The fix is in. Romney is the "desired" candidate of the elites in the GOP and especially the media and the Democrats. But, they'll eat him for frickin' lunch in November. All the media love being shown to him to him? That's a trap. You can bet your sweet bippy that come election time, they'll turn on him and endorse Democrats. About the space program? "Oh, please, Mr Putin!! Can we ride one of your rockets into space? Our president SHUT DOWN OUR MANNED SPACE PROGRAM, so we need a ride. Won't you please help a poor third-world nation out?" Yeah, Newt's a cad that's been married seventy times. I was married twice myself. Your point, while you cite Bill Clinton as being a good president? I wish the liberal culture of Slashdot could separate their hatred for any conservative candidate with the real issues. The USA DOESN'T HAVE A MANNED SPACE PROGRAM ANY MORE. It *needs* to be resurrected. I'd vote for him on that basis alone, never mind mind he left two harpy bitch gold digger wives. Good riddance. There goes my stellar Slashdot positive karma rating. You people you should be more intellectually consistent... the whole point of this site is about technology and science. Well, here's a guy who wants to promote that. And you oppose him. Bye bye karma. Oh, well...
The 6502 was a less-capable processor than the Z-80. It'd been chosen by Wozniak and Jobs for the first Apple because it was cheaper. But to answer your question there are plenty of websites and resources devoted to the Apple ][ series and the Commodore 64. Those are your 6502 museums.
It was my first as well, although I bought the Timex ready-made version. My wife divorced me once she learned I loved it more than her..... Ahhhh, those were the days....
Shit, and me with no mod points! This is not only +4 funny, it's +5 insightful. This goes to +11.
People seem to think that NASA is a significant part of the national budget. It isn't. What's killing us are entitlements, not NASA or the military.
You just triggered a memory... Does anyone else recall Yggrasill? I remember buying the whole package... it came with a videotape explaining how to install it and a massive 10-lb phonebook of a manual called "The Gnu Testament". This must've been around 1995 or so. Good times.
Debian is along with Slackware indeed the granddaddy of 'em all. I use OpenSUSE now but sometimes wish I was on Debian every time another bug comes up. It may be a generation or two behind the curve, but it's tested and stable (no pun intended).
I can't remember precisely and I'm too lazy to look it up, but of that 5K I think only about half was actually available-- my Sinclair had 2K, all of which was available & with a more powerful BASIC. That and the 16x32 screen. The 64 was a quantum leap over the 20.
We were poor, so my first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81. It gave up the ghost (actually it was ruined in the rain when my wife put my things in the front yard when she divorced me!) so I got a VIC-20. My God, what a piece of crap. I took it back. Like you, what I really wanted was an Apple ][. But yeah, my friends with Commie 64's sure did love 'em.
I think people on the board here wayyy overestimate the importance and relevance of Anonymous. They engender no more sympathy from the general public than the big evil corporations do.
I think you're giving Iran too much credit for being rational. The fact that their religious leaders are so crazy is the very reason Iran is so mistrusted. It's also dismaying to see how many people on SD who're rooting for them (Not you, Stoolpigeon). Okay you folks, very well. When the Strait of Hormuz gets closed and fuel prices quadruple, will you then be marching in the streets for Western governments to "do something"? Will you also oppose a Chinese military action?
Slashdot Mirror
To the person who scored my comment as a troll: Don't you think that Gnome 3 can piss people off all by itself without any help from me?
It sure isn't usability to the bone...
I won't buy an ATI card until the Linux driver situation is fixed.

Mod +1 up
It was my first as well, although I bought the Timex ready-made version. My wife divorced me once she learned I loved it more than her..... Ahhhh, those were the days....
Your Gohill's boots cannot stand up to my ZX-fu!

No.
Mod this up to 11! Yeah, Rossi's on to something all right, in a P. T. Barnum kind of way....
It's only a polariton if it's *reverse* routed through the main deflector dish...
Egads! *This* is a good keyboard: http://www.mikecase.net/ModelM/IBM-Model-M-Keyboard.jpg *That* looks unusable.
Ma-Gay-a sounds worse. It's a shame this is happening. I fondly remember using Mandrake 8.1 and really liking it back in the day.

Who could forget ZX Chess too? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1K_ZX_Chess
Lord no. This was in 1982

You're very brave, posting as AC. You have me so scared.

It's easy to remember.
Only a vague idea of where Earth got its water? We got it from comets. Water's a fairly common molecule throughout the universe.
Hey IBM! How about you stick to making computers and software, and I'll decide what I want to eat, okay?
