No, it was 16-bit. And all kernel the drivers (VxD) were also completely 16-bit. In essence, Win95 was just a very complicated DOS application. The 32-bit layer was built on top of it.
Right now you also need to prove that you can't hire anyone to do the job in America.
That's incorrect, there is no such requirement at all. There IS a requirement to pay market wages which in theory should prevent employers from abusing the system, but in reality it's full of holes. Simply fixing the loopholes will go a long way towards curbing H1B abuse.
In another news, Whole Foods now offers a "Piece Of Fukushima" line of face creams. They're aimed at organic-gluten-free-vegan crowd and reduce the risk of leukemia. They also glow in the dark.
Countries with actual gun regulations have this little-known feature - ballistic fingerprinting. Every registered gun is required to get analyzed periodically, so its bullets are traceable. It's not foolproof, but it's fairly reliable if done correctly. Also, microstamping should be mandated for all guns.
"Economy grew very well" It's a lie. Numbers of dollars has grown; wealth created per person has not. For about 40 years now, when manufacturing began leaving this country.
GDP per person has grown significantly. Do you have other real measures of "economy growing"? Gut feelings or idiocies like "the price of oil divided by price of gold multiplied by gross GRP has tanked!" do not count.
We get more and more careful on this one as time goes by, but they most certainly called themselves socialists, or more specifically, the National Socialist German Workers' Party. And they instituted socialist policies when they came to power.
Yes, they called themselves "socialists" as a PR move but Hitler immediately purged the "socialist" wing of Nazi when he gained power (see "Ernst Roehm", "Night of the Long Knives"). Nazi policies afterwards were most definitely NOT socialist: destruction of labor unions, forced labor for corporations, ability of corporations to issue laws, etc.
In other countries (Spain, Romania) local Fascist parties did not even pretend to be socialist.
Uhm, it doesn't work like that. The most common J1772 plug doesn't have any locks and it can always be unplugged. ChADeMo plugs and Tesla plugs have locks, but there are very few stations using this standard.
No, this doesn't work like that. There are multiple car charging networks out there, usually they send you an RFID keyfob/card that you use to initiate the charging. Of course, it goes directly to your credit card. And if somebody unplugs you, the charging session immediately ends and they need to start it again (with their keyfob).
The rich get richer because the economy slows down, not the other way around.
That's not true for the last 40 years in the US. Economy grew very well, but most of the gains went to the upper classes.
The communists (or worse) who've always called themselves socialists btw, (the Soviets and Nazis called themselves socialists), just keep at it until they finally break everything and get themselves into power.
JFYI, that's because "communism" is a theoretical ideal, and "communist" means someone who works towards building this ideal. Soviet societal structure was described as "socialism" - a stepping stone on the path to communism, according to Lenin. Oh, and Nazis were not socialists - Fascism is very much an extreme right-wing ideology, which gives private corporations the powers normally reserved for the state.
And that makes her books nothing more than an over-emotional bullcrap. They are not documentaries since no fact-checking was done and they are not pure fiction ("oral stoties"). They are just... crap for over-excitable individuals. All her artistic input was to choose the most emotional stories (and damn their accuracy).
Do you notice how her books lack stories like this:
My family lived 25 kilometers from Chernobyl in a small village, my husband worked on a small furniture factory and I worked as a teacher. Several days after the explosion, soldiers came to us and told that we'll have to relocate soon. We were allowed to take only small personal items and all of them were inspected.
We were offered a new apartment in Ryazan' and received several thousand rubles, enough to buy new furniture. We also got cards to buy imported Bulgarian child food for our 6-months old son. Even after the USSR collapse we received free medical checkups every year and our son got free admission into a top Russian university. He's working as a nuclear engineer in Bryanks now.
A true story, I worked with their son. But of course, this story is not sufficiently full of bullcrap to win a Nobel.
Either you didn't read it very carefully, or you haven't remembered it very well. It's not 'her memoirs', but an oral history compiled from interviews.
That's not an excuse for bald-faced lies. And I remembered it just fine - I just was too lazy to translate it into English and post it here. But since you've posted a link to an English translation, I'm posting the offending passage here:
When he found out they'd be taking the bone marrow from
his little sister, he flat-out refused. "I'd rather die. She's so small.
Don't touch her." His older sister Lyuda was twenty-eight, she
was a nurse herself, she knew what she was getting into. "As long
as he lives," she said. I watched the operation. They were lying
next to each other on the tables. There was a big window onto
the operating room. It took two hours. When they were done,
Lyuda was worse off than he was, she had eighteen punctures
in her chest, it was very difficult for her to come out from under
the anesthesia. Now she's sick, she's an invalid. She was a strong,
pretty girl. She never got married.
That's just bullshit. I was a bone marrow donor myself and it certainly was nothing close to this BS.
I've actually worked at Chernobyl and there many, many interesting local stories. But Alexievich's memoirs are just bullshit.
I've actually read the "Voices of Chernobyl" long time ago. It's over-emotional crap with very little actual facts and some outright lies: Alexievich's husband was treated in the Moscow radiological military hospital by qualified staff (not by some fearful nurses), being a bone marrow donor does not lead to a disability and it's certainly not performed in the same operating room on a table next to the bone marrow recipient (yet her memoirs graphically describe it).
No. Getting acute radiation sickness is HARD. You have to really work to get it, even in cases of nuclear contamination. The first acute radiation sickness symptoms happen at around 1 Sievert. For comparison, the US lifetime irradiation limit for nuclear power plant workers is 0.2 Sv and two of the most irradiated worker in Fukushima received around that dose (though localized near their ankles) - and this is still 5 times less than the low threshold for acute effects.

Since the current "trajectory" as measured by real satellites has been flat for over twenty years
No, it hasn't.
Tesla'is main auto factory is in Fremont, CA.
No, it was 16-bit. And all kernel the drivers (VxD) were also completely 16-bit. In essence, Win95 was just a very complicated DOS application. The 32-bit layer was built on top of it.
Win95 could run with 4Mb and was quite usable with 6Mb. Microsoft did a great job optimizing memory use (by essentially sticking with 16-bit kernel).

They don't do that _right_ _now_, but that the goal.

Nobody disputes the deaths from acute radiation sickness cases. However, "millions of cancer patients" have not materialized.

Why would the govt need to know what guns I have or how many I have?
To easily trace you once you turn into a mass-murderer.

That's incorrect. There's not enough of ANY charging ports, free or paid.

"Chernobyl Notebook" by Grigoiy Medvedev is one of the best: http://www.amazon.com/Chernoby...
It's much more scarier and far more fascinating than Alexievich's books.
So, how many of these children died from cancer so far? Answer: none.
See here: http://slashdot.org/comments.p... I'm sorry for my own incorrect memory of the things - I did read this book several years ago.

Shame on the Nobel committee.
If you don't believe civilians should be able to own any weapon our military is allowed to use, your out.
If you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" - you're out.
The thing is, Virgin Galactic airplanes simply can NOT reach the orbital speed. No way, no how. I.e. it can go _higher_, but it won't _stay_ there.
Chernobyl actually has a robust population of natural hunters (wolves, mostly).
