Des pourparlers sur un cessez-le-feu prévus jeudi matin

(2022-03-02_06-10-00 (avec AFP, Belga))


- Joe Biden s’en est pris avec force à Vladimir Poutine, un “dictateur” qui est “plus isolé que jamais”, pendant que Moscou intensifiait son offensive en Ukraine, frappant Kiev et la grande ville de Kharkiv.

- Les pourparlers reprennent ce mercredi entre Russes et Ukrainiens.

- L’armée a procédé à de nouvelles frappes aériennes sur Kiev et Kharkiv. La tour de télévision a été touchée dans la capitale ukrainienne, faisant 5 morts. La plupart des chaînes semblaient fonctionner normalement une heure après l’attaque. A Kharkiv, le bilan des frappes s’élève en deux jours à 29 morts

- Les autorités ukrainiennes ont annoncé que 2.000 civils ont été tués depuis le début de l’offensive russe.

Brief History Of Linux (#17)
Terrible calamity

IBM chose Microsoft's Quick & Dirty Operating System instead of CP/M for
its new line of PCs. QDOS (along with the abomination known as EDLIN) had
been acquired from a Seattle man, Tim Paterson, for the paltry sum of
$50,000. "Quick" and "Dirty" were truly an accurate description of this
system, because IBM's quality assurance department discovered 300 bugs in
QDOS's 8,000 lines of assember code (that's about 1 bug per 27 lines --
which, at the time, was appalling, but compared with Windows 98 today, it
really wasn't that shabby).

Thanks in part to IBM's new marketing slogan, "Nobody Ever Got Fired For
Choosing IBM(tm)", and the release of the VisiCalc spreadsheet program
that everybody and their brother wanted, IBM PCs running DOS flew off the
shelves and, unfortunately, secured Microsoft's runaway success. Bill
Gates was now on his way to the Billionaire's Club; his days as a mediocre
programmer were long gone: he was now a Suit. The only lines of code he
would ever see would be the passcodes to his Swiss bank accounts.
