It's usually the last person who talked with him.
That worked so well for Loki (do you remember them?). What Valve is doing is bringing Windows APIs to Linux
This is entirely the thing. Loki games can or at least could be coaxed to work on Linux with Loki_Compat libraries, but last time I tried to run Alpha Centauri for Linux even that wouldn't work — and I'm even still using X. But add to that, the Linux versions of games are frequently inferior. The Loki games are included in that, for example in AlphaC for Linux you cannot ctrl-shift-a automate formers only near their supporting base. Fast forward to a more modern game like Civ VI, and there's a huge slew of features and even leaders you can't get access to with the Linux version. Meanwhile, the Windows version runs better on Linux than it does on Windows.
I haven't heard the OS/2 thing, what's that about? I figure it failed because Microsoft was already doing "good enough" with Windows, plus NT had relatively meaningful security and OS/2 didn't.
I like having serious conversations on Slashdot at least as much as the next nerd, but arguments on Slashdot can only be taken slightly seriously today. There's a lot of people here who are not arguing in good faith.
I'm in the UK, and I clearly remember a school textbook with drawn pictures of Trafalgar Square fully iced up. This would be early 80s.
I'm in the US, and I remember news articles about this idea. They passed quickly. If you wound up with a textbook with such ideas in it presented as anything other than a possibility which had been or could be researched, that is unfortunate, but it is not indicative of anything widespread.
Let's not deny that bad information has been given in the past.
Nobody is denying that at all. Nobody is even denying that there was a global cooling article fad. What was different about the global cooling scare from AGW's broad scientific consensus is that it didn't have broad scientific consensus.
Looks like Privacy Badger is at least preventing it from playing.
As far as I can tell, the "current serious effects" are always handwavy
Your lack of perception is irrelevant.
'look at all the people that die from heat!' (invariably after a hot week in summer; again routinely and repeatedly debunked by statistics that show 6-10x more people die from cold than heat
And now we see what it stems from, a total lack of logic. Run along now.
Microsoft's effort is about as competent as it can be in that it's seamless and *most* things sort of work. However *most* is not the same as *all* which is what people expect when they run Windows.
Again, people with no experience maybe.
I don't remember who first pointed this out to me but these things are now computers on wheels
I'll take Antique Jokes for $100, Alex.
What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.
You cannot make a market freer by removing all regulations. That's a total misunderstanding of how markets work.
