Also in some corners it means "for f*ck's sake", cut down for effing effect. Which echoes my thoughts after the first para of the post.

Obvious troll post, innit?

SDF.org doesn't need a phone number.

Picked: Because UTC is hardly 'U', and imposes a rampant heliocentricitism. If anything, it can purport to be at most GTC, which would be good enough for a while longer I suppose.

To be precise: the European Union doesn't welcome you, it welcomes your petition to be welcomed by it. Lest we fail to avoid making things needlessly forth-right.

When I read the source and started on the comments, I thought: won't be long until someone drops in TCC. But yes, TCC does limit you in this regard a bit.

Presumably because people were buying once every four years?

The requirements were practically negligible for its era, and the leap it represented. I have installed and used it at length on 386 with 8MB on a 210MB disk. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't pretty bad either. Perhaps (on appropriate hardware) it wasn't as solid as NT 4, but before XP (which is 2000 which is NT, even if simplifying it) there weren't many "polished enough" _and_ "affordable enough" windowing systems for the masses. Classic Mac OS was very polished but not very affordable, and it didn't even have pre-emptive multiprocessing. UNIX had either a high cost of entry if you're talking workstations (Suns and SGIs were polished but expensive) or man-hours to acclimatize (try running X11 in 1995, then compare to Windows 95).

Eh.

In any case, to bring it back. It was good enough. Nowadays, I often hope for a minimal Windows 10 that will be out of the way enough to approach Windows 95.

Link still won't work...

I think the point is that your life doesn't reach the point where you steal $1m worth of gold without a few ripples of insanity appearing here or there. It appears it takes a confluence of chaos for such a heist to manifest.

Link won't work...

NB, this is regarding OneDrive for Business only.

There is a point behind prohibiting "just about everyone" from having access to easy gunpowder. Consider how "just about everyone" includes anything from anti-social prankers to vengeful people with no concern for collateral, to plain `terrorists`.

After this catches on, you should also make an askadev.out.
