely populated than the US, has a 3 year maternity leave. Guess what happens if you give birth again in those 3 years? That's right..

by andreiw 10y ago
Russia is no more of a "corrupt shitty regime" than your own. So maybe, just maybe, you should focus on constructive criticism of your own country instead of offending others, hmmm? After more than 60 years of anti-Russian propaga
