Re: TheRegister: "ReactOS ‘a ripoff of the Windows Research Kernel’ claims Microsoft kernel engineer"
I think it’s highly improbable that a reimplementation of that magnitude came so close from the original in so many respects. I’ve been conducting interviews for years and screened some of the best and most promising future engineers coming from the best universities and I always ask the same codin...

Re: Windows Linux includes full Linux OS w/ext4 file system
Can you clarify how your idea is different from Linux with WINE?

Re: ReactOS recovers from a low memory situation...
Sure, but you'd have to test thoroughly and prove that it wouldn't break compatibility with any Windows programs and drivers.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] ReactOS as a second OS in Russian government
What does a country's internet censorship have to do with ReactOS?
So by your logic, if the US government were to fund a free open source software project, then the people who work on that project condone all the human rights violations and terrorism committed by the United States?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] ReactOS as a second OS in Russian government
Because the internet is the one space where freedom of expression is still relatively possible and where dissent is still common. This is generally true provided that you own the domain, pay for the web hosting, and live in a country that won't disappear you for typing something critical about your...

Re: Upload filters
If you're so concerned about upload filters, stop hosting reactos.org in Germany. The WHOIS lookups say the webhost/datacenter is Hetzner. https://git.reactos.org https://www.reactos.org The above need would to switch to a web host in a non-EU/EEA country, such as a Swiss or Russian host. Then you d...

They're not going to go after random forum posts or code commits... these law is meant to protect garbage music and videos by EU-based publishers that are copyrighted.

Re: Trying to get companies to support ReactOS
Please pardon my thickheadedness. I don't understand the meaning of the phrase "driver support for ReactOS". If a peripheral maker supplies a Microsoft Windows XP driver for its product, isn't that "driver support for ReactOS"? I am already writing some software for ReactOS, ie....

Re: Google Summer of Code 2019 Ideas
Blink was derived from webkit but the point is not the code and not the technology, it is the originator. They don't create open source software to be generous, they create it to overload the market and stifle competition just as Microsoft used to with closed source software. They also shutdown dev...

Re: GitHub Replacement Plan?
no, we're done with SVN
if microsoft deletes our github mirror, our own git mirror should remain unaffected
if you want you may clone the project to your own repo on gitlab

Re: GitHub Replacement Plan?
github is only one of our mirrors, so don't worry about it the fears are justified (contrary to some of the naive comments above), but the potential issue is already technically counteracted, and it's part of the design of git to deter larger open source projects from being locked into just one serv...

Re: Undocumented NT APIs web legal?
Q. Should anything I find on the web be included in the ReactOS Wiki's Reference pages if it is relevant and secure to use? My answer is no. The ReactOS Wiki Reference pages should not become a junk pile. Only the highest quality available open documentation should be included. tbh a lot of the boo...
