Apple would want to avoid a Windows RT debacle. Rebadging the mac mini as an ARM HTPC might work, where there's no confusion it'll run amd64 Photoshop.

If developers are (have been recently) still producing fat binaries for PPC, adding a checkbox for ARMv8 in Xcode doesn't seem a stretch.

Christians too.

Like the time the western church was on the way to palestine, took a wrong turn and conquered the Greek-speaking Eastern Roman Empire at Constantinople. (4h crusade)

It surprises me that Google doesn't actually have their own online 'newspaper'. They could employ an editor to create a mashup of the best stories online, with a profit-sharing arrangement on ads.

I'd prefer a dedicated web page than, say, facebook injecting clickbait through their universally hated 'Top Stories'.

my two local newspapers have introduced paywalls, with a minimal number of free articles a month. One is fairly decent, the other is Rupert's trashy tabloid, complete with celebrity gossip and miracle weight loss cures. Syndicating the former through Google could reach an international audience, along with selected articles from other online sources and Google's ubiquity would ensure those articles chosen need not be subscription only.

But usually I stick to abc.net.au via RSS for news, despite the vandals in the federal government wanting to destroy it. 8 cents a day...

Immigrants, often on student visas, are the only ones willing to work for taxi companies on "shitty" pay?

since exactly when is Java-integration zero overhead?

When the organisation you're developing for is a 'Java shop'. The selling point here for Kawa over, say, Racket is that a solution can be deployed to a Java EE container.

Oxymoron?

It all leads back to Rupert and his Foxtel service.

I remember Maelstrom.

It put Andrew Welch on the map as a game developer, 22 years ago.

I read somewhere that NTVDM isn't supported in x86-64 because "long mode" won't execute "8086 Virtual Mode".

Yet supposedly MS could resurrect the software for 64 bit Windows by running the software via the VT-x CPU extension present in most recent x86-64 CPU revisions.

But I guess the effort to make the NTVDM subsystem 64 bit clean isn't worth it...

a Start menu, didn't Microsoft remove that for security reasons?

Sorry Canonical but haven't Jolla already stolen your thunder?

Oracle's proprietary binaries are still the most common way of installing Java on operating systems without a package manager.

Red Hat were planning on contributing resources to the Windows port, iirc.

Well the registration page indicates you need an ios or android device to complete the initialization
