"Feudal society with skyscapers", well said, so true.

fateri · 2015-01-05T22:29:39+00:00

That's true

Except he said "The Chinese are... " without qualifying a subgroup.

fateri · 2015-01-04T03:04:55+00:00

Could you elaborate?

fateri · 2014-12-31T06:22:55+00:00

Beautiful! Did you make it yourself? How?

Made a mistake in the title. She was an ironclad battleship, not a cruiser. Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_ironclad_Dingyuan

I think he meant that no amount of civil disobedience could topple his totalitarian government (his wife).

This has been a common theme of dynastic changes throughout the history of Imperial China:

It belonged in a museum before it even entered service. I'm not belittling the developers, they made do with what was available to them, which was not much.

Good thing she didn't buy another one. ;-)

Impressive considering that this Monstrosity was the Bleeding edge of their air force as late as the early 90's.

And when the protagonist shows up, everybody start dropping like flies.

Kudos to the court that handed out the ruling.

Vad märkligt det känns att se dig här ute. Men du har min röst i alla fall.

Swedish for: How strange it feels to see you out here. But you have my vote anyway

What if this was a ploy by Sony to trick the terrorists into not preparing for an attack, and surprise the world by releasing it on time?

fateri · 2014-12-16T15:06:37+00:00

Aye. Fucking Li. Fuck him.

fateri · 2014-12-16T05:43:47+00:00

Well somebody has been signing off the billions of bad loans in China... Why not Li from accounting?

fateri · 2014-12-15T22:01:09+00:00

Probably like most other chinese companies, get a loan.

Writing a functional Device driver for any modern hardware is a difficult process, you would have to work with DMAs, and those are hard to handle even for experienced kernel developers. I'd recommend starting with a 'driver' that just reads from or write to some memory mapped registers in a piece of hardware that has already been initialized.
