    Dumbass? Are you saying that I lied or haven't tried? And I quote from DOSBox:
    Even though some high-end 486 and Pentium games work now, the current cpu emulation speed probably won't let you run them at decent speeds.

  17. Re:Silly Programmers on The Changing Face of Offshore Programming · · Score: 1

    Well yeah. Safer work conditions, are good, one of the things I commend the unions, early unions for doing and doing right. A living wage? Well maybe at first yeah, but at what points does livable become "an increase just to have an increase?" It's beacause of the increased wages that companies can't compete. Sure countries that subsidize their steel markets heavily contribute but every part of the equation has to be looked at.

    A pension for old age? I guess that's good. But the increase in wages should have allowed the workers to save and fund their own pensions.

  18. Re:Silly Programmers on The Changing Face of Offshore Programming · · Score: 1

    Ask the Steel Workers Union how well being the Union worked for them.

  21. Re:From the linked thread on Encoding Data for Audio Tape? · · Score: 1

    Well the post I was replying to was somehow trying to state that Windows XP fits on one disk while Redhat takes 5. And it takes 5 because it has more than just a kernel and a window manager.

  22. Re:From the linked thread on Encoding Data for Audio Tape? · · Score: 1

    If Windows included all the source to ALL the programs that it installed and/or recommended, I doubt 5 discs would even start.
