every software upgrade is a gamble, Windows NT being the prime example. Not specifically picking on Microsoft here, I can throw anecdotes at you all night with the things I've had fail after an upgrade, from games to office apps to operating systems to mobile phones to routers and EVERY MAINSTREAM KERNEL GOING.
Win10 isn't even at RTM stage yet... if you can get VB working on it, though, you should publish details of how you did it so it can be peer reviewed and possibly maybe added to a fork project or a niche update? That said, you're the only one so far who's complained about lack of functionality under W10, so... yanno. Looks like you're on your own for now. Good luck with that.
ACs who complain about language usage on public forums should fuck off and die in a fire. They add nothing to the discussion and only serve to piss people off.
Did Earth once possess a much larger (Neptune-sized or even larger?) atmosphere, maybe sometime way before the Hadean period? I can see the hydrogen/helium literally boiling off by a warming sun, leaving behind the heavier gases. Maybe we're looking at what Earth has now completely in the wrong way, considering that even at 430km the ISS is being slowed by atmospheric drag - common assumption has it that "Space" occurs at what, shy of 100km? This Karman line isn't a solid boundary with Space above and Air below, it's a convenient mark on a piece of paper.
there's a workaround that involves adding it as a raw hard disk image (works for UMS only I can confirm, streaming devices such as wireless, ask someone else)
that will be the point where I'll look for an alternative. As for right now, Virtualbox will, for me:
- boot a native MS-DOS 6.22 image (forget DOSBOX, if you want DOS functionality use fucking DOS!).
- boot a native Win32 image with complete Win16 compatibility - just like you got in Win9x. Oh hell, I use win9x when I want that kind of functionality. Virtualbox lets me do that.
- do the above headless and feed a thin client or six, simultaneously, off a commodity desktop system.
- let you export a disk image to a partition mounted via the host and thereafter, boot said exported image on a completely different piece of hardware with no further hacking required. I'm looking at you, DOSBOX.
- let you merge snapshots from specified thin clients into the service image while the image is in use.
- connect one remote session to another remote session from another server and directly collaborate between the two, migrating clipboard and keyboard events as you go, seamlessly between two completely different desktop environments as if you were hosting them both on the local system. Comes in handy on the odd occasion I'm moving bits of user data (eg user lists) between WAMP stacks that for some reason *have* to reside on the system partition and not the segregated data partition.
I use VirtualBox for my application server and half a dozen thin clients, clustering, a virtualised (and very scalable thanks you) multitudinous WAMP stack, and game cabinet imaging development. It does exactly what I want it to do, I see absolutely no reason to change to another system. If development stopped HARD today it would not bother me in the slightest. I don't know of any features other platforms have that Virtualbox doesn't that I've ever gone "Oh, why can't I do this!?"
I think it's entirely possible to do that on a WAMP stack.
BL is done in the "M" bit. That's your database. The "P" bit is the bit where you build the UI. "A" is the webserver. "W" is the server platform of choice. The latter two aren't part of the discussion, because they don't need to be. PHP is very powerful, it can handle translating the BL through the UI in either direction, is more than capable of handling complex SQL statements and is proven in agnostic form data. Dealt with. The grunt work depends on the database. If you can't connect BL in the DB to the code in your web application, there's not anything wrong with the platform components, the problem is in your understanding of their individual and collective capabilities and how to coax them into doing what you expect them to do. If you're looking for a "shop in a box" solution, WAMP isn't for you anyway - you're looking for a unified WAMP-ish-but-not-WAMP stack in a pretty box with a picture of a pretty young lady looking happy at her workstation on the front. For insurance evaluations and health services there is a slew of bespoke applications that do just what you want because they're designed for that one specific purpose, but you will find one thing in common to them all: not a single one of them outputs to open standards (hence rely on the utterly debunked "security through obscurity" data integrity model), and support for them is via contracts with the developers at obscene rates.
I hate Java, for much the same reasons as you. Unfortunately, not having it installed leaves me with no database in OOo and the rest of it is fairly crippled. Pisses me off, but I found a workaround solution that works just fine for me at least as far as a database is concerned: I installed a WAMP stack. Specifically, the Bitnami Docuwiki and Mediawiki stacks. Side by side. One runs on localhost 8000 the other on localhost 8001. I can even access them (hence all the documents) via my virtual machines on the thin clients. Bonus!
yeah but there aren't any more B-52's being built, specific spare parts aren't available because at some point the decision was made to detool (around the same time it was decided to drop heavy weights across the wing roots of several aircraft to ensure they never flew again), repairs on that line are only possible when the repair job needs tools that are still in use.
and by the time you get the extra avionics and other systems (missile defence, for one) adapted for the different airframe from a different manufacturer? Boeing customise the aircraft for purpose, which as a military contractor includes MDS and enhanced RADAR and electrical subsytems.
apparently so, in the last couple days reports intended to scare us state that the RAF sent up fighter jets to warn off a Russian bomber that (was still in international airspace but) had "buzzed" the coast of Bournemouth, ostensibly to probe out air defences.
Not to worry, Comrade Putin, all you have to do is look at our online press which tells us that apart from all the equipment the MOD have left behind in Iraq and Afghanistan, the British Government under King Cameron is selling off what's left of our military prowess and having us instead rely on an agreement made with France in which they'll supply us with quality aircraft (that can't keep up with anything the Israeli Air Force have in service), an aircraft carrier (since the Government literally gave the ones we had, that we used to kick the Argies arses back in the 80s, to scrappers in Turkey(!!)), and small arms that are absolutely no use to us, in fact even more useless than the SA-80s currently being issued that jam when *dust* gets into the breech. Oh, should I mention that over the last few years the public advertising for recruitment into the armed forces has been heavily into promoting part time postings and even they have failed miserably in maintaining recruitment numbers? Really, Mr. Putin, you have nothing whatsoever to worry about from this sad old ex-empire, not least either because our nuclear capability is currently between bases since Scotland don't want them up there any more, they're now looking at building a base in the Bristol Channel. Go nuts, this information is all in the public domain.
because the 747 might be big and heavy but it's a glutton for punishment. It can land on just one engine. It can also carry a hell of a lot more payload than the Gulfstream (clears 150 tons against a ramp load of less than three tons for the GS-V?) a hell of a lot further, and can be fitted with advanced avoidance and defensive systems such as chaff, flares etc. Good luck getting all that crammed into a 3 ton payload then including the President and his entourage.
according to Boeing Commercial, they have enough orders in the 8 Intercontinental to keep their plant going for the next fifty years. Not bad considering that over the last 45 years Boeing have beeen refining their floor process and managed to build over 1500 747s so far. Air China have another half dozen 8Is coming.
the only difference between the 8 and the other 747 series is the 8 is 19 feet longer. Hell, they're being built on the same plant floor that the first -100 was built on. There is no special retooling required.
and the rest - the 747 has been flying commercially since 1970. That's 45 years, easily the longest continuous run of any aircraft model anywhere ever. And I swear some of the first airframes are still in service.
the Bentley Jubilee 2002 was built and furnished entirely in England. The engine is a Rolls Royce TT 6.75l V8 purpose-built in Derby. Coachwork and chassis assembled by hand in Crewe, and the furniture by Hield in West Yorkshire. It might be *owned* by Volkswagen but the manufacturing is entirely still British labour.
the Antonov 225 has six engines. OK, there was only ever one built. BUT, its immediate predecessor, the AN-124, is a commercially available, fully configurable airlifter/cargo/passenger airframe, which remains the largest of its type in the world. 25% greater carrying capacity than the Lockheed C5 Galaxy.

tell that to Air China, Lufthansa, Cathay-Pacific, Atlas, Arik, Korean Air... all of whom have orders in for the -8I (that's the passenger variant).
according to Boeing Commercial, they have enough orders in the 8 Intercontinental to keep their plant going for the next fifty years. Not bad considering that over the last 45 years Boeing have beeen refining their floor process and managed to build over 1500 747s so far. Air China have another half dozen 8Is coming.
Boeing isn't going anywhere for a long time yet.

Coachwork and chassis assembled by hand in Crewe, and the furniture by Hield in West Yorkshire. It might be *owned* by Volkswagen but the manufacturing is entirely still British labour.
having a look around, it seems that a lot of the Government fleets (Estonia and Argentina to name two) are comprised primarily of Audi A8s.
the Antonov 225 has six engines. OK, there was only ever one built. BUT, its immediate predecessor, the AN-124, is a commercially available, fully configurable airlifter/cargo/passenger airframe, which remains the largest of its type in the world. 25% greater carrying capacity than the Lockheed C5 Galaxy.
Ukrainian, for the win.
Mir=X but Mir !=X11
basic functionality is pretty much the same, but the framework is different enough to be called a new approach to the same problem.
