The thing is that Windows is actually UCS-2, a consequence of the OS predating UTF-16 by a few years, and coming into existence when Unicode originally thought 16 bits was going to be enough. For backwards compatibility with old file system

Not that it counters any point you're making, but ZFS displays the number of contained entries of a directory in the directory's size field; mind that . and .. are included, so you usually need to subtract 2 to get the count you a

Sneakernet was common also. Say you have a class of 30 kids, and one of them has access to Usenet to grab qcrack.zip. He'll put it on a floppy disk and share ;)

Mind that every Quake release includes the same soundtrack, it's not just the shareware version ;) There's millions of such CDs in the wild, both shareware and fully purchased copies.

I guess they could have done a public/private key pair in 1996, but doing that over a phone call was going to be painful. A simple password read over the phone and verified by the software was the best solution at the time. Mind, this

the SQLite archive format (it's probably worth linking to the main documentation[1], instead of the very old experimental repository) may not really be a good fit for something like GIMP's native file format. (To be clear, "

Guix solves the same problem in similar ways, though it uses Scheme as its configuration language.

Different use cases than QEMU, honestly, to the point that there's not much overlap. QEMU is extremely good at running modern operating systems, and not so much at older ones (DOS and Win9x are pretty sore points in QEMU). 86Box is e

Funny part is, that NFSv4 supports SIDs for user authentication, but the Linux implementation leaves it out (among all the other ACL features) simply on the basis that Linux doesn't support them at all. The FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X,

Consider Fossil[1], which packages the entire repository state—code history, wiki, tickets, forum—into a single file, and that state gets cloned. When/if you need to change hosting providers, you get to lose zero data in Fossil because

Delphi and Lazarus are still kicking, the latter is free and open source. I know you asked for "the language", but Object Pascal really ain't that bad to get around. If you were proficient in VB6, you should be fine adapting

Too vague of a question to give you an answer you'll likely sound satisfactory :) You probably just needed to create indexes over your data to speed things up.

This is a current architectural limitation, manifests (defining check-ins) and tickets are different types of artifacts and you cannot combine the card types into the same artifact. Changing this would likely break backwards compatibility
