One of the biggest regressive changes was the decision to make Funny moderations worthless, thereby turning funny posts and comments into karma sinks.
When did that happen? Given that your UID is ~150k higher than mine, and that I was not aware of any change - I always assumed Funny never affected karma - I really have no idea what you're talking about.
Holy shit, it's like Microsoft's own engineers built it into the product just to give loafers a means to look busy while actually wasting tons of time.
Company policy is to use their own products as soon as they're somewhat production ready. Wonder why it seems to take so long to release...:)
The DS uses two ARM chips, though, and is also fairly well-established. Either architecture could win for Apple if they try to woo developers to a gaming platform.
NT is very portable. MS originally wrote NT for the MIPS and i860 architectures and only began the i386 work when they were nearing release. There was even a (unreleased) Sparc port.
Compaq killed off the Alpha machines right before Windows 2000 shipped. Microsoft reportedly continued to update the Alpha port simply to ensure portability was still achieved until the Itanium hardware was ready.
Early Xbox 360 development kits were PPC hardware (rumor had it they were based on the Power Mac G4) running Windows NT 4. In fact, the Xbox 360 OS is derived from that of the Xbox, which was derived from Windows 2000.
The real reason the ports were never updated was that there was no real demand. i386 managed to achieve dominance by the time NT 4 was released (for i386, MIPS, PPC, and Alpha). Otherwise we might all be using Alpha workstations.
I wouldn't call the bizarre mess of the MacOS kernel "modular". It's certainly not a micro-kernel, if that's what you mean.
Mach is a microkernel, BSD is not. As kernels go, XNU is quite the odd one out.
This is especially true for Windows, in which long-term heavy usage of COM (which was explicitly designed to promote modularity)
It's a real shame that.Net seems to have taken a huge step backwards in this respect (when it was supposed to replace COM)..Net assemblies are signed and versioned, ensuring that the same assembly will always be loaded for a reference...whereas COM simply finds a DLL that matches the given class ID, without caring if it's exactly what the program asked for.

That's pretty cool (the forensics, that is, not the district's actions). Whatever became of those tools?
Correct, it was no longer optional but mandatory after IE4.

Sadly, there's probably some braindead program out there that relies on the font dialog being set up exactly that way.
Am I the only one that read Zombu as Zombo?
Presumably one must use a password.
Will it blend?
Yes, but we were the only country with them at the time. We're not stupid enough to try again.
They do not, the use custom firmware on top of EFI, unlike the BIOS that everyone else uses.
Do they learn how to sap sentries and backstab the engie?

As noted above, P.A. Semi doesn't make chips either. Now if Apple bought a fab it would get interesting - produce their own ARM chips?
the iPhone/iPod Touch use an ARM, I'm not sure which model specifically.

Isn't that what file formats do?
The native Linux versions of UT would run much better...
Wouldn't they cancel each other out?
-1, terrible pun
I'd call it fucking awesome.
Spy sappin' mah data!
You can use two: Your mom.

It's a real shame that
Use nspluginwrapper. It takes a little effort to set up but runs Flash and a few other proprietary (32-bit-only) plugins with ease.
Nor are non-Mac users.
