@Bob if you meet someone someplace early (ahead of a deadline for e.g. a meeting), it's called giving you a "buffer of time" to get to where you need to be
like youtube buffering but on the order of 15-30 minutes usually
As Always, there is knowledge and "sub"knowledge.

I am dealing with software problems since 1974 and in those days learned to program in Assembler.
So please dont tell us its impossible to "teach" bootloader to look for another address...
if you need an example of someone who thinks like that, just google SpectateSwamp -- he has this VBScript program that's about 40,000 lines long with tons of commented out code (his style of "version control") with dates and really useless comments and Win32 API functions copy-pasta'ed from forums, and the actual functionality of the software isn't even close to being anything a sane person would want to use
@Bob some people close to the Windows Team have stated that, following the release of Windows Server 2003 codebase (also XP x64), there was a near total re-write of the whole Windows System, including the kernel and userspace... they had to keep API compatibility, but they also added a bunch of new APIs, and re-architected the internals to modernize everything
@Bob he also has this fascination with video recordings, and evidently the way that he prefers to organize his information, instead of having those messy files and folders, is to record video of him reading websites and documents, and play back that video and fast forward and rewind.
@Bob right -- meaning, XP x64 and Server 2003 were the last releases of the "old" generation of NT, which derived in large part from NT 4.0 -> 2000 -> XP 32
Server 2003 / XP 64 was still a hack / patch / evolution of the old line, and the product that ultimately became Vista was, for all intents and purposes, a re-write
@Bob you can look it up, but since Windows Server 2003 is (1) a server operating system rather than desktop, and (2) released considerably after Windows XP RTM, it's probably good until 2016 or so would be my guess
"1 GB of memory, 3 GB of swap and a single core CPU are the minimums for a steady state, running Discourse forum – but it's simpler to just throw a bit more hardware at the problem if you can, particularly during the install."

they suggest postgres and nginx, and its written on rails
I wouldn't be surprised if it requires Windows Server 2012 to run, and some IIS Super Quantum Entanglement Background Streaming Helper CAL for $15,000 per website visitor
I actually like Ruby more than I used to these days, because Ruby 2.0 eased many of my objections with the language and runtime, and we're using Ruby in-house for some things now
