government agencies, all the better to track you. And oracle financials is popular in the business world. next iteration we are probably going to sparc not because we want to but because of crappy oracle contracts.
yes it is a shit solution and a shit product, but who's running to great plains now a MS product...?????
trapped, that is what we are.:(
its brought to you by the same people who went along with smoking is good. this is just a larger move to discredit the whole 'organic' thing, although now its a big business, 'big organic' is pretty much pointless these days.
try supporting local growers, the 3-5 that still survive.
they can't hear you over their 'awesomeness' in that echo chamber called Waterloo.
Seriously they are in a world onto their own with no worldly exposure, its no wonder they actively fought against touch devices, media players, and cameras.
BB's are like the horse & buggies that surround the Waterloo region, out of touch with the time
WOW.. how long did it take to adapt OS X to run on the iPhone???
Talk about a major blunder!
Oh well Osborne effect will be in full swing, don't they now have an incredible amount of obsolete phones???
As always hubris gets the best of Waterloo ON, sorry guys you just aren't that special.
Ever been in a Concorde?
I'll tell you why it died, there is no real 'first class' its like all COACH through the plane. It's small & cramped. And hell legroom was non existant. The only saving grace was its speed, but it had to be MACH+ as you'd go insane from claustrophobia!
TLDR;
Concords sucked.
If they price these things higher than an iPad, then it'll be completely irrelevant in six months or less.
I can still find brand new acer windows xp machines for $250 at target/walmart etc... If these new surface things dont start at this pricepoint then it wont matter, nobody will buy them.
One can only wonder if these guys were targeted, or if its just the system in general... I've always suspected the 'grid' is to keep politicians inline..
I'm sure its the aggressive disk caching... OS/2 had a static disk cache (yuck!) and hell did it use more than 64MB of ram? hard to say as it never really told you... But I could see how an aggressive OS can cache the entire disk image, dramatically speeding up disk access... I know I feel it big time using EMX on OS/2 to build Quake....
Windows NT was started in 1989! That is when they poached Cutler, NT OS/2 started as just that, Cutler was doing his kernel,for an Intel i860. it wasn't until 1990 when Windows 3.0 was a big hit, when the 'Cruiser' personality was ditched. None of the kernel or 16bit OS/2 stuff had to be altered, and instead the port of Windows to OS/2 (WLO) found itself as the basis of Win32 as it was ported to NT, and expanded to a 32bit API...
Its all in the excellent book showstopper.
Also there was a PM for NT addon that let you run 16bit PM applications on NT. I've only seen it for 3.51 & 4.0 though.

I've got almost every version of Win32s (yeah there was sooo damned many) I just don't have 1.0... anyways now I feel like I almost need to timeline Win32s release s, OS/2 updates and NT releases....
EMX the port of GCC to OS/2 was out before there was a Windows 95... I still remember some dos extender rsx? that ran EMX bound exe's on Windows 3.1

1GB of space, because that is how much the 80286's virtual address space was... even though its physical address bus was 24bit (16MB) it could map 1GB in the VM. Sadly OS/2's 32bit version wasn't entirely 32bit. hell 2.0 had a 16bit graphics subsystem for PM, and many of the LAN drivers were 16bit as well...
I guess they figured that going pure 32bit and requiring new drivers would be death to OS/2, much like BillG didn't want NT to need new drivers, but... if you are going to be all 32bit you need 32bit drivers.
so much potential so much laid to waste. But I still use 2.0.. no really on my craptacular BBS, bbs.superglobalmegacorp.com...! Nothing handles MS-DOS like OS/2!
Also I've done a full screen/VGA port of QuakeWorld/Quake to OS/2 2.0... it runs! but no sound of course, that MP/M or whatever the multimedia thing is was... a disaster even when it was fresh.
But let me let you in on a little secret. Its the kiddies and its a sliding window of 'vulnarability'. Go and get some 1980's OS, and plug it in. It'll be fine! Honestly!
just fine, thankyou very much. Blackberry users deserve the disconnect for forcing IT to load that half baked server & screwing with their brain dead phones.

Wait, are you saying that video games aren't important?
shit, just bought an amiga 600 :(
I thought the facebooks were the whole reason for existing?
jesus, anyone pirating this shit needs to be sent to some kind of re-education camp.
to love this tech loaded up into drones....

I wish I could say more, but you know chilling effect.
considering how many laws the write for us, I think its more than money, they seek ultimate power.
who will think of the children?

Don't forget this was the same IBM porting NT 3.5 to the PowerPC, holding up NT for 3.51 ...
