Windows 3.1 Glitch Causes Problems At French Airport -- Wait, 3.1? (vice.com)
OakDragon writes: Microsoft has tamped down the earth on XP's grave, steered Internet Explorer toward the nursing home, and is trying to convince everyone Windows 10 is a bright up-and-comer. But in the Paris airport of Orly, a system called DECOR — which helps air traffic controllers relay weather information to pilots — is running on Windows 3.1. That program suffered a glitch recently that grounded planes for some time. The airport actually runs on a variety of old systems, including Windows XP and UNIX. Maintenance is a problem. There are only three people in Paris that work on DECOR issues, and one of them is retiring soon. Hardware is also an issue. "Sometimes we have to go rummaging on eBay to replace certain parts," said Fiacre. "In any case, these machines were not designed to keep working for more than 20 years."
Wouldn't virtualization be a viable option here?

Unix isn't necessarily old, grasshopper.
Possibly for the physical machines needing parts from eBay issue. I think their real problem is still needing to run on Windows 3.1, and once you address that (hopefully moving to something much more modern) you can solve the legacy machine part as well.
This is why mainframe software lives on and on. It won't go out of fashion because it never was in fashion (except in the mid 60's) and there is so much mainframe code floating around that something or someone will always support it.
Table-ized A.I.
When I worked at the college bookstore warehouse in the early 1990's, we had an ancient IBM XT computer with dual 5.25" drives, an amber monitor and a dot matrix printer for printing shipping labels. It did that one job exceptionally well. I wouldn't be surprised if it still working there today.
Even if it is an old system, everyone knows you can easily fix things in UNIX by just clicking around the 3D interface for the right file which, when opened, will magically restore everything.

You're both wrong. The reason why these machines weren't virtualized a while ago is that you have to make a lot of serial/parallel/ps2 conversions for ports that are truly physical. These are the types of programs that send specific voltage down the wires and expect exactly something specific in return. Lots of times you try to get those returns right and you simply can't anticipate the various bugs that amazingly show up just a few months after you convert. The real problem? Some are nearly unsolveable. You can't even figure out what the manufacturer/programmer was trying to achieve with their hardware interface so it's best to simply leave eveything as is. Half these people don't even work in computers anymore, let alone the vendor they were at in the 80's.
This coming from a guy who espouses VMs every day on a variety of systems.

I could get those apps running on Windows 7 x86 no problem.
Not that is a solution, but its certainly better than what they have.
Fucking hell, I'd much rather run a mission-critical system on Windows 3.1 than Windows 10. Complexity means more potential points of failure. Windows 10 is doing so much stuff all the time that it makes a horrendous option for a machine that's chugging along doing one thing predictably and reliably. As long as it's isolated from the wild, once something works, one leaves a system the fuck alone.
If employment is an issue, employ more people. If hardware is an issue, virtualise on the most stable, simple possible hypervisor.
I think its clear that money is not being spent correctly in many countries and this goes from federal level all the way down to city. Cannot afford roads, bridges, and roads becoming toll roads to compensate. Cities, counties cannot buy equipment police cars, because no funds available. The FAA here in the US takes a decade or more to upgrade radar facilities only to realize by the time they finish the system will be outdated already. But now in terms of a Windows 3.1running a dedicated system. Other then hardware compatibility problems and finding parts. Is a older OS like 3.1 any worse in a dedicated operation then anything else?
In my travels I am not surprised by how much old technology is being used and yet it seems to work just fine. The trouble with technology is that it becomes outdated very quickly, more so then other things. That leaves governments spending a lot of money to revitalize or replace a older system. As this problem gets worse it will be interesting to see how countries manage to address these problems with an ever growing money problem.
Viva la Windows
There are plenty of data loggers that convert voltage to a nominal value. Agileaire makes a few for airmon pollution insturments so this can be done. They need to appoint an outside party that is not selg intrested in keeping the system stagnant .
Shoulda used TRS80 and arcnet.
In UKRANE, I have LASIK in 2014. Laser was controlled by computer run WINDOWS 3. Still work fine.
We do third party support for out of warranty shit, The fun one over here (for us anyways) is MPE, Factories still run on this stuff, everyone who supports it is dying, it's hard to train new people to deal with the old way of doing things. But there is always a need somewhere. I don't see why Microsoft doesn't spend their resources for SAS for updates on antiquated software. They could probably hold their company indefinitely just running windows XP,7 or 8. The corporate licensing could compensate for security updates on the consumer side. In the early days upgrading all the time made sense. But how many different ways do you need to edit a document, or use Excel. These things are at a point. Windows is a stable operating system. Why should companies keep shelling out for new hardware, when for most people (not designers, or other power users) a core 2 duo is more than enough power. As to virutalizing, Not likely, and more importantly, not free. Windows 3.1 is 16 bit. If you didn't need access to any hardware (old network cards or specialty cards of any kind) there would be a shot. But this is pre HAL, it relies on BIOS for control of it's hardware. Also, even if you could virtualize, you would need to know the coders to fix all the bugs from the switch over. How do you do that in a live system that was pre-virtualization without making downtime. Downtime that isn't really available for an airport. Lastly, they have a system that "works" they would have to pay the capital investment to switch. (I know they should but hey they are French)
My favorite I've encountered about ATC systems is how the documentation lies. For example, how checksums are to be computed computed for a particular broad class of messages. The ARINC specs go into detail, with diagrams and everything about the computation process. But when you look at existing samples of code, they don't do this - they do this weird thing with a lookup table and uncalled-for bitshifts and the like. After spending a day or so studying the code, I finally figured out what they were trying to do - they were trying to "optimize" the algorithm in the specs. But in the process they made it deviate from what is actually supposed to be computed in about four different ways (plus, their "optimizations" don't actually save compute time, the simple math operations are faster than the lookup in the "precompute" table that they made).
So what do we do when we need to compute and check checksums? We use the wrong code, of course! It's what's "out in the wild", so who cares what the specs say we're supposed to use, it's what we have to use if we want checksums to ever to come up valid. Hopefully they'll eventually update the specs to reflect the reality.

“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
Primarily because I'm betting the interface from that Windows 3.1 machine has some very specific DOS "driver" (TSR for us old-timers) that even Windows 95 would kill.
There were some very interesting hacks that could be done on a DOS box. I remember writing a TSR that bumped up the system timer to allow a finer grain on the timer events. It also sent out the "normal" system event to the rest of the OS so Windows would keep running.
you have to make a lot of serial/parallel/ps2 conversions for ports that are truly physical.
I got a drawer full of adapters if you need any... Parallel, serial switches, you name it.

Windows 3.1? O RLY?
I remember trying ti buy a train ticket at the Charles de Gaulle airport station after flying in, in 2005. The queues were horrendous, and then one of ticket machines crashed, and all the people in queue swore and walked away. Except for me, since I recognised that the machine was running OS/2 Warp. By having the patience to wait a couple of minutes for it to reboot, I effectively jumped the queue. It took only three tries to get the machine to accept my credit card ... I hope their systems are a bit better today.

TFA doesn't say. The software (including Win 3.1) may still be doing just what it always did correctly, which might explain why it hasn't been replaced.
GNU == GNU is not Unix. That's why almost nobody refers to GNU/Linux as Unix. We usually say Linux.
By the way, *BSD is not GNU, MacOS is not GNU, HPUX is not GNU, Solaris is not GNU, but all of them are Unixes.
Now, GTFO to the cave you came from!
Considering I still use a TRS-80 Model 100 on a regular basis (great keyboard!), Systems using Windows 3.1 do not surprise me.
Then again, I work for a bank, login to a mainframe and review COBOL code that dates back into 1980... So, yeah. I'm not surprised.

32 bit disk access and 32 bit file access does not work that well in VM.
also this likely needs real serial parallel ports maybe even custom PCI / ISA cards. Can you do ISA pass though in VM? Will even a PCIe to ISA Bridge work with the cards out side of a VM?
Very true I'm sure. But I also believe in "where there's a will, there's a way"
I've been in these kinds of discussions. The Cost to figure out or build such a gap-device is too-large, or equal to "just rewrite it in modern tech." So everyone waits for another 10 years while the rewrite doesn't happen. Rather than picking it apart and refactoring a bit here and there - wait for the big bang!!
Another problem area is clocks. You can bet air traffic control software is going to care a lot about clock behavior. Clocks in VMs don't behave the same as they do when running on hardware. Native x86 hardware is already plagued with collection of badly designed clocks and adding the VM layer just makes that worse.
Every organization of any appreciable size has a room where they keep systems that were never upgraded and that hold data that has never been migrated to newer systems, but which they might need someday. Often, it's simply a matter of CYA, that no one wants to be the one who eliminated "System X".

Oooo, they have to rummage on eBay! If they can still get replacement parts on eBay then hardware is not an issue yet.
Wait until they find themselves with a dedicated hardware maintenance team that breaks out soldering irons and welding torches to fix some HW using the broken remnants of beyond-hope HW because there is nowhere else in the world to get replacement parts.
Demand support nearly forever. When steam was replaced here in the mid 50s to late 60s, the average age of the replaced engines were around 50 years. The replacement engines are still in operation. The main reason is safety. When designing a new locomotive, the manufactor spend a fortune verifying the performance, which is then added to the price (naturally). On delivery of the first of its kind, it goes through a whole lot of testing and documentation to ensure that it's not too heavy for the track, works with the signal system and all that stuff. It takes time and cost millions. It's a lot cheaper once the type is certified, but they are still tested with non-free tests. This makes buying a used already certified engine quite attractive and as a result, spare parts are produced for many decades after production stopped. It's a demand from the railroads and supplying those parts makes manufactors trustworthy enough to be candidates for new engines expected to be used for at least 30 years, likely more than that.
Computers are way too short lived. Powerplants/grid, railroad signals, air traffic control and so on are hard to replace systems and once they have something working, they want to stick to their systems as long as possible. They make horrible contracts since they are unable to get the spare parts they need. The US army invented VHDL to give a description of the work of a chip and you would not be able to sell to the army without VHDL code. The idea is that if the army needs a replacement chip 20 years later and the original company went out of business, they can send the VHDL code to another company and say "make this chip using housing XYZ". That will ensure they don't have to scrap helicopters or whatever because a single chip went out of production. Civilians should be equally demanding for critical systems.

Is it really that common for the software to need such specific voltages and timing? How would you get to those values from software running on a PC?
I ask because I just got done implementing some very old vending hardware (some 1200 baud, some 9600 baud serial) and although they were ancient and badly documented, none really needed anything I'd call exotic.
I think we need *more* APK spam. As it is, there's a lot of it and it's a big nuisance, but no one's doing anything to fix the problem.
We need to have so much APK spam that the site becomes completely unusable. That's the only way the idiotic management around here is finally going to step up and do something about the problem.
A lot of times, you have to completely burn something down before you can rebuild something better.
"Maintenance is a problem."
No shit. Really?
I'm guessing the business justification to replace these systems has read about as benign as this understatement for decades now.
Let's hope for the city of Paris learns a lesson here when one of the three people supporting this system agrees to fix it at the rate of $500,000/hr. (2 hour minimum of course).

Is there a compelling reason that Windows of any version is needed here? Looks like the underpinnings here are DOS. So if they get computers that have just 1MB of RAM, fired up w/ FreeDOS, that should work well and run all the apps in question, right? In fact, it would be not just possible, but actually feasible, to have a single chip computer - say a 486 at 1GHz w/ 1MB of RAM and 1GB of SSD that would be a much faster computer for the same software. Since it's FreeDOS, one needn't depend on Microsoft for anything - just get an IT team to manage it.

Look I understand the desire to spare, but there are a heap of vendor which propose this exact service (I work for one !) and i doubt it is connected to anything for which tehre would not be an interface we handle already (from MATIP to other weird protocol), even going to change format for you, all on modern cheap hardware. having anything that run 3.1 when it should be easily to get for cheap such a service.... So if there is no incredibly rare hardware unknown protocol reason, then it is cheer stupidity.

One problem is when you get to the specs written by companies that use the same protocols. On the civil GPS unit I had to communicate with, the specification on the CRC protocol left out half of what you needed to know. So we just used a CRC table for another application that produced results that the GPS unit accepted. Of course the original CRC code was about a decade old but... yay?

You're both wrong. The reason why these machines weren't virtualized a while ago is that you have to make a lot of serial/parallel/ps2 conversions for ports that are truly physical. These are the types of programs that send specific voltage down the wires and expect exactly something specific in return.
Ironically, you just named three ports where that's either not the case, or trivial to achieve. All PC keyboard ports are digital 5V, there are only two kinds of signaling, and nobody was using the old kind by the time Windows 3.1 came out. All PC parallel ports are digital 5V. And by definition, RS-232 is 12V, although many if not most ports will accept a 5V signal. (If you hook up any outgoing lines, though, you may well murder any 5V serial devices you hook up, if they don't have a real MAX232 in them.)
The real problem is that a lot of these PCs have ISA-bus interface cards in them, and their drivers are often crap that is pissy about timings. Even a really high-speed PC is enough to make them not work. In order to reasonably replace these devices, you have to analyze the circuit and/or connection to figure out what the original control board was doing, throw it away, and replace it with something else. These days you might reasonably replace it with any little microcontroller board, like an Arduino. They are faster than early PCs were! But first you have to figure out how. Those boards also often included a specialty power supply to drive whatever-it-was, so you've got to replace that as well.
Most of the time it's going to make more sense to throw it all away and start with a new thing. But it's not impossible, just expensive.

I have a feeling they only have one set of hardware. You can't just plug in the 2nd set of sensor wires and ensure they work with protocol converters or reverse engineer them. Even if there is a 2nd system, it's probably a backup that always needs to be ready.
I'm sure modern airports have newer equipment and there are probably specialized companies that can come in and install newer hardware and get it up and running side by side the old stuff so you can then take the old stuff down (or turn it into a backup), but that stuff doesn't come cheap. For smaller cities, they probably just don't want to spend the money on the airport.

You do realize that there are around 10 people who mention your crap in their signatures right?
Perhaps you should read Slashdot sometime with an accoutn logged in. You already stated previously that you created an account (I think it was AlecStar) for the Carmack interview I beleive, just use it and see what we all say "behind your back" (because you not logging in is somehow our fault).

What crack are you smoking? Here is his comment, in full, including his (current) signature. Where does he say a DAMN thing about AD?
An interesting note... In an earlier thread, I saw that APK quoted your signature. I do believe that signatures are not visible unless the user is logged in. APK has stated, numerous times, that they have no account. I'm unsure of what to make of it but I did find it amusing though I probably should have commented in that thread. Alas, I'm too lazy... Well, technically, it didn't cross my mind.
As stated, I have no idea what to make of it. I just noticed the comment that quoted your signature. Personally, I don't mind 'em but that's just me. I'm pretty easy to get along with, most of the time. ;-)

Not an OS issue.

I ran into a client several years ago (2007?) who bought anything 486 we had in the parts bins. He owned a five million dollar lumber mill. The whole thing ran off a 486 running custom software as some sort of PLC controller. The original developer had gone senile. Newer computers wouldn't work because it was doing some tricks with the timing clocks of the 486 to time exactly when to turn stuff off and on. Replacement was simply not an option - there are miles of cable, some running through cast concrete floors, all over the mill controlling different sensors and actuators (and sawblades), and no documentation. Shutting production down long enough to safely map all the functions and create a replacement would have been an enormous expense. He hoped to have enough spare parts on hand that he could get to retirement, then sell it to someone gullible enough not to questions about the controller software.
Someone could probably fix it, but the certification would be painful. Massive amounts of testing required for safety critical systems. The same problem affects things like fire alarm/smoke extraction systems. It's cheaper to pay silly money for parts to keep the old one going.

I do this all the day, typically with card access servers that nobody ever bothers to replace. You have two options, if your hypervisor has the ports you need then you just pass the port to the VM and away you go.
Otherwise you could use serial to ethernet adapters which still present to the OS in much the same way. If you absolutely must run Windows 3.1 then you can connect your hypervisor to the serial server and present to the VM like in the first option. This is pretty darned reliable in modern versions of VMWare.
You have a point in that some hardware and software definitely performs out of spec and in those situations you are left without options. I see this in the semiconductor industry a lot actually, they spend a few million on a microscope that comes with either a Mac running OS 7 if you're lucky or Windows 3.1. You can't upgrade due to proprietary hardware and software including dongles. People are unwilling to spec a few million more in a new microscope with newer console hardware when the current one still gets the job done.
I support a 486 machine that is running Windows ME. The machine uploads 3 audio streams to a cloud streaming server. The machine has been on for over 8 YEARS. We don't have any anti-virus or malware protection. We rarely reboot, mostly after a power failure that outlasts the UPS. Can't see a reason to upgrade... The old 500 MB Seagate hard drive just keeps turning. (I do have a spare, if I ever need it.)

also there are quite a few ram pool / address space limits with the old software / hardware. Also they may freak out with trying to pass a non 486 / 386 / 586 / Pentium cpu.

Back around the turn of the century, I worked for air traffic control here in the UK. They were still using a version of DOS as the backbone for some of the comms stuff to aircraft - the reason being simple - it was stable, tried and tested, strengths and weaknesses were known - and didn't do annoying things like locking up and randomly rebooting.
And the programming of things running on DOS was simple.
There is method to the madness of these really old systems still being in place.

I hate to think of anything mission critical running in Windows (any version)!!! I worked for 4 years as a slot tech at a casino. The gaming machines have all been computer-based for years. The ones we had the most trouble with were running (probably customized) versions of Windows. These machines always had to be rebooted multiple times each day. They usually got replaced within a month. The gaming machines running Linux (the vast majority) seldom if ever needed a reboot, or had any problems.
See subject: You kept up your signature crap & the rest of what I posted - who the HELL are you trying to fool but yourself?
So you're just getting what you dish out in return and YOU CLEARLY CAN'T TAKE IT (whose agenda does my work adversely affect? Who do you work for IF YOU WORK & I don't think you do with 50++ posts a day etc.)

> Even a really high-speed PC is enough to make them not work.
To the contrary. The zionists spent a few dozen million US dollars (as in american taxpayer dollars) to develop the extremely complicated and advanced Stuxnet computer sabotage worm to hurt Iran's uranium enrichment centrifuges. Except Iran was running S7 SCADA controls on ancient Pentium 200MHz WinNT4 and 2000 computers, which booted so slowly that the worm's rootkit driver timed out on load and produced a BSOD. That glitch tipped off the belorussian company VirusBlokAda to find out about the military malware and then Kaspersky Lab took over the bulk of investigation.
I've done that too. Unfortunately, modern hardware runs DOS much too fast in the VM, just like on the real hardware. Timing loops in olde software aren't designed for that - they counts cycles instead of clock ticks, and with modern stuff can get confused or divide by zero. Or just run through 5 years of the sim in a blink of an eye when you needed to stop and do some input along the line. DOSBox lets you tweak things until they run like they did ON THE OLD (x)MHz PROCESSOR not the shiny new (y)GHz one.
Of course the original CRC code was about a decade old but... yay?
Who cares? Does the age of the code affect the correctness of it's output?
If the function hasn't changed why would the code need to change?
... the most hilarious and saddest news out of France at the same time.
RS-232 is 12V
No, RS-232 is +/- 3-15V, and requires a withstand voltage on both transmitters and receivers of a short in the range of +/- 25V though it wouldn't surprise me that many a modern "RS-232" ports or adaptors fry at below 25V.
It's impossible to predict how a conforming RS-232 interface would respond to a 0-5V signal as the range between 3 and -3V is undefined.
These days you might reasonably replace it with any little microcontroller board, like an Arduino. They are faster than early PCs were!
Arguably. You can get 32MHz ATMEGAs, but they don't have as much RAM as an early PC, nor do they have megabytes of persistent storage (though you can talk to an SD card over MMC protocol with the SPI interface). They're also 8-bit so can be much slower on certain arithmetic tasks than a 16-bit PC. Of course if you're talking about the ARM based Arduinos then yea.
Most of the time it's going to make more sense to throw it all away and start with a new thing. But it's not impossible, just expensive.
Most of the time, if you've got a guy who knows vintage PCs and the software that's running on it, it makes more sense to just go on eBay and buy replacement parts. Which is what they did in this instance. Stop assuming you know more about jobs than the people who are actually doing them.

I don't keep a server. You're a security guru (not - you create no ware for security & your forensics skills = non-existent): Put it in a VM, trace it using process monitor + wireshark to prove it (don't need code) & I only put in hardcodes of fav sites @ top of hosts for speed & reliabilty - you'd spot it easily & bulk of the file is sorted blocked known bad threat origins.

It's not limited to rs232 either. I did a bunch of work with parallel port interfaces back in the day (hardware control - including a radio telescope at one point :) and there were multiple variants. Some allowed io on all pins, some on a subset, and the control signals vary slightly from board to board. You very much designed for the computer you had if you were trying to do anything a bit different.
Actually that work was a lot of fun. Working close to the hardware level in c and assembler, no os or security crud blocking you at every turn, make up standard as you went, got to dabble in hardware, and the only requirement was that the end result did the job requested. Good times.

You PROVE I AM FOR ME part #1-#4 of your "Greatest Hits Fails"... apk
One word: Dosbox.
If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker would destroy civilization.
I have found and reported a few bugs blocking some Win16 applications to run under Wine. It is ofcourse more difficult for developers to adress those issues nowadays, but on the other hand is the OS much smaller than the current versions so a 100% re-implementation should be possible. I think it would be great if some more effort would be put into the Win16 compatibility of Wine. At work, we had some fully working machines where the controlling software was built for Win16, and when the machines had to be replaced by Win95/98/XP machines it all became completely unreliable (crashes claiming "not enough memory"). It is sad when very expensive and fully functional machinery (in this case a CytoFluor 4000) gets unusable because of something stupid like that.
I'm not your bub, comrade.
Same thing with checksums on various mag stripe cards, which I wrote software for in the 1980s. There was the Luhn algorithm, and then the other Luhn algorithm, and then the other other Luhn algorithm, and the alternate Luhn algorithm, and the not-quite-right Luhn algorithm, and the Luhn variant, and the other Luhn variant, and holy fsck how many ways can you screw up one checksum?
(plus, their "optimizations" don't actually save compute time, the simple math operations are faster than the lookup in the "precompute" table that they made).
That may be the case now. Was it the same back when they wrote the spec? There are several CPU instructions that now use a lookup table internally ( to compute sin and cos for example) and other instructions that may not have existed back then or had a slow implementation.
I'm not your compadre, amigo
ARCNET (note caps) is actually pretty good, and still used in applications that require deterministic network response, (like industrial control applications).
It was far superior to Ethernet back in the day, but was "closed" so was slowly hammered into oblivion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Depending on when that code was written, it's possible that the machine's ALU was slower than doing a fetch from cache or even memory, so the ganky lookup table may have been faster then. Maybe.
I'm not you're amigo, sidekick.
But the TRS-80 Model II ARCnet board was indeed a piece of work. Grep the comp.sys.tandy archives on google groups for ARCnet one day.
Well actually it may also have to do with how many fatal plane crashes the french aviation department considers acceptable before all the upgrade related bugs get worked out. Never mind retraining the flight controllers to a new system and the downtime needed to install it.. time most airports simply do not have. The passenger crash losses are top of the list though.. and ust what could possibly account as "acceptable" losses ? (!)
So this article is saying that 3.1 is more stable than any other Microsoft operating system? I mean: I can't keep any modern Windows system on for more than 3 days before it lags and crashes...
Some trolls are amusing, some trolls are annoying, but APK is one of the worst I have seen in a long time.. Definite psychosis in the writing style and demeanour. Repetition and denial of logic, plus bizarre absolute beliefs. False belief systems driven by paranoia. Sad to say it but APK seriously needs the help of mental health professionals.
Below the speed of light Special Relativity is one of the most accurate theories in physics - above the speed of light..
What about OS/2 for a temporary solution? It can run many of the apps that Windows 3.1 could and thanks to derivatives that are still actively developed like eComStation it can run on more hardware than in the past which would help give them time to port it over to something else.
I'm not saying to just abandon their old system right away since they can't just drop it and move away from it overnight they have to eventually do something about hardware support because eventually supported hardware for old systems goes away and they're already using eBay. Given OS/2's reputation for running Windows programs from back then, it may at least open up some options while they work on replacing the old system and if they had to make some updates to it, it may be a little more cost effective to jump to a platform that's known to run those apps that still has a company backing it up.
Ultimately they are going to need to abandon their old system, however in the meantime they have to do something about the hardware and this looks like something that can't be virtualized.
Let's leave Family Ties out of this.
No, RS-232 is +/- 3-15V
In actual fact, you can't use -3/+3 signaling on RS-232, either, and in practice all PCs implemented +/-12V serial ports.
and requires a withstand voltage on both transmitters and receivers of a short in the range of +/- 25V though it wouldn't surprise me that many a modern "RS-232" ports or adaptors fry at below 25V.
I mean that there's a lot of TTL serial stuff (or even 3.3v) and if you pretend it's RS-232 you'll kill it when you hook it up to a PC, which has a +/-12V serial port.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Can't believe I was first to this word play..
Because improvement in processing capability and storage capability in the past decade mean that using coding tricks to conserve both is no longer necessary.

"introduces risk you are relying on a 3rd party to update a hosts file potentially opening you up to MITM attacks" - by Coren22 (1625475) on Tuesday November 17, 2015
How? My prog puts entries in as non-blocking to hostnames on ones users give it as favs to speed up @ TOP of hosts REVERSE DNS VERIFIED!
(For more speed, & reliability + security - in RAM as 1st resolver queried = faster & more secure vs. remote DNS w/ all its security issues in Kaminsky flaw, DNSChanger malware IP stack settings, routers bushwhacked in DNS settings, rogue DNS, Open DNS servers abused by malware. It aids in reliability vs. redirects).
YOU'D SPOT IT INSTANTLY @ TOP OF CUSTOM HOSTS & can easily edit anything you want out!
(Rest = known bad sites from 10 reputable security community sites for blocking - the MAJORITY of what's in my hosts files!)
+ my sources do removal lists vs. false positives & helped me create a "FP" filter in my program (5,500++ of them)!
