   Ah the Mariner debacle.

   Indeed, one of the first 386 OSes was Xenix. In retrospect, I really wished that DRI added GEM and native 32-bit application support into Concurrent DOS 386. GEM would probably be built into the kernel, with virtual 8086 mode used to run l

   As a side note, I wrote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II#Memory_limit after I realized how misleading the Apple documentation about this was, causing much confusion.

   I think at this point they are mostly targeting servers and not bothering with things like web browsers.

   Ethereum has a difficulty bomb which means that difficulty may not decline as much as you think.

   But thinking about it, the US economy is based on credit and VC is another form of credit, right?

   First thing I found out about x86inc.asm is that they put vzeroupper after the register pops in the epilog, which I am not sure is legal on Windows x64.

   I wonder about using HMAC with a secret key that can be changed for things like this.

    This makes me think about lending books during power outages.

    OEMs will probably still ship systems without ECC too. Does not mean it should not be an option. I wonder as a side note on Bristol Ridge for example, for 8GB of RAM would you rather take dual channel or ECC? (the fun thing is that 4Gbit DD

    "With the double DRAM supported parts, the 30% premium seems rather high. We were told from Intel that ‘only 0.5% of the market actually uses those quad ranked and LR DRAMs’, although that more answers the fact that the base support is

    In this case, the server room location is Allen, Texas, likely paying commercial rates.

    I am thinking of Monero and CryptoNight not Ethereum for FPGAs for that reason. I am thinking of ideally something like Virtex-7 or Vertex-8 with 32Mbit or more of memory.

    Thinking about it, I wonder how much QDR SRAM bandwidth compare with GDDR5. This would be useful for Monero for example. Nobody is going to care about spending a few hundred for FPGAs with large amount of memory if a 5x-10x boost over GPUs

    I think commercial rates are generally lower than residential rates, right?

    What is fun is the Litecoin one, and the fact there are ASICs with crappy power efficiency like the GAWMiners Fury and any other miners using the Zeusminers chips.

    More precisely, I believe the kernel tracks what threads are "GUI" threads that use win32k.

    I wonder if this is the same lock most win32k call takes.

    I can't imagine that moving the Win32k stuff back to CSRSS would help much in this case, right? Though it is still a good thing especially for terminal servers where hopefully one CSRSS process crashing just terminate the session.
