I post a lot of links to HN. It's a hobby - I have lots of RSS feeds in NetNewsWire.

Double posts do happen, HN's algorithm allows it. Occasionally a post that got little attention will get boosted up to the front page after a few days.

But I didn't post another copy of this link a few hours ago, and I've never had HN create a duplicate post way later - no clue what's going on here...

You can scoff at the defense's arguments, but the prosecution's arguments were even more absurd.

If the systems are insecure, they would have needed to be 'repaired' anyways! Revealing an insecurity doesn't "cost" anything, even if the method by which the insecurity is revealed is not what one would describe as responsible disclosure. The media got its sensational tidbit for the headline, but it's good the judge had more sense than trying to ruin a bright kid's life for leaking some 20+ year old prototypes and concept art.

Likely an artefact of the second-chance pool

Windows NT — that’s some nostalgia. Choosing it over ReactOS somehow makes it feel even more genuine.

Does reactos even target powerpc?

Update: no, the answer is no.

It may be possible to port it to other architectures but the only build targets are i386 and amd64. I suspect a powerpc build would be a huge messy project.
