on the flip side you can still fire up dos on a 6 core multigighz monster, its not going to see your SATA drive and its going to clip your memory, but in all they have done a good enough job keeping things backwards compatible
apple... not even close, and they have in the past withheld future software from running on older machines, even though they were perfectly capable of it, just cause you needed to buy a new mac.
to see the future of their current products, just look at the past... then you wont be surprised
my dad bitched about this back when I was in school
"what you can afford an entire room full of 3000$ macs that the students are not allowed to use, but your begging me for a box of tissues and a roll of paper towels?"
this was back in the early 90's, and it stuck with me... what you can afford to give your teachers a raise AND an iPad, but I have to buy my kids tissues? How about I send him with a travel pack, and you get your head out of your ass.
my phone doesn't like certain MP3's, ogg's existence is non, I don't want to be tied in to a media player like windows or apple, and here's another option that's promising me the universe, but has no support
in the year 2012 I hear there's going to be terabytes of storage for less than 100 bucks, cheap internet can download a ISO in a jiffy, and my 386 can play a wav file... whats the point again? oh that's right, you want the entire history of recorded music on a 1x1 inch square cause anything else would make you choose.
I dont know the appropriate forum, as I am not an experienced web developer, nor would I expect any serious answer from slashdot when I do need it, I develop electronics, I dont post which FET has the best ESD damage resistance on slashdot, nor would I expect anything but random opinion from it.
when your serious, you get the data from people who have been down that road, and test it yourself, not post to some news recycler and hope for the best.
I am not an experienced developer, but if I were I sure as shit would not be asking about it on slashdot, to be honest as I stand here now, if I needed some serious advice about any situation, I would not be asking on slashdot, I would be asking on a forum where people live and breathe the topic at hand like their lives depend on it, cause they are professionals, and not the peanut gallery of random trolls, tards, fanbois and neckbeards.
I love these job programs that focus on one short term goal, I am sure those ditch diggers will be proud of their monument when they are once again unemployed 5 years down the road
ok, they havent gotten any smaller in the last 15 years, someone linked me to the "state of the art" while using newer technology is basicly the same size as what I owned in the 90's
LCD's didnt just pop out of nowhere in the year 2000 ya know
yea, I had a 300$ one in the 90's and another 300$ one with high resolution TFT's in the early 2000's, delay was well below 20ms and it still boils down that a flickering screen less than an inch from your eye, in stereo will make most peoples heads split in a matter of moments. not to mention even the lightest one I had at only a handful of ounces was still flat out uncomfortable.
your right its not the 80's anymore, but just cause they reduced the issues, doesnt mean the issues are gone.
apparently you have never worn one of these things, they are heavy, and hurt your eyes, face, nose, and the back of your head, genius? if they are so grand why have they never become popular?
I find it quite amusing that after nearly 3 decades of seeing VR headsets, they still manage to look retarded to this day.
"all you have to do is wear this 30 pound chunk of shit on your face, and you too can look like a moron... least for the 20 seconds your eyes can actually stand it before your brain tears from the strain"
emulators are not the only thing available, and it does open up a new world to people. How many XBOX or PSP games have you developed? Me 3 of each, and yea they were shit, but I found them fun and I learned a lot about the systems worked.
SO quit bitching about something you will never do, get off your ass, crack a system and get writing... obviously you are desperate to be the new turd party developer, so get going and stop pissing your pants.
oh I know, I saw a story on 60 minutes, where "some guy" couldnt afford his frankly lavish house in california cause he lost his 40$ an hour car detailing job. 10 years older than I, I couldnt do anything but be boggled at how someone with an high school education doing a job that damn near any teenager does EVERY Saturday can sit in front of national TV and shed a tear.
its a factory assembly job with very low entry requirements, just like everywhere else, you do your thing, all day every day, for a modest pay that can support your family if your not living beyond your means.
surprise!
now if we can get Americans to accept that "detailing cars" is not a 50$ an hour job maybe we can regain our strength

to win the lottery and buy a magical ring that makes me ultimate ruler of the universe in the next 7 years
how much you wanna bet it happens?
its 2012, if you can not operate a computer in even a basic form then you really have no business teaching the future
I dont buy the IT illiterate, its been a college requirement for at least 2 decades now, excel dont change THAT much (even with ribbon)

aye, bandwidth and space are stupid dirt cheap, but that isn't free
IF they did, there would be an onslaught of free books from everyone who wanted to write that great novel, and the host is stuck with the bill
guess I am too old (at age 33) to read something substantial on a tiny screen
back when the PDA rage was going on, yea no problem, I could sit there and stare at it all day, not anymore, me need large screen!
I love these job programs that focus on one short term goal, I am sure those ditch diggers will be proud of their monument when they are once again unemployed 5 years down the road
thus making my argument that space programs are scientist welfare, a little stronger
ok, they havent gotten any smaller in the last 15 years, someone linked me to the "state of the art" while using newer technology is basicly the same size as what I owned in the 90's
LCD's didnt just pop out of nowhere in the year 2000 ya know
hang a few ounces inches from your face and feel the leverage
"Nor does a TFT flicker"
now I know your full of shit, LCD's do in fact refresh, often at 60Hz, which flickers
yea, I had a 300$ one in the 90's and another 300$ one with high resolution TFT's in the early 2000's, delay was well below 20ms and it still boils down that a flickering screen less than an inch from your eye, in stereo will make most peoples heads split in a matter of moments. not to mention even the lightest one I had at only a handful of ounces was still flat out uncomfortable.

thanks, so how many decades does it take to prove that face mounted helmets are stupid?

I am not even sure why its in the graphic, Debian dropped M86k support in etch a decade ago
Ubiwhat? do they even exist? not in my mind
oh I know, I saw a story on 60 minutes, where "some guy" couldnt afford his frankly lavish house in california cause he lost his 40$ an hour car detailing job. 10 years older than I, I couldnt do anything but be boggled at how someone with an high school education doing a job that damn near any teenager does EVERY Saturday can sit in front of national TV and shed a tear.
even in my company 12 hour shifts are common, in the hearland of the USA ... boo who for the Asians?
what do you expect?
its a factory assembly job with very low entry requirements, just like everywhere else, you do your thing, all day every day, for a modest pay that can support your family if your not living beyond your means.
surprise!
now if we can get Americans to accept that "detailing cars" is not a 50$ an hour job maybe we can regain our strength
yea, I drive 2 hours a day for the last 8 years, no wrecks, simulate that during rush hour
