Thrashing, and yes, I couldn't even ssh into the box.

So isn't the collapse of a Ponzi scheme in Bitcoin validation of the value of the currency?

No. It is however validation of the infinite stupidity of people.

"Fucked up right from the ground" meaning that I can install 15-year-old software on it and have it run perfectly?

Did you every read about how they worked long hours fixing other people's bugs so that popular software packages would still run on Windows 95? Why? Because if a game worked on Windows 3.1 but didn't work on 95, people weren't going to say "those game programmers are bad". They were going to say "Windows 95 sucks".

Um, so what you're saying is that you don't understand programming?

If you don't want to rewrite it, then leave it alone. I have DirectX 3 games that will still run perfectly well under DirectX 11. Or do you also rewrite your code every time a new OpenGL extension comes out?

"It works for me" is not compelling. I use Linux on a daily basis at work, and I really don't like it. For instance, on Monday I locked up my workstation with a bad 'grep' command.

Please provide a scientific definition of 'kind'.

And what does any of that have to do with your desire to teach your children bullshit and lies?

Policy makers should focus on making development more walkable.

You're talking about a country where people literally get back into their car to drive to a different parking spot at the stripmall so they won't have to walk as far to the next store.

(Lameness filter is lame.)

The people that did the original work? The Apple shareholders?

the only way for a company to distinguish itself is to innovate faster than the competition can copy.

Or wait until someone else does the real work, then copy them with a couple of bug fixes. Which doesn't promote innovation at all.

Cool. You can put it on the same shelf with your Indrema.

Yeah, I get it. I can't imagine how you don't find it depressing.

No, they said they got better performance out of OpenGL. X is still a bloated, obsolete piece of shit.
