That's my understanding. It's a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.

If they'd released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn't keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.

Solaris was such an amazing OS.

What a great twist. I've had solid success with ChatGPT for stuff like that in the past so put your description in and it couldn't come up with anything.

It did give some useful information which I can paste in here if you don't have an account?

Mostly it was asking if you could remember any other detail like character names, setting or even tone of the writing.

I dont have a dog in this fight.

Of course you do. Allowing borders to be redrawn by force isn't good for stability anywhere.

Agreed. I think a huge part of it is down to how many kids are vaping here too. Saw an interview with the Taoiseach (prime minister) and he said 13% of 12-17 year olds had vaped in the last 30 days. Pretty crazy number.

 

The sale of disposable vapes is set to be banned under proposals going to Cabinet.

The Minister for Health is expected to get Government approval to draft these laws which will ban the sale, manufacture or import of single-use or disposable vapes in Ireland.

Stephen Donnelly plans to introduce this ban on environmental and public health grounds.

Well I am delighted. €13.1B + the 1.2 in interest represents what will be a bump of 16% of total tax revenue compared to 2023 (€88B total). There are lots of things that money can be used for.

I heard about a guy once, who was a POW, and his friend wanted him to keep a watch for his son so he shoved it way up there.

The reference for the younger among us.

Must be great to have such a consistent shipper of arms that lets you use them however you want.

Wow. That's fascinating, thanks for the details. Interesting that you're mostly seeing pro-Trump stuff as from the article the dems are outspending the Trump campaign.

 

An Australian man is set to appear in court after being arrested for the alleged theft of more than A$600,000 (€359,880) worth of commemorative coins linked to the popular children's television show "Bluey", police said.

The 47-year-old is accused of stealing 63,000 unreleased, limited-edition A$1 coins from a secure warehouse in the Sydney suburb of Wetherill Park in June, according to "Strike Force Bandit", a special unit police set up to investigate the theft.

"Strike Force Bandit" is honestly an incredible name. For those not familiar with the show the father is called Bandit.

 

I do it too.

For those not in the know: England are facing Spain in the final of the Euro football championship.

 

This is a year old but I'd never come across it before.

 
 

South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that "some of the fallen balloons carried what appears to be faeces judging from its dark colour and odour".

 
 

"All the little bits"

 

Senator Kevin Cramer also said that Mike Johnson clearly expressed his intention to help Ukraine.

"He was pretty clear about it,"

Sounds positive.

 

A nice story for a bit of a change. This one's about kids from Ukraine who have settled in the West of Ireland. They seem very happy in the video.

Looks like Paul is in the "Find Out" stage. Apologies for the potato quality.

Edit: just for clarity, not spotted by me. My best friend sent me this
