  1. Re:Actual use on Open Source IDE GAMBAS Reaches 3.0 · · Score: 1

    it wont work on MS systems, otherwise it could be a good VB alternative, otherwise like I stated in a previous post why bother learning it if your never going to be able to use it on other systems

    I already know a half dozen useless programming systems, not wasting my time on yet another

  2. Re:Uh....slashdot? on Before the iPhone, Apple's Stunning Phone From 1983 · · Score: 1

    yes they had flat panel displays like that in 1983, though they were not much better than a large calulator lcd with a dot matrix display (think large gameboy screen)

  3. Windows? on Open Source IDE GAMBAS Reaches 3.0 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Its the main reason I have never bothered with this, it looks like everything I would want except windows support ... which though I run linux on the desktop most of the world does not

    Its really not in my interest to sit down and learn a whole new system if I have to toss it out of the window the second I'm on a MS OS

  4. Re:Yes please. on Creating the World's Cheapest Tablet · · Score: 1

    Apple has studies that it in fact does ... course they are from 1983 when people might have an heart attack if a game show host popped his hands out of his leisure suit a bit too fast ...

  6. See here is the problem with modern government on Running Great Britain? There's an App For That! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While your country is in a rescission, your people are in the streets protesting, and having to budget for a simple can of beans what does the government do?

    Buy the most expensive, most shiny status symbol toy cause they cant be bothered to check their fucking email at their desk.

    hm I had no issues playing back video on my 25mhz 386

    my god man you might have enough collective power to run windows XP!

  11. Re:Two Words on Ebert: I'll Tell You Why Movie Revenue Is Dropping · · Score: 1

    that is exactly why I leave my tv on mono, its not perfect but when you get super lux surround bullshit out of a dinky set of stereo speakers your constantly dicking with the remote

    I personally cant stand surround sound, to me it makes everything sound like your in a cave, especially the shitty ass 99$ home systems

  12. Re:realistic training on UK Ministry of Defense Improves War Games For Console Generation · · Score: 1

    thats a mighty fine menu simulator you linked to

  13. Hope they are realistic on UK Ministry of Defense Improves War Games For Console Generation · · Score: 2

    you cant take a rocket propelled grenade in the face in real life for only 25% health damage like you can in many FPS's

  14. Re:Being near him is worth what, now? on Stephen Hawking Looking For Personal Techie · · Score: 1

    I say "based in the 80's as a bad thing because there is nothing nice and tidy like more modern systems, its all software now, just dump it and analyze it in a simulator in your leisure

    or if your setup is anything like mine take your 1 foot deep fragile crt scope, LA and debugger and attach it to random cables with random protocols while keeping up with some guy on the move

    you seriously underestimate his wheelchair, its not a motor and a joystick, patch in a hacked together 80's face recognition system, with his hacked together upgraded 90's synth, a couple pocket pc's running who knows what for network, some rigged up cellular and so on

  15. Re:Being near him is worth what, now? on Stephen Hawking Looking For Personal Techie · · Score: 1

    yea because shining lights and amplified audio is exactly the same as an undocumented custom built computer system that has its base in the 1980's and has had all sorts of "upgrades" patched on

    you would be lucky to document one subsystem so you could just figure out what is wrong for a known grump all packed up on a rolling platform traveling the world, this aint a Pentium with a voodoo2 needing an OS upgrade

  16. Re:Wow on Stephen Hawking Looking For Personal Techie · · Score: 1

    thinking he is and actually is are two totally separate things, a lot a below average salary break fix job is going to do anyone when you have to spend 3 weeks in a 200+ dollar a night hotel

    That tablet has a glossy black surface and rounded corners

  24. Re:Era of absurdly overpriced ARM boards is ending on PandaBoard ES Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    I think he is more refering to the current selection of arm dev boards, like TI's offering which starts at 130$ for a 96k 75Mhz M3 and then wants another 100 bucks for a book, and god knows how much for a compiler that if you install it you get some douche salesman calling you once a month wanting to know if you need more software.

    Mac os 9 and windows NT 4.0 (nah there are plenty of nix choices with power pc support)
