First volume is "Inherit the Stars"

(The first book in the series stands by itself, the sequels are good, but not as good and not really needed for the core ideas.)

It would be real nice if reporters could tell the difference between "suggests" and "proof"

Well one of us is.

True. But infinitely better than no modem at all, which is where I was as a broke student. I begged & borrowed hardware all through my schooling. My desktop in 1993 was a 286 with a monochrome screen and no hard drive.

And QNX? A quality product, but what's a student with a 286 going to do with that?

Bingo

Amusingly, in while taking first year university courses in 1993, I placed second in a programming competition that was sponsored by OTI (now IBM) and QNX (now Blackberry).

First prize was a licensed copy of QNX, second prize was a 2400 baud modem. I think I got a better deal with the modem.

HMMVW is an obscure insider term in the same sense that CPU is. The commenter simply assumed that the reader was not completely clueless about military vehicles.

I suppose the next thing you're going to say is that we shouldn't talk about JDAM or TOW to avoid confusing those kids whose dial up can't handle google.

It really is.

How much different remains to be seen.

This.

I'm pretty sure you could copy and paste 95% of the content from reviews of Windows 95 right into Win 10 reviews and nobody would blink an eye.

[NB. I have been testing Win 10 on non-production desktops for a few months, and I kind of like it. Despite having 20 years of linux experience and being a Java/Eclipse/J2EE "expert" I spent most of last weekend running Visual Studio 2015 on a Windows 10 VM and I didn't feel the need to scrub my skin clean with coarse sand, so things are looking pretty good.]

... and bacon.

I know of major corporations that only STARTED their Win 7 ADOPTIONS in the fall of 2014, so I expect this to be the default.

I think you mean Phiction.

As would I, unfortunately anyone wealthy enough to take that on is unlikely to consider it worth the effort in terms of opportunity cost. (i.e. If you can afford the legal fees you can also afford to completely write off the laptop and move on with your life because that's even cheaper and easier.)

The linked page was for hardware developers to submit their drivers to Microsoft so that they can be included in updates.

But I'm sure you realized that...

Your poor, poor bastard.
