That's a bad thing. At least when you are reading Washington Posts online article about the russian hack of the US power grid it says: "Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had pen

Sadly, Microsoft used these dirty trick that Windows 3.1 would autofail if detect any OS that isn't MS-DOS. That code, while present in the codebase, was deactivated in the release version of Windows 3.1, so it actually ran just fine

There absolutely was TCP/IP support in Windows 95 from the very beginning. It was not installed by default but it was trivial to add via the Network applet in Control Panel. SLIP/PPP was also supported and you had basic utilities

Scandinavian languages do not really have accented letters, though. What we have in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian are three more letters than the English alphabet, with distinct sound and meaning, that happen to look a bit like accented A&

Sounds like this web developer's computer may have been one of the infamous Performa/Power Macintosh x200 series[1]. These are ridiculously designed machines. Choice quote from http://lowendmac.com/1997/perf

I'm running a Phenom II X4 965 and I have yet to feel limited by CPU speed. Really snappy for everything I do. This is a 2009 CPU. To put that in perspective, that is like using a 486 DX4/100 in 2002, when the state of the art w

If they are actually making copies of my documents, can anyone explain how Microsoft is not in blatant violation of the copyright laws of pretty much every country? They are actually potentially making unlawful copies of my copyrighted work

The problem here is (at least) twofold: 1) this is almost certainly a partially arbitrary limitation, since Kaby Lake is architecturally identical to Skylake, yet one is supposedly supported and the other not, and 2) AMD Ryzen hardware has

Probably not. If you're affected by this, most likely you know what you're doing and are by conscious choice running Windows 7 on a new computer -- and if you're willing to jump through all the hoops that entails just to av

The vendor does write them, at least in some instances. Gigabyte has explicitely announced support for Windows 7 on their new AMD Ryzen boards. Reference: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-5-rev-10..

And Windows 7 is as old as Ubuntu 9.04. It's about as obsolete as it gets. It's time to let it go, man. Problem is, there's still no reasonable alternative if you need to run Windows software. Windows 7 is the last stand o

That's ok. However a lossless version allows you to switch formats in the future, create lossless and lossy copies. Building a library with lossy audio is a choice you might regret at some point. The vast majority of my library is ac

This isn't exactly Spotify's fault. There are a lot of good remasters. It depends. Point is, it doesn't let me choose. It arbitrarily selects one version of an album which is not necessarily the one I want. Great. However

Seconded. I have an MP3 library of about 1000 ripped CD's, and also I occasionally buy MP3's on Bandcamp. A lot of this music is obscure and not available on any streaming service, and when it is, often it's a remastered&#x2F

Of course, none of this ever materialized, because for some reason, the knock-off manufacturers are still just making consoles that are chip-compatible with NES games, rather than speccing out builds based on what chips have become equally

At one point you visit Hyrule Castle and there are allusions to Ocarina of Time. I don't really remember the details but it is made clear in-game that player Link is one in a series of Links.

The OP was trying to generalize and make conclusions about culture, politics and economy based on geography -- coast vs interior -- of regions of a larger whole. But the USSR was not a nation or a homogenous union and Estonia (for instance)

So different indeed that the comparison is meaningless. That is my point. If you're going to draw conclusions from comparisons -- like the OP did with his coast/interior thing -- the things you're comparing have to be at leas

Nope, this is binary compatibility. The apps you see in the screenshot are binaries straight from Windows 1 install media. Literally every 16- or 32-bit version of Windows from 1 to 8 will run Windows 1 apps. I'm sorry if I was unclear
