And from what I remembered, it wasn't a too expensive license, a few hundreds?

Beside Virus Total, I am unsure https://www.virustotal.com/

Thanks, that's helpful

I really don't remember (+quick check) Firebird for the email client, do you have source for this?

Predecessor of Firefox was Firebird, and before that it was even called Phoenix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox#Name_changes

So it wasn't used before Thunderbird, that was the point of OP and myself. We were talking about the email client(!).

And I was an user of firebird, the database.

No, the email client was never called Firebird, that isn't what I was saying.

Browser: Phoenix -> Firebird -> Firefox Mail client: Minotaur -> Thunderbird

Firebird was the browser's name, after phoenix and before rebranding to firefox.

So it wasn't used before Thunderbird, that was the point of OP and myself. We were talking about the email client(!).

And I was an user of firebird, the database.

Yes that is a confirmation.

Firebird was actually the database whose name they hijacked when they had access to AOL's legal army.

Also K9Mail is now Thunderbird for Android.

They didn't really hijacked anything. Firebird made sense coming from phoenix. It wasn't a good choice considering the database existed before but it wasn't really an hijack in the sense that both are significantly different product that trademarks wouldn't have clashed. It was just annoying when doing web searches (similarly to gemini the google AI product vs the protocol).

It wasn't that simple. I couldn't find Firebird's original position post but this is close enough.

Same... Totally forgot about ZA.

These days, at work, I need to support applications build on Azure and Power Platform. Both are a hot mess. We get notifications that our APIM is down for at least 15min every weeks at random times. Power Platform is just a "preview" mess, things break and are not functional.

I complained about it and basically was told to shut up, the industry is using them, so they must be right.

No one is testing anything anymore.

It's a bit astounding to realize Ballmer was good.

What were the issues behind "APIM down"?

At this stage, it's more like Musk and self driving cars, but at least QC around the corner is from mid 1990s

And isn't the response already known in the validation process?

I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?

Replication of quantum factorisation records with a 8bits home computer, Abacus and a dog

What are you trying to say here? This makes no sense.

That's a famous paper that debunk a lot of things related to marketing announcements. Basically nothing has truly factorized 15, let alone 21.

Look at Xbow which spawned a few "open source" competitors.

Considering that Trump models are Hitler and Putin, how surprising...

More employees to release less stuff.... Smell like consultancy.
