If they’d released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn’t keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.
Solaris was such an amazing OS.

I dont have a dog in this fight.
Of course you do. Allowing borders to be redrawn by force isn’t good for stability anywhere.
Agreed. I think a huge part of it is down to how many kids are vaping here too. Saw an interview with the Taoiseach (prime minister) and he said 13% of 12-17 year olds had vaped in the last 30 days. Pretty crazy number.
I heard about a guy once, who was a POW, and his friend wanted him to keep a watch for his son so he shoved it way up there.
The reference for the younger among us.
We don’t really have that whole active shooter thing here tbh.
He doesn’t strike me as violent, just a self important cunt.
Our small company paid a prominent (of that specific driver) open source driver writer for prioritisation of some work more than once. All the code was GPL.
I know it’s only one data point but it’s one way.
I know, right?!?
I have actually heard about that. Google “gutter oil” if you want some nightmares. They are working on food safety hard though.
Yeah Western China is basically empty. It’s very mountainous and the land is not fertile.
I mean, it’s still a largely rural country
Not so. Wikipedia has a decent article but here’s the crux of it:
By the end of 2023, China had an urbanization rate of 66.2% and is expected to reach 75-80% by 2035
The cities are massive and really densely populated. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are about 90 minutes apart by car if memory serves and account for about 35M people. Hong Kong is an hour south of Shenzhen by train and that’s another ~8M.
I’ve spent a decent bit of time there on a few work trips. Never saw differentiation of eggs in supermarkets (or restaurants). Eggs be eggs.
A huge number of folks are just coming into non-poverty since the turn of the century so it would seem entirely plausible to me that chicken comfort wouldn’t be a thing there just like it wasn’t in the west until comparatively recently and still isn’t for a huge part of the population.
Apart from that it’s really very different culturally. They just view things through an entirely different (and interesting) lens.
Some days, I even think maybe I might be a good person too
You sound like a good person to me. That level of self reflection rarely / never leads to being a shithead in my experience.
Crazy story but a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
Fingers crossed!
It depends. I have a ritual of watching a Star Trek series start to finish with my kids when they’re around 10-12. Currently watching Voyager season 5 with my 10 year old and we do savour that intro occasionally but not always. I’d say maybe one in five times we’ll watch it.
It’s a long intro at nearly two minutes but it’s such a good one. Great music, great graphics, super setting.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!
he claims his mouth can’t be numbed
This is a thing. My wife has to get lots of extra shots of the gum numbing stuff. Her first dentist as a kid didn’t believe her that she could still feel and it caused her huge trauma.
Delicious.
That’s my understanding. It’s a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.
