Alas, the TechRepublic article is rather inaccurate. Please read the official news on our website about ReactOS 0.4.
Submission + - 800,000 year old footprints of a family found on Britain's eastern coast (sfgate.com)
schwit1 writes: They were a British family on a day out — almost a million years ago.
Archaeologists announced Friday that they have discovered human footprints in England that are between 800,000 and 1 million years old — the most ancient found outside Africa, and the earliest evidence of human life in northern Europe.
A team from the British Museum, London's Natural History Museum and Queen Mary college at the University of London uncovered imprints from up to five individuals in ancient estuary mud at Happisburgh on the country's eastern coast.

Submission + - Google Tech Talk: The Crazy Open Source Attempt To Rewrite Windows From Scratch (youtube.com) 1
jeditobe writes: In this talk, Alex Ionescu, lead kernel developer for the ReactOS project since 2004 (and recently returning after a long hiatus) will talk about the project's current state, having just passed revision 60000 in the SVN repository. Alex will also cover some of the project's goals, the development and testing methodology being such a massive undertaking (an open source project to reimplement all of Windows from scratch!), partnership with other open source projects (MinGW, Wine, Haiku, etc...).
Alex will talk both about the infrastructure side about running such a massive OS project (but without Linux's corporate resources), as well as the day-to-day development challenges of a highly distributed team and the lack of Win32 internals knowledge that makes it hard to recruit. Finally, Alex will do a few demos of the OS, try out a few games and applications, Internet access, etc, and of course, show off a few blue screens of death.

That's right, rumours are that we plan to launch a kickstarter campaign for something based on ReactOS within a week.
Comment Reduce price! (Score 1) 242
Why not just reduce price and thus not "loose" energy? Why whenever I come to Europe, all I hear is "energy saving" by all means, when it turns out they just loose the energy instead of selling it cheaper?
There could be a special, cheap night tariff for electricity, and it would solve the problem way better than spending huge amount of money on building an artificial island.

It's a perfect chance for ReactOS, and we won't miss it.
Submission + - BitCoin gets futures market (icbit.se)
fireballrus writes: There is one more way to use your BitCoins rather than buying weed or socks. Not that long ago a Bitcoin Exchange called ICBIT almost quietly introduced futures market, obviously using Bitcoins as a main currency. Gold futures trades roughly at 137 BTC/tr.oz and Sweet Crude Oil at 7.3 BTC/bbl.
In fact, this may play a positive role in the Bitcoin economy which needs more ways to actually "use" coins instead of mining them.

Very nice question, and as long as it has the highest score, it will make its way into the interview.

Some of my readers ask me what a "Serial Port" is. The answer is: I don't know. Is it some kind of wine you have with breakfast?
