My grandma said she wanted to see it because it looks like a laugh.

If you are in China, may as well give up before you begin. "It's from Chiiiina ! Must be spam !" or alternatively "China ! Hackers ! Hide the women and children !"

After a while it gets to be not worth the hassle.

China bad, you know. Meanwhile, Crocs walks out of Guangdong owing their vendors seventy million dollars. "Just a business decision, mateys ! Later, much !"

100% agree about the "whole country ban" concept. I really dislike excessive spam control. It's worse than excessive DRM with me.

"Ban Russia/Ukraine/Belarus! Ban China!"

My spammers seem to be Indian and American.

This is just a nifty little suggestion that I'd like to say someone should do sometime.

A theme (AKA Style AKA whatever phpBB calls it) with IRIX/SGI machines on it would be pretty suiting for the forum. It would also be kinda funny if there were a more "Neko" theme to Nekochan.

I'd probably still like to use this default theme, though. Some of us don't adapt to change very well.

A newer webbrowser than Firefox 3. Maybe something webkit-based?

Also a newer office suite than OpenOffice 1 would be great. What about Libreoffice?

Another really great thing to port would be the Telegram messenger (Source Code available here: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop ). Especially this one would be really really great to have on my Octane.

Thanks if something of it is possible!

You'd be very lucky if one version of FF with a JIT got ported, yet alone a whole different program.

If JVM works well on IRIX, maybe you'll get a newer OpenOffice, but probably not.

Telegram...well maybe that can be ported, but Pavel Durov would probably remove it due to lack of updates in the future, and it may not work for very long due to maintenance concerns.

Or maybe the guy who resigned from his company and blamed the government when he couldn't get his job back from an angry board would keep it, if you're lucky.

Well, the reason I said it wouldn't work out is exactly because it's alive. If they update their protocol like an ordinary messenger, it will gradually break the IRIX version, since we'll be too short-staffed to maintain it.

they should've kept the build system tho. libressl comes with a bunch of crap such as hardcoded, gcc specific cflags and such

Well that's retarded. But apparently not as retarded as the OpenSSL codebase:

Even if only a tiny fraction of what he's saying is accurate, wow wwwww .. .

Well, I can understand not re-implementing libc?

The drop-in replacement part, though...not supporting everything the original supports, just "what people will probably use"? This sounds tolerable for me given I probably won't ever need any of the things they've removed but I still don't like the idea of intentionally not supporting things and then saying "drop-in replacement".

It was okay. I expected worse, so it was decent.

The actual connection to the original Jurassic canon (InGen itself) was very contrived; that's the biggest thing that bothered me. It was so contrived I was wondering if InGen was just included as some company's name as a nod to the original.

I miss the Colbert Report. The recap episode before Colbert took his spot was alright.

It was supposed to be a business that explores a new way of creating revenue.
Then it became 90s.
By the time I started Ekunia as a teenager (still unprofitable but then again I only worked weekends and promised to never actually pay anyone whenever they wanted to be my employee), it was a thing where some guys wanted to get in on some fad like Clojure or your favorite PHP framework.
Now it seems that startups are a form of subsidiary controlled by powerful VCs that have become skilled enough at negotiation to actually control the companies in their investment portfolios. Wouldn't recommend the VC route.
Kickstarter started as a thing I would have trusted (although it had too much red tape for my startup) until people began seemingly throwing money at it in ways to make it look less credible. It seems like a bunch of idiots don't know how to spend their money properly, and a bunch of dumb startup teams get overconfident because a lot of McDonald's employees with $15 minimum wage in Seattle will throw money at you.
