You have to get the TLD recognised by the root DNS servers, or get everyone to add new root servers that recognise the alternative TLDs.

Same reason LetsEncrypt languished for years before they first got a trusted cert provider to let them issue blanket certs, and then they got their own root certs trusted by all the browsers. But that took years.

Intel has suffered from having fuck-you money since the 1980s. Such companies can suffer from accumulating faddish management and misallocating resources. Intel is a poster child example of this.

That's ended very recently. Intel's net income graphs since 2022 are astonishing: the wheels fell off entirely. We'll see if they get their poop back in a group with Panther Lake next week. It's looking pretty solid.

IRIX was the origin of XFS in Linux. The design and command line syntax of the LVM subsystem in Linux was modeled after the HP-UX LVM implementation: HP's LVM was a leading implementation at the time and it worked well: I used it on HP-UX servers for backing up Oracle volumes, among other things.

Itanium was the longest lived (25 years) of Intel's various failed attempts to kill x86. It obviously failed in this regard, but it was successful at killing other RISC CPU architectures, including PA-RISC and Alpha.

Previous attempts include iAPX 432, i960 and i860, all now consigned to the dustbin of history, along with IA-64 (Itanium,) although the i960 had some success in embedded IO controllers.

With the end of 2025, the last commercial support obligations for Itanium hardware have ended as well. Essentially, Itanium finally, officially died 4 days ago.

Throw your phone and your computer away NOW. Most of the technology in it were developed in Israel.

Are wood elves in charge in the world you live in?

TLDR. Have you considered suicide?

Not really, depends on the severity of the issue and whether it has been understood adequately enough.

A few of the unmanned Apollo test flights had significant issues for which fixes were only tested in the subsequent crewed flight, for example.

The Starliner capsule had so many issues across multiple missions that it requires a successful uncrewed mission - its the exception, not the rule.

Usually it does. They're ugly, smelly, socially inept and annoying at the very least. Banning them from any event had never been a detriment and is usually a net positive. Nothing of value is ever lost. Some quaint media depictions notwithstanding, nerds are not tech geniuses and are at best average in the tech-savvy area. Real technical professionals are easy-going, well-mannered and socially genial. By all means ban the abhumans from any social event and let them simmer in their powerless rage. They can foam at the mouth, tap their little feet and shake their pudgy fists but they're no threat. If they get too noisy, just pepper-spray them in the eyes and baton them until they start crying, then laugh at them.

No, it is not. Andy Grove explained this to you and the rest of the Western world 15 years ago, with reasons and examples. Every word of what he wrote then was self-evident to any thinking person at the time, and has only become more so since.

Europe should indeed correct its mistakes. Mistake #1 being evolving into the planet's "bedroom community" where nearly everything of value is made elsewhere, by others.

Why would anyone bring a Raspberry Pi to a mayoral inauguration? Maybe that could happen unwittingly, being embedded in some media equipment or whatnot, but someone knowingly walking around with a RPi?

Doesn't make sense that anyone would imagine this is an actual "security" problem.

Stop propagating the Republican myth that the USPS is a failed organization - it is not, and the only reason the Republicans push that bullshit is to further their control over it, and justify selling it off.

Blame? Why blame? I'd replace each and every computah weirdo with a rubber chicken. Face it: nerdinhos: your skills are mundane, there ain't no worker(?) more toxic than your forsaken kind, and the sooner you go extinct the better. You're a smelly, sorry bunch of arrogant mysogynistic incel turds who should be shoveled into a furnace. Indians are good, genial, hard workers who do not harbour the ridiculous notion that tapping on a semen- and dorito-encrusted keyboard makes them superheroes. Meanwhile AI has made all of you losers redundant at last. Security will escort you out among the cheers of the female personnel and if you get uppity you will be pepper-sprayed and batoned.
