I still run OS/2 2.0 on Qemu version 0.15.1. It runs stable enough to run synchronet, on a VPS in a datacenter. Honestly at this point OS/2's only redeeming thing is that it runs MS-DOS based doors better than anything else out there.
and yet it wasn't good enough to bootstrap the kernel, or the device drivers.
OS/2 2.0 was largely a MS affair, and such a stopgap port into being 32bit with 16bit device drivers. If only IBM had let MS put windows on top of OS/2 and ditch the ass backwards PM. But no, IBM had to have SAAS (which nobody used). So MS took their ball home, and realized that they didn't need IBM anymore.
But IBM SURE needed Microsoft. OS/2 never became a real 32bit OS, still relies on 16bit drivers, and suffers many limitations as such. It'll never be 64bit, and always have MAJOR components like networking even with it's NET/2 TCP/IP left as an expensive addon.
IBM kept on sabotaging OS/2 starting with the $3000 OS/2 1.0 SDK, and the $2500 OS/2 2.0 SDK's.
Good riddance to IBM being out of the market with their insanely overpriced tools, and borrowed OS's which they clearly never understood as they had years to do something about the kernel, and the best they could do was that aborted L4 port that was as braindead as the 16bit extended 2.0 kernel.
They hit that point like Shenmue on the Dreamcast, the only way to be profitable is if everyone bought two copies...
They have hit market saturation. They've got the coke brand recognition, and to keep getting this insane VC funding they need to turn git into something everyone can and will use.
There simply isn't enough programmers to sustain them.
well rommon is a debugger, so if you own that, you can inject yourself into IOS. It's not like IOS images are signed, or encrypted... Not that it matters i guess, everyone has to decrypt to RAM at some point.
When you can't trust your hardware, you are basically fucked, but yeah IOS should be signed at least.
Just as Microsoft had their terraserver, but couldn't see a viable internet mapping application, Digital had their internet search, but couldn't see a business built around search.
Google exists because the competition didn't even know what they had.

drivers in OS/2 are 16bit.
they fucked up Qemu, Basilisk, and just about anyone doing JIT a few years back. It's too bad EGCS couldn't break the GNU/Cygwin GCC monopoly.

And there lies the problem, the installation could be years old.
I always love their abusive rants to me and others who dare touch any other emulator.
If some project needed a code of conduct, it is mame
That is the biggest cheating pile of crap ever.
and girls with the peace sign. welcome to china! Selfie stick central!
but we had a 2+ week outage once. there was a reason I left 'cloud' stuff.
i can run sql server on wine, so i can now have sql server on my phone! Awesome!

And is trivial to deploy on a rented VPS for $3 a month, and lets me host as much crap as I have space for. For free.
Since sourceforge is still around, it should be a 30 billion dollar company. Not to mention sourceforge is superior to github.
they feel running cvs is worth 2 billion.
Slight over valuation?
balls.com, van.com and every other 1.0 failure.
This is the beginning of the end.
Let the bubble pop
of that kid?
boo freaking hoo, spying, lying no good AT&T.
show us the infection! I suspect it's in the bootroms (rommon), and it can insert into any IOS during the unzipping of IOS into ram (#######) ..
they are riding what is probably already there, in the target network.

really, they can't shoot a cow or something with this thing? Just some crappy video game footage?
yep, finally someone else remembers!

Maybe one of those new powermac with a 601 powerpc and system 8.5!
Or just install a/ux and build a ssl proxy
how can i get one of these cozzy Pentagon shilling job?
Next thing, you are going to tell me that with 18 women, I can't have a baby in 2 weeks.
arent we at the point where SOC's are cheaper than 555's?
