Exactly. Also referred to in the past as the ISA (Industrial Standard Architecture). And even though ISA slots are long gone* PCs still are compatible with the old standard. This to the extent that some bus accesses will be artificially slowed down to conform to AT performance even though that isn't documented.
(* actually there still is remnants of it in the form of the LPC (Low Pin Count) bus)
I find it ironic then that nowadays "real" PCs run IOS and Android.
What?
Die Micro$soft, just die!
How about you grow up instead?
You really are a huge idiot, aren't you?
Then I hope you'll take one for the herd?
Maybe the _fact_ that medication have to go through _scientific_ testing to _ensure_ they are _effective_ and have _less_ serious side-effects have anything to do with it?
BTW US isn't the world - there are several countries with laws designed to reduce the effect of PR in medicine.
The country didn't put poison in anything. Crooks put poison in some things, yes. But crooks aren't only located in China...
They used hydrogen cyanide (in the form of Zyklon B) and carbon monoxide (from engine exhaust) in their extermination camps. The labor camps didn't try to kill people efficiently.
Cool! How many unicorns have you seen since?
Windows NT was based on a modified VMS design combined with microkernel ideas. But it never was based on or even inspired by Mach.
And while OS X does use Mach it isn't Mach - it just uses it for some functionality, not as a kernel proper.
Oh and your idea that either of them uses a generic IPC design is wrong too. QNX does though.
Aah, I remember back in the late 80's and early 90's everyone had a boner for microkernels. IBM even gave it a try, attempting to port OS/2 over to a microkernel so they could run it on Intel and PowerPC platforms. At one point, IBM's strategy was that they were going to build OS/2 around a microkernal and then just run THAT on all their hardware, with multi-user and security features added or removed as needed. Well, very long story, very long, they never could get it to work.
Depends on what you mean by that. They couldn't simply port stuff to the new microkernel, AIX, OS/400 etc. wasn't suitable to move to the new kernel. One of the big problems IIRC was endianess.
When the grand unified theo^H^H^H^HOS didn't work out it all fell apart. This in combination with the failure of PPC as a new personal computer platform, the disinterest of others to use the Workplace OS kernel, the failure of Taligent and a lot of other things made sure the project was canceled.
But OS/2 was ported and ran on the microkernel so that part of the project did succeed.
These days you don't see the same hype around microkernals that you did back then. So we should probably warn the HURD team: If your boner for microkernals lasts more than 25 years, you should probably consult a physician.
QNX, Nemesis, K42 and L4 based systems shows that to be false.
What? QNX isn't inspired by Minix - it was released 5 years before Minix!
It wasn't HDD manufacturers "making up" those prefixes, in fact they tend to like the older non-binary prefixes or (in some cases) mixing binary and decimal prefixes into a mess.
What is there to explain? Their native language is Spanish, just as some other US groups have French or other languages as their native language.
Both dark energy and dark matter have been verified in _several_ ways making those two very hard to replace by other mechanisms. Not impossible but anything pointing to another mechanism would be a proper paradigm shift, something that is extremely unlikely.
TL;DR Both dark energy and dark matter have solid evidence and is very unlikely to be disproved.
