yea ok whatever you want to state, heres the deal, I have linux on a 4mb 386, the lowest of the low on x86, I have it on a motorola 68030, the lowest of the low on that side of the coin. I have used uCLinux and sorry, its a very resource heavy slow want-to-be linux like command shell, bad RTOS that really serves no other reason but to bloat system requirements, and cost, to enable piss poor performance.
"because a heart this cold will only bring you pain."
no being a realistic person has brought me a life where I am happy, and not one of dying alone, and broken chasing unicorns that never existed... thanks.
I do beleive I have the lowest powered machine running it known to the community, it takes its sweet ass time to start up, but once your in and loaded its actually quite responsive.
debian, its got the utilities and small resource footprint you want, unlike puppy you can use apt-get anydamn thing you want, puppy is really for nerds who have too much time on their hands to fuck around with a nerd system.
Anti-X Linux, have it on a 150Mhz Pentium, DSL had some advantages like running on a 8 meg machine (with no use of X of course) and the small size, but hell its been long enough where I had to move on from DSL, and honestly its never really been a great or polished system. Just a fuckton of basic utilitarian things crammed on a disk with a janky UI, and none of the software I would actually use.
on the other side of the coin its free advertising if the content is worth it, they will go to the source, plus at the end of the video theres links to more of the source content
does his sales figures include the decade of games where you would download the linux binary off of their website and copy the data files off the windows retail copy? cause a whole generation of ID games allowed you to do just that.
Entertainment is one of those ageless things if you find something you like. People like old movies, music, books, etc, why is it difficult to think about people enjoying old computers? Some like the games, some like poking at software some like hacking hardware, heck some like me like it all.
quickbooks is more of a solution, but like the the 150 piece toolkit for 19.95 at harbor freight, it may do the job just fine, it may snap under the load
n early 1982, the Lisa software team was trying to buckle down for the big push to ship the software within the next six months. Some of the managers decided that it would be a good idea to track the progress of each individual engineer in terms of the amount of code that they wrote from week to week. They devised a form that each engineer was required to submit every Friday, which included a field for the number of lines of code that were written that week.
Bill Atkinson, the author of Quickdraw and the main user interface designer, who was by far the most important Lisa implementor, thought that lines of code was a silly measure of software productivity. He thought his goal was to write as small and fast a program as possible, and that the lines of code metric only encouraged writing sloppy, bloated, broken code.
He recently was working on optimizing Quickdraw's region calculation machinery, and had completely rewritten the region engine using a simpler, more general algorithm which, after some tweaking, made region operations almost six times faster. As a by-product, the rewrite also saved around 2,000 lines of code.
He was just putting the finishing touches on the optimization when it was time to fill out the management form for the first time. When he got to the lines of code part, he thought about it for a second, and then wrote in the number: -2000.
I'm not sure how the managers reacted to that, but I do know that after a couple more weeks, they stopped asking Bill to fill out the form, and he gladly complied.
point is, just cause you can manage it, doesnt mean 10,000,000 lines of code is really something to brag about, especially for something that feels as cheap as quickbooks (though it does a ok job if your accountant cant use excel and must have things that visually represent checks)
I must be one of the very few people who get a cold chill from you saying "as much as you can give us!", first time I LOTR movies was the extended directors cut and board out of my fucking skull
yep know the story yep know the characters yep now I am just staring at 3+ hours of CGI spooge and visual noise, great there's two more of these damned things
"had the worst controller since... can't remember when..."
saturn 3d controller
honestly I liked the cast, it had some good games, and the controllers were actually pretty good minus the retarded decision to stick the cord on the front
Given that I got a completely functioning computer (2GHz 2GB) out of the dumpster for free... I fail to see what your point is, computers have been dirt DIRT cheap since the mid 90's... it may not be the most awesome machine ever made, but its still a functioning computer, and I bet its a lot faster than a 700MHz ARM
Slashdot Mirror
I tried that, the camera I wanted wasnt in stock, no discount on the finger fucked model, got it from amazon for 10 bucks cheaper
It should work on all the 10 billion other debian based systems and debian as well.

another distro to fragment the already shattered linux community
how does a overclocked AVR in anyway shape or form have anything to do with linux being a gaming OS?
were talking about linux on pc's, not some toy want- to-be workalike
linux requires a mmu retard, minimum 386, joke = fail

if your use of software breaks when something moves then you have never really learned the software, rather you just learned the motions.

yes so they asked your opinion about your current product to NOT use that information for future products
ok thanks for that, sure you had a tear in your eye when you wrote it
Steve Jobs was full of shit? Next you will be telling us that he was an arrogant asshat too!
for shame...
you can browse the web on an apple II tyvm
Have fun with them?

AND they still produced hardware post release (imagine that) till 2008
SO the lifespan of the gameboy is 2008 - 1989 = 19
sheesh
