Funny thing is that said HP still exist. What people are complaining about is the bottom of the barrel consumer products hawked out of very storefront the world over. I have seen similar sentiments aimed towards Acer, yet i have seen Acer b

This got me looking into something, and sure enough they have looked into doing something similar at Andøya in Norway.

Following some links around i get the impression that this is using laser sintering.

Frankly SPAs should be served up via a whole different channel, they are effectively an abuse of web tech to NIHing the likes of VNC.

In this instance he may simply have filed for the wrong kind of visa. All in all i have come to wonder if thelocal have some kind of agenda. It seems to be willfully ignorant of laws and customs of the nations it reports on.

That is refreshed every couple years via collective bargaining between companies and unions, with a government representative sitting in as referee.

Yeah the Hz race is long dead. These days it is all about avoiding cache misses. Perhaps why Intel got egg on their face with Meltdown, as that seems to have all to do with avoiding said misses.

That micro port may only be for power. Or perhaps a client port to allow a PC to talk to the board without a network connection.

Never mind that said RPi have multiple USB and video ports to go along with ethernet (and on later models, wifi). Also availability, availability, availability. The RPi can be bought from a multitude of places across the globe. All that sai

Yep, i recall trying to get a game demo going that required Win32s and WinG installed. Ended up taking up so much of the old HDD that i barely could get the game going, and it crawled.

One thing i liked about Win9x was that i could move the C drive between motherboards and things would boot just fine. These days if it does not balk about missing drivers it will be some kind of DRM check that fails. BTW, i could have sworn

I removed them from same recently because I felt I could no longer relate to the jokes, or some such.

I am reminded of a webcomic, that i fail to locate at this moment, that reminded me of the practice of placing something next to a progress bar, like say during a Windows 95 install, to check if anything is actually happening.

Supposedly KIO is what OLE was supposed to be. Never seen it taken beyond KDE though. Then again, KDE had/has many things that nobody seems interested in replicating. like how Konqueror could be divided much like a tiled WM, with each

Seems very similar to why Challenger blew up as well. Engineers felt unease about launching in such cold weather, but management rammed approval through.

I dunno. WSL seems to be more about the success of the Linux kernel API than any philosophy.

Never mind that most sensible streaming formats will include data in packets that allows the receiver to rebuild missing packets (up to a threshold).

Yeah i think we are heavily underestimating how quickly nature can retake cultivated land.

Been my building worry as i have watched the ongoing changes is the Linux ecosystem in recent years. It feels like thereis a echo chamber happening, where a small group of peope working for maybe 2-3 companies have decided that their vision

Never mind having a candidate run on gender issues while being backed by the monied interest that ran the world economy aground...

Quite interesting. Many of the topics that Curtis mentions has shown up in his previous documentaries. Like that about Ayn Rand individualism, the mechanistic view of the world, or the fear of grand ideas.

And very pushy about having me open an account with them just because i want to buy something. It has reached the point that i think twice about doing business if the store only offer Paypal.

I wonder if this is an effect of print media getting involved with the web, thus trying to adopt various "guidelines" from printed documents to web sites.
