It's almost like a five year old came into the room carrying a hammer. Everybody is uncomfortable saying anything about it and the kid's mom asks "Did any of you bring anything breakable?"
For some reason that translates in my head to Donald Trump saying "It's rickety, it's old, let's tear the whole city block down and I'll build a shining new office tower there."
Young punks always think they know best when they're tearing out the insides of things they don't really understand.
Correct. Rewrite everything in the past to accomodate our New Leader. All scripts, all startup commands. Shake it all up because the new Briteboys said so.
You're speaking more of what the Turbo line grew into, after Borland came out with their full-bore C++. In that later period they had light and inexpensive Turbo products, and the very powerful Borland C++. In the earlier time Turbo Pascal was a really lightweight DOS development product.
I ran my BBS using the WWIV 3.2.1 BBS package, which was only distributed as Turbo Pascal source code. The early Turbo Pascal development environment (3.0) was a DOS text-mode arrangement, not a bordered Windows-like IDE. The WWIV BBS compiled into a binary that only needed about 192K of RAM to run. On my 640K 8088 DOS machine, I used a TSR-based disk cache to allocate 320K of the RAM to a cache that made it run smoother with fewer disk hits. I ran a fairly popular single-line BBS running on that hardware with a snappy fast 1200 baud modem.
Turbo Pascal and Turbo Basic and shortly thereafter Turbo C were light and fast development tools with a lot of power (relative to the DOS environment they ran in). I also think there were Boreland Turbo products for other machines (Apple 2?), though I'm not that familiar with them.
I definitely agree. I am not using the Lumia as my phone right now. I got a Moto E for $39 with the same carrier (Virgin Mobile). And the Moto E has now dropped to $29. It's a heck of a phone for thirty bucks.
IBM's BIOS was not reverse engineered. The commented Assembly Language source code for the BIOS is published in the Technical Reference Manual which anybody could purchase.
Phoenix had to hire programmers to read the IBM source, write a human language specification, then hand that specification over to a seperate team to code their version of BIOS. Anybody on the first team, or anybody who had access to and read the published IBM source code was disqualified to work on the reimplementation.
In other words, IBM published their BIOS in commented human readable source code. The PC was in this regard among others, an open architecture.
I was looking at some Atmel processors on Atmel's website last night. I don't think they have anywhere near as much info on their Facebook page, if they even have a Facebook page.
I doubt if O'Reilly and Associates use their Facebook page for much important, either.
Those are just two examples of websites I used in the last few days.
Actual companies have their own web sites. Perhaps it can be said that startups and companies whose main product is 'hype-spin' stick to Facebook.
Linux has better hardware support if you're talking about a Pee Cee and what odd peripherals you can buy at a department store to plug into it. Plus it's only a kernel.
NetBSD has far better hardware support, in that with each version release all the processor architectures it will run on is supported, with the whole kernel and base userland under that version tag. You can check the same source tree out of the repository and build it for every architecture. The whole system and a full base userland.
With Linux the userland is whatever dogs breakfast a 'distro' producer chose to toss into the mix. With NetBSD it is all consistent.
Even for people who can't stand Trump, he would be an excellent choice for president over Hillary Clinton.
If Trump were elected, the creep of Executive Privilege which has become a real problem in the balance of powers would immediately have it's wings clipped. There aren't gonna be a lot of arbitrary executive orders tolerated from a Trump Administration.
I don't think Trump would be elected for a second term. I don't even think he would want to be re-elected. He could be the 21th century version of James K. Polk, who settled a LOT of issues in the mid 19th Century and didn't seek re-election.

Lennart Porttering isn't a head of state with a Secret Service detail, so there are some curious things for us all to ponder.
You're forgetting that all the mac users climbed aboard what they thought was the UNIX bus a little over a decade ago.
In the movie Fahrenheit-451 you're the dude gleeful that all the clutter is being cleared away.
Same as it ever was.
But we have also always been able to identify and route around said phenomena.
Linux has been very successful and it's always true of highly successful projects/companies that they attract certain types after awhile.

Wall Street and the News Media consider Apple a Gadget Company.
That has to hurt for any long term tech employees at Apple. Probably doesn't bug Tim.
Cook also doesn't have any kids. For him it is always "other people's kids."
In 1983 lots of homes had TRS or Commodore computers. Apple 2s were expensive, yes.

When part of the criterion is 'who knows when the next election will be?' you can hardly call it a democracy.
There are people who live really sad lives for whom that is the case.
So you are just talking about where children navigate to before they've grown up?

Irrelevant. We want videos of Mae Ling Mak, not newb stuff.
It's not that hard to get the APK off a rooted phone that already has the app.
What's cool is that you can just swap the SD card to run a different OS, so you can have a wallet of SD cards with different OSes to run.
as we all suspected all along,
Who is this 'we'? Do you have a hamster in your pocket or is that your iPhone buzzing?
My phone has an ARM processor, and until I can install iOS on it, that's an irrelevant spam topic to bring into this discussion.
So when is Apple going to start selling an iOS I can install? Or is their code so fragile it only runs on a precious few devices?
Google actually allows 3rd party manufacturers. They're not 100% proprietary and closed source.
My Lumia 635 was only $39. You should have tried something cheaper for awhile before committing.
