The thing about not being able to swap out IE was, that Microsoft claimed it could not be done
I couldn't be done. I know, I know... 98lite. That replaced Win98 shell with Windows 95's. It was no longer Windows 98. All of the web panels you would interact with the system were gone. Active Desktop was broke. Even today, your winvista/7/8* rely on IE to make the shell work. It keeps from having to have two sets of code to render icons/graphics and having competing scripting anchors. The shell is a BIG part of the OS. I'm not sure most of the complainers actually know what they are saying
With Rob Landeros trying to bring The 7th Guest 3 to life, one of the more asked questions was whether you would be doing the music for it. At first, there was not much of an answer except "No. Licensing problems." Then it came out that he got licensing worked out to use music from The 7th Guest and 11th Hour, but not any new music. So what is going on with all of that?
If that's what you want to do, sure. But these PHP/C#/Web folks are a dime a dozen. You already have experience in something specialized. There may not be many jobs per se, but there aren't many people to fill those. Move into driver development or embedded system programming. You will be able to transfer current skills and you won't face saturation like in the higher level languages.
From what I understand, it goes like this: The concept of a double spend is to try and spend the same money in two transactions. The bitcoin protocol has its way of dealing with it, pretty much by only one of those transactions succeeding. In this case, some nefarious entity submits the same transaction with all of the same details, but a different transaction ID. IF luck is in their favor, the protocol will chose their block instead of the one from the exchange. The nefarious entity then says "My money never got here! Just look at the blockchain!" and the exchange does... by transaction ID. They don't find it, so they figure the transaction was unsuccessful and sends out another one.
ReactOS is at a point where it is as compatible as it is going to get, if you get it to a bug free state. The issue is ultimately with other Microsoft libraries that are "part" of Windows, but not. Things like MFC, ADO, VB6 runtime, Terminal services, just to name a few are things we take for granted that just aren't going to be part of ReactOS. They have proxy DLLs with functions that do nothing, but they are monumental tasks all by themselves and most software needs these tidbits to run.
We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience
What makes you think that a site redesign is going to bring more folks to your website? I mean, what the actual hell. People don't become members of an online community because of flashy HTML/javascript magic
Not only that, but a REALLY old client (Haines & Co in North Canton, OH) publishes what the call Criss Cross directory. It has moved to more of an online service, but they still publish and sell a printed book. You can look up an address by phone number, You can look up a person by address, etc. You just need one piece of information and you can easily look up the rest
Where I work, there are no grunts. There are no people who mindlessly grind out code. We're not building yet another website: We're solving hard problems, and we want everyone to contribute
"If you call a day off work you better put it back either by extended hours for the rest of the week or throw in one of your weekend days. I don't care about your allotted sick or vacation days. You owe me work"
To contribute with value, you need to not stagnate in one technology for half your career. You need to be well-read about software.
"You better spend your offtime studying everything you don't do at work"
And while we work very few weekends, sometimes there are longer days (like anywhere).
"We work a 60 hour a week minimum and if that isn't enough to get done what I threw on you at the last minute, kiss your weekend goodbye"
The salaries are on the low-end of competitive.
"We pay dirt. If you don't like it, we can replace you with 3 indians"
However, there is a point at which more money no longer truly motivates me, and I passed that years ago
"I have plenty of money in the bank, I've paid for my kids college, own my house and two luxury cars. We aren't going to pay you more, so we will twist this into a debate about morals"
I could go on and on, but I've seen this guy too many times. The only people he is fooling is his employees.
Hell, I'm stuck on Nvidias 314.22 drivers because every driver from the 32x and 33x series causes my machine to freeze or restart the driver in a "safe mode". You can read the many links to this horror via https://www.google.com/search?q=nvidia+video5
It might be an attempt at using data mining for a good cause, but it is using a case where the source data itself is questionable. If you have ever wondered what it is like to be in a loony bin, it is a bunch of babysitters who hope to become doctors, playing the telephone game with the doctor-of-the-day, who reports to the actual head doctor. The observation skills of these babysitters is like a 4 year old at a gun and ammo show. Then as information is relayed twice over and statistical analytics lump you into a hierarchical cluster, you are then medicated and treated like a typical case study from said cluster. It is like a black hole of no escape, no matter how wrong it is. This is the data they are mining.

That would have to rely on said browser having an exploitable XSS vulnerability to work, however.
Hello Mr. Sanger,
With Rob Landeros trying to bring The 7th Guest 3 to life, one of the more asked questions was whether you would be doing the music for it. At first, there was not much of an answer except "No. Licensing problems." Then it came out that he got licensing worked out to use music from The 7th Guest and 11th Hour, but not any new music. So what is going on with all of that?
I'd personally love it if everything is a void*
If that's what you want to do, sure. But these PHP/C#/Web folks are a dime a dozen. You already have experience in something specialized. There may not be many jobs per se, but there aren't many people to fill those. Move into driver development or embedded system programming.

What? My E4200 immediately refuses connection on the WAN side if administration is disabled on such. What am I missing?

No, it doesn't. If 80% of the class got an A, then that is wrong, as 80% should be getting a C.
Yes. It keeps true to "C is average, B is above average, and A in excellent"
Negative. You may not redistribute these packages/DLLs to a non Microsoft Windows platform. It is right in the license.

You must be a lawyer
Small claims court is $25 (where I'm at) and you go without a lawyer. $25 is the cost

What the hell would you be doing where optimizing a vtable lookup away will matter in the slightest?

Node.js isn't anything close to a platform. It just serializes/deserialized objects.
It is like cable TV channel bundling. You have to take the whole thing so they can profit
Yeah, I saw manager speak all over this guy:
