without the subscription option. I just want to put it on old PCs because it is more stable than DOS/Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. I'm into retrocomputing and I'ved used OS/2 2.X and 3.X when I worked, and I like the virtual DOS machines and WINOS2 that runs 16 bit Windows software. I think there was an ODIN add on that worked like WINE but for OS/2 to run 32 bit Windows programs.
Windows 10 is big and bloated, and they added too much stuff to it. I had to downgrade from 10 to 7 using a different hard drive. I unpluged the Windows 10 hard drive and put in a new one and installed Windows 7 on it. One thing I like about OS/2 is that it loads faster and has less bloat than Windows 10 has. I also like the same thing for Linux, lower overhead in memory because it swaps out modules from the kernel when they are not in use, etc.
It all depends on how much that company pays their lawyers to get around the law for them. Google and Microsoft and Apple can get away with using someone else's IP just by running up the court costs until the IP owner has to settle out of court in order to avoid more than their income in court costs.
Google's search engine serves links to torrents. If you Google "Windows 10 Torrent" you will find torrents that will download Windows 10 on Google's search. Does that mean Google is doing the same as KAT? I'd say yes to that, KAT is a torrent search engine and Google's search engine can find torrents for you too.
pretty much killed McAfee Antivirus by bloating it up so much to use so much memory that it killed sales and people went to Nod32 and other antivirus programs that used less memory and ran faster.
Intel did this on purpose so people would think their old PCs needed a new upgrade to a faster processor to run AV faster. The same thing happens with video games eating up a lot of memory foring gaming to buy new parts.
they filmed over 2 hours worth of Joker footage and didn't use but so many minutes of them.
They got enough to make a movie about The Joker with the Joker scenes they didn't even use. I'm sure it could have taken on an R rating and gone against Deadpool's movie.
Microsoft is not making any money off Classic VB anymore, and there is a lot of libraries and source code examples for it.
I made my living writing in Classic VB in the 1990s and up to 2002. It was easy to learn because it was like every other form of BASIC from the 8 bit era. VB.Net changed things and made it more like Java.
For those who have Classic VB projects and want to convert it to run on JRE look at Jabaco which can convert some Classic VB code to a JAR file. It is like Java based on Classic VB but misses some parts of Classic VB so you have to convert some code.
I did not come here to praise Kuro5hin but to bury it.
Rusty Foster was an absentee landlord who neglected it while he worked for Newsweek writing Today in Tabs until he got fired. Everyone remembers the CMF that never existed but Rusty raised a lot of money with it to promise to fix Scoop and improve Kuro5hin, but the money went to fix his house and buy a yacht instead.
Rusty helped Howard Dean's campaign use Scoop to connect with voters, but the Dean Scream ruined that. That was before social networks too off and people use Wordpress now instead of Scoop.
Just about everyone who made Kuro5hin great had left, Rusty put up a $5 paywall for new accounts, when that failed to stop trolls, Rusty deleted the login form and new user page. After that didn't work Rusty moved his DNS to Ghandi in France and the site was down for a few days until this new landing page was used.
Google added features like searching with "site:ibm.com" so you only searched one site for results. Google also added natural language processing so people could ask it questions and it would find the answers to the questions. Ask Jeeves had that first, but Google did a better version of it.
One thing that Google did was Adsense and advertising and I don't recall Altavista and others having advertising options, but they did have sponsored listings. Google found a way for web masters to earn money. Google became the default search in Firefox as well when people switched to it from IE.
a lot of low paying, back breaking, labor jobs are 99% men and nobody cares enough to get women to take those jobs.
Bring in the blue collar jobs in IT, suddenly they want equality because those are better paying jobs that don't need a lot of physical back breaking labor.
Females just don't seem to have an interest in IT, only 18% people taking IT classes are female. Both males and females get bullied because they do well in math and science but somehow the females get discouraged from it and move on to something else. Males get bullied too but don't get discouraged from it. Maybe cracking down on bullying will make more females take up IT classes because bullies call females who take IT as not feminine.
Minorities, it is basically a poverty problem, they cannot afford tuition and college to earn the IT degree. They cannot afford the home computer to learn on, and they might be in a financial situation because their father left them or went into prison. You'd have to get a fund to get them home computers and low cost Internet and then scholarships for IT degrees.
Why did they build FEMA camps that look like prisons that are near rail road tracks and each one has thousands of community coffins that can hold 4 bodies.
They are modeled after the camps they kept Japanese-Americans in or before that the Native-Americans.
I bought some Ubisoft games at Big Lots on clearance for $5 in CD/DVD form.
One of the games had a discount code for half off the Ubisoft web store. I bought a few titles and applied the discount code to get half off my order. I entered my debit card and paid and waited for the software to ship. Two weeks later my order was canceled, out of stock on every item I ordered. My money was refunded. I tried the discount code again but now it doesn't work.
The games I bought for $5 at Big Lots, the keys were no longer valid.
In order to do that, you become the product they sell to other companies by logging everything you do.
This is really no different than what Dotcom companies do. Collect info on you when you use their website and then sell it to the highest bidders. It keeps their website free and targets you with ads and spam.
it can be used as a refueling station to reach other planet and star systems out there.
I assume since it is a Class M planet it has fossil fuels and water and other stuff we can use on it.
You can send robot shuttles to the surface to mine and collect fossil fuel and water, water can be turned into hydrogen for fuel and oxygen to breathe.
There might even be plants or soil rich enough to plant Earth plants on it, that might or might not grow in the higher gravity. Put down solar cells to collect sunlight and store energy. Move robots all over the planet to look for stuff.
Each email system had a triplicate of backups done so they would not lose emails. They used Microsoft Exchange Server and digital tape backups. They used Outlook and backed up PST files to network drives.
If they lost her emails with a system like that it was no accident.
See if ARM based PCs sell and scale better than x86 based PCs.
Can't run Windows on an ARM PC but maybe Linux or Haiku or AROS or something. Raspberry PI isn't a PC because it is in kit form. Make it a $100 or $200 brick PC and then see how well it sells. Make it on an ATX motherboard and then sell ARM based ATX PCs.
Can anyone tell me what operating system and software that Target uses?
I'd really like to know what exploits this software has and if any other store uses them so I can avoid shopping there.
I think retailers and wholesale clubs ought to be transparent in what operating systems and software they use for their POS system and then list the vulnerabilities they found with an code audit and how they plan to fix them.
This ought to be a law, so consumers can be protected from retailers and wholesale clubs who don't care about their privacy and credit card and debit card data and just use operating systems and software with exploits in them that they never tested nor figured out how to fix.
I think the same should be done with websites as well.
Sorry that came off as negative. I have a problem with the language center of my brain.
If you want you can work on side-projects with me. I have others who are trying to work with me as well. I've been where you are now, and I've been damaged, but I can still do work.
which is like having manic depression aka bi-polar disorder with schizophrenia and less than one half a percent of the US population suffers from it.
The big problems that I have is I am almost always misunderstood. People think that just because I am mentally ill I must be crazy, insane, stupid, incompetent, etc.
I can still do my work for jobs, but no employer wants to hire me. If I do get hired as soon as they discover I am mentally ill coworkers start to harass me and pick on me and bully me to force me to leave, or make up stuff to get me fired. They do this out of ignorance rather than a conspiracy. When they see your moods change and swing from one to another, they notice that you are mentally ill. It is not that they do this out of hate, but they misunderstand what being mentally ill really is, and confuse you for being selfish, or crazy, or insane, or whatever the news media tells them. Most of these public shooters are mentally ill so they compare you to them and get scared of you. Most people are scared of what they don't understand and get nervous and sometimes that fear turns into hate which leads to harassment, mocking, insults, bullying, and other things. When management notices most of your coworkers are picking on you, they have a choice, either fire your coworkers who aren't mentally ill, or fire the mentally ill person the coworkers are picking on.
I've been out of work since 2002 due to this. I am non-violent and I can work with anyone as long as they agree to treat me like a human being.
I am working on some startups, trying to get people involved at the above websites. I am thinking of maybe making some video games or small apps or something. I have written ebooks and done some blogging. I am open to suggestions. I have done tech support for family and friends to get by. Mostly cleaning viruses off their Windows PCs and in some cases converting people to GNU/Linux like Ubuntu or Lubuntu/Xubuntu.
I have tried kickstarter and indiegogo but it went nowhere as nobody wants to support a mentally ill person.
out there. Someone port Linux to it to replace the Windows RT OS with a Linux one designed for touch screens. Since it is ARM based I am sure Android can be ported to it as well. It is a much better solution that to just have Microsoft fill up a landfill with them because they won't sell.

Make social network and mobile games that are free to play but require you to buy in-game items in order to complete quests and become better.
Make sure you copy the ideas of other game companies.
When the game isn't doing too well, move it to the location in India and let the India division support it until it dies off and has an end of life.
Hire and fire developers all willy nilly, to save on research costs.
Release the first version all buggy so that people have to buy the DLC that changes the game and fixes the bugs for more money.

Microsoft has them, K5 units. Plans to weaponize them with tazers and maybe something else later.
If a security robot can use a tazer on a human being, then they can use an AK-47 or AR-15 or anything else like a flame thrower.
Is the robot autonomous? Does that question matter when it aims a weapon at you and fires?
We might have an ED-209 situation here, malfunctioning robot that kills innocents.
making their own cartoon channels and then the Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
Most kids watch cartoons on Youtube these days. Either that or they find a website that hosts free Anime cartoons.
I tried this with Virtual Box. You need virtualization and my CPU does not support it. So I can't tell how well it works.
I bought my CPU from Newegg and they neglected to tell me it doesn't support virtualization. I cannot afford a new one until December.
I refuse to run Windows 10 Preview on my main PC bare metal, I wanted to use a virtual machine.
like MacOS X 10.9 was free.

I do but got too close to the truth on some of my fiction stories.
I got waterboarded by the CIA because of some science fiction I posted on the Internet. It was deleted and my account was banned.
I am constantly monitored for what I post on the Internet now.
Maybe not a war zone yet, but certainly a police state even if crime is low.
Take an ARM chip and then make a consumer PC out of it. See how well it sells. Can cheaper ARM based PCs outsell Intel based ones?
Can anyone tell me what operating system and software that Target uses?
I'd really like to know what exploits this software has and if any other store uses them so I can avoid shopping there.
I think retailers and wholesale clubs ought to be transparent in what operating systems and software they use for their POS system and then list the vulnerabilities they found with an code audit and how they plan to fix them.
