They've since switched to MIPS asm.

Honestly, I think something saner like M68k would have been better, or failing that 32-bit NASM on a then-modern platform like Win32 or *nix.

Oh dear god. My alma mater had an absolute dinosaur chairing the CS dept. In 2001 he still taught machine organization using 8086 assembly language on MS-DOS, which (among other things) was intended as an intro to assembly.

Minix 3 is no longer aimed solely at education. It's now trying to become general-purpose.

Libertarian masturbatory fantasies involving guns.

HAHAHAHAHA

No, I've had a genuine gray-label 1391401 as my daily driver (made in 1988) for a little over ten years now. I've had a 104-key USB Unicomp at work for almost six. I've thought about getting a Unicomp for home too now that more things are using the Windows key, but that probably won't happen for a while.

*eyeroll*

Ctrl-Esc does the same thing. You just don't get the Windows-key shortcuts that you've been missing all these years, like always.

Drones are smaller, harder to see, and can stay up for a lot longer than a manned aircraft.

Maybe I'm totally naive here, but why not optionally make it a 3-pass indexer, with the third pass doing a file-content index on the files shown by pass #2 to be documents?

You do recall. :P

MS-DOS, not that abortion known as Amiga DOS. :P

Security? Pah. DOS doesn't have any security whatsoever. Viruses spread by infected floppies were fairly common.

There are programs which can do this for you. They basically set up an idle loop and can be tuned to the speed you need.

Bah, too fancy. My prompt:

set prompt=Master, what is thy bidding$_in directory $p$g?

which makes a prompt of:

Master, what is thy bidding
in directory C:\DOS>?

Yech. I had to do that a lot with the school's old ImageWriter IIs. The paper was apparently cheap so it was common to tear up your work because the perforated bits wouldn't tear but the rest of the paper would.

Sure it is. The gas giant's atmosphere provides the fuel, and that's one of the hard parts.
