The Commodore 64 vs. the iPhone 3G S
Harry writes "The unfortunate news about Apple rejecting a Commodore 64 emulator from the iPhone App Store inspired me to compare the C64 to the new iPhone 3G S, in more detail than any rational person is likely to compare them, ever again. If nothing else, it's a snapshot of just how far technology has come since the C64's release in August of 1982."
who gives a fuck. go read that article about condoms. linux fags are too dumb to use a condom and are all dying of aids. i hate linux and the faggot fucks who use it. fucking homosexual ass lickers.
DIE DIE DIE!!!!! BURN IN HELL FAGGOTS!!!!!!
One should compare it to Flash. But both using the same (low-res and low-color) screen and the same CPU. :P
Seriously. Flash has way too many inner platforms in-between it and the hardware. The only thing missing in there, is a virtual CPU, emulated in Emacs. ^^
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
They forgot to include FREEDOM. You were free on the C64, no one could stop you from making applications, running them and distributing them freely to friends,
And for $0.99 apiece 100 of you and your friends can chip in for a developer account which gives you all that F-F-FREEEEEDDDOOOMMMM.
If passing the minimal sanity and seriousness validation of acquiring a developer account is too much of a hurdle for you, well then no you actually should not be playing with the grownup toys, kid. Back to F-F-FRREEEDDOOOMMMM whiny git land with you!
As I pointed out above, if passing the minimal sanity and seriousness validation of acquiring a developer account is too much of a hurdle for you, well then no you actually should not be playing with the grownup toys, kid. The C64 is, indeed, right up your alley in that case, and I eagerly encourage you to use one instead of an iPhone for either forever or until you can come up with $99, whichever comes first. ... and actually, you wouldn't have to come up with the $99 yourself for that matter, if you could convince even one of the 60,000 or so registered developers to date to sign you up for one of the 100 spots on their developer device list.
So if you can't make any friends, and you can't come up with $99 ... nope, I'm just not finding any sympathy left over, loser-boy. Go play with Android or something.
You know, since the C64 is so free, why aren't you still using it? You are STILL free on it. Not sure why you keep putting it in the past tense.
