reconfiguring your kernel by doing

# cd /sys/`arch -k`/config # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL # vi MYKERNEL # config MYKERNEL # cd ../MYKERNEL # make # cp /vmunix /vmunix.save # cp vmunix /vmunix # shutdown -r now

lol quark

watching that company burn itself to the ground out of pure hubris was so satisfying

gods yes

Quark were always such idiots about people copying software, Gill et al were obsessed with the idea that someone might possibly have not given them exactly the right amount of money for what they were using and spent far more effort on that than on the actual software

before QuarkXPress one of their big claims to fame was Quark Catalyst, which was an application launcher for Apple II and III thing that let you use copy-protected software—using their protection scheme—“legitimately” from a hard disk

they used a hardware dongle for their Word Juggler word processor and even in that era everybody recognized them as extremely customer-hostile

the issue is that the next acquisition got them not just the next-gen os they wanted, it got them the ceo they desperately needed to stay alive

and a whole bunch of technical staff and management who played important roles in saving Apple from bankruptcy too

like, the Apple Online Store was done by people from the WebObjects team, they wrote it in a very short amount of time and it was able to do serious revenue very quickly at a point where that was critical to the company’s survival

without SJ there also wouldn’t have been iTunes or the label deals, without the WebObjects team there wouldn’t have been the iTunes Music Store itself

and lots of behind the scenes things like that

the problem with new java features is that none of them can actually be compiled down to work with older bytecode, so you have to wait for a certain jre level to work its way into the mainstream, which depending on your market segment can be a very long time

just implement a new bytecode interpreter atop the old one, easy

some players probably had low end hardware decoders that only did the standard or well known profiles while other players either used software or had higher end hardware decoders that were more parameterized

also CPUs were getting faster then at an insane rate so even just getting a new computer might let someone enable universally-supported codec features that would have taken forever to encode on a previous generation CPU

the better you parameterize your encoding, the better the quality you can get for the same bit rate—people still gently caress around with all that today in trying to save space on Blu-Ray and stream rips or whatever (if they’re poors who can’t save the raws)
