If you expand the crazy one-letter commands into their full length and color them, maybe it's a bit less terrible.

Maybe it's in the basement and menacing the soil's integrity ; earth itself can collapse under the weight of a few years of DoD paperwork.
There are no tables, tablespaces, or schemas. Everything in the global array is persistent and is saved directly to a disk.
So the bloody thing is NoSQL and ready for the biggest revolution in computing soon hitting the market - persistent memory such as Memristor and 3D XPoint.
The start menu was very powerful though, with file management features built-in. At least from Windows 95 + Internet Explorer additions or Windows 98. Drag'n'drop (internal and external), deletion and sorting aren't found in every menu, to this day linux application menus tend to require a helper program or config file editing.
Shortcuts breaking is a feature. It makes it simple to understand : just a reference to the last known location of some data.
What if it was all dynamic and even directly represented the underlying data : does that mean that if I drag them to trash, then my data is deleted? Crap.
Please keep things simple. Windows 95 shortcuts are simple. Auto-fixing dynamic indexed (whatever) things with special casing to guard me against disasters, that's complex and that sucks. Even command line *nix is a bit bad : how come rm symlink_name deletes the symlink not the file? Yes it's nice that the file wasn't deleted, and the symlink feature is sometimes useful but it's weird. Kind like Apple's dragging a floppy disk icon to the trash.
Under Windows you can create shortcuts to bat files. Thus e.g. a shortcut to glquake, with Quake guy icon that changes gamma to 1.2, launches the game at 1024x768 etc., changes gamma to 1.0 (back to desktop)
So you can do whatever and it's easy! (at least until and including XP)
Under linux you can create a
The eXXXtreme is at eight cores now.
I believe editing is done with compressed video, but it's compressed frame by frame. The old MJPEG was used for this in the 90s, then it's a mode in MPEG-4 video, H264 and H265.
For fun I've considered 4096x2160 video at 60 fps, encoded in RGB with 12 bits per pixel. (however unlikely using RGB might be)
That's 2278 MiB per second of video, camera wouldn't even be able to write that to its storage.
You can also add controller cards. PCIe 4x 2.0 card - goes in either 4x slot or 16x slot - has 2GB/s to play with, which is enough for the newer stuff.
Cheap PCIe 1x 2.0 card with an ASMedia SATA 6 Gbps controller (two ports) is good enough, even if the bus limits it to a theoretical 500MB/s.
Vista was before iphone and ominous google crap. Fuck, I would install it if I had more RAM.
With the Pro version I infer you have downgrade rights, not available on the Home version.
How about this : the 2048 core ARM server appears as a collection of 256 8-core systems that appear virtually independent (such systems already exist : 16 core ARM that's a collection of four quad core on one die, with massive on-chip buses and on-die I/O and goodies but otherwise it's four CPU that are shared-nothing between them)
The Intel system appears as a single machine with 128 cores.
Intel wins, mostly.
For mini-jack to dual RCA cable (line level audio) you can absolutely go for the cheapest cable. Sometimes a more expensive cable will have a complicated RCA connector that breaks down.
Absolute POWER corrupts everything.
I even had an incandescent explode (or more accurately implode) when turning it on.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
