Yeah, I think it was one of those Windows CE or Embedded POSReady editions.

I imagine so. Most I had encountered of that era ran on Socket 7 boards, and most used the Pentium clone CPUs, apparently since they were more cost-effective (and also more powerful).

Yeah, I remember from over a decade ago that a lot of store register systems used Windows 2000 or some custom version of NT and ran the software to work with the register hardware and handle credit/debit card transactions. A lot used a Socket 7 motherboard using an AMD CPU. On 2 occasions, I told cl...

You might want to try a different supported FS and see if the problem remains.

Yeah, we want good fame, not infamy.

This is something ROS could improve upon when we do the whole NT6 thing. Rather than have a slider, have a page of tickmarks. The problem with the UAC slider is that it enables and disables things in groups. A power user would rather be able to alter security settings one at a time. So someone can a...

Yeah, sadly, it won't help us. The older tech we are using is protected by attrition (ie., it's been over 14 years).

Be careful there. Short agreement comments are what spammers tend to use. But if such comments are sincere, then they tend to be welcomed and appreciated.

I didn't read it that way. By "were," I think the poster meant "were to give"... So if Axel were to have given more detail on what is questionable, then we would know which of our developers put it in ROS, and thus we'd know who to ask about how they came to code that code or choose whatever symbol ...

Maybe even try disabling USB in the CMOS or whatever hardware setup.

Yeah, agreed, wait until it is more stable. That would change the type of mascot too I think. Right now, a fast but clumsy amputee or anorexic girl on her cell phone, who isn't that pretty might be appropriate. In other words, someone who isn't all there and who'd crash into things. Maybe we can wor...

So a "news" outlet picks up what was said on Quora, a Q&A site that I believe from firsthand experience supports defamation against certain groups of people, and censorship. In the interest of fair disclosure, I was banned from Quora because I dared to question the status quo and establishment views...

No, plus it would not hold up in court.

Plus it just expired today if I am reading it right.

Yeah, it would only be good if we can reasonably offer them a platform within a reasonable time. Otherwise, they'd be Linux-only before we are ready to be of use.

Yes, a native DirectX would be nice, but we run into the problem like in the mouse fable. A bunch of mice were tired of running from the cat. They formed a committee to figure out what could be done. Someone finally suggested that one of the mice should hang a bell on the cat's collar. Then the lead...

"Expect" does NOT imply that you are giving orders! I can say "I expect Windows 12 to suck even worse than Windows 10" but that doesn't mean that I want Microsoft to make it happen. Thank you. I think many of us would expect Windows 14 or whatever their next thing after that will be called to suck ...
