"I'm not really surprised by this discovery; it explains why I feel hungry about an hour after eating sushi."
Which probably has more to do with the fact that you're likely mostly eating sushi that's more rice than fish. Same deal with Chinese food. Concentrate more on the protein items and less on the fillers - rice and veggies (seaweed or no).
There was also an electronics parts company years ago called Pure Unobtanium that specialized in hard to find stuff. Appears they are gone now. Great, now I'm sad and pinin' for the fjords!
Considering you write it once and read it many, you have to multiply your (less than generous or realistic) 1% improvement in readability by how many times it is read.
And practically speaking, come on, how fucking long does it really take you to physically write code anyway? Typing code in is the LEAST time consuming part of programming. Even a 25% increase in time spent typing amounts to a very small increase over time versus what is lost by people trying to follow compressed and abbreviated code.
Simply put, sacrificing readability because you are lazy is just lame.
Since Commodore licensed it in perpetuity for a flat fee and modified it heavily, I still fail to see what they have to do with whether PEEK and POKE are included in the emulator. If that's what the original message actually implied.
Unless the bots are coordinated in their action it doesn't seem like much of a 'net'work, just a bunch of bots (which is the part of 'botnet' that DOES make sense in the "can be remotely controlled and updated" context).
And it always fascinates me that when encountering an opinion (usually but not always about a person) which conflicts with their own, many people will ascribe that opinion to jealousy no matter how well or how poorly reasoned the conflicting opinion is. Seems closely related somehow to those who enjoy accusing people of attempting to be 'trendy' for holding a contrarian viewpoint that is gaining popularity, without regard to the holders motivation.
Please describe for us the wildly successful and efficient government bureaucracies you seem to be holding in mind as counter-examples to, oh, just about any government office I can think of. I worked with various government family and child service agencies for a number of years. Bite me, you and all the brainwashed mods who are going to help send us all straight down the shit-hole.

"Well, if oil runs out, the worst option for eletricity generation will be a diesel generator."
It is if you ignore the fact that at diesel motor can run non-petroleum derived fuel.

And I think you're an idiot Robert. If there is one word NO ONE in the West would use to describe the Chinese government, it is 'flexible'.
Not to worry, we still have plenty of real facts upon which to base our hatred of MS.
Oh, I forgot, none of those count when you're whining about people bashing poor little unloved MS.
We're just whoring for karma, yeah, that's it.
I don't need /. karma to hate, hate, HATE MS. Trying to use COM objects from Java is enough.
Barring the aftermarket radio, there's not a digital signal or microprocessor in my car (1984 300D). It required no special anything to register.
The Midnight Commander project was started in '94. Norton Commander was nearly a decade earlier.
That has to be the lamest post I've seen in years from such a low numbered user. Congrats. Keep being part of the problem.
Undoing mod.
I think there's an opening for you at the DHS...
...nothing but crickets...

Psychologically damaged...what pompous twattle. Go ahead and lick the hands of your masters, while others continue to rail on your behalf.

"Those commands, being part of the Microsoft Basic set, would not be included in this Iphone emulator."
This is totally confusing. What does Microsoft have to do with anything?
What exactly still makes a pot user a criminal if using pot is not a crime? Your sarcasm got in the way of your logic.
Could you please elaborate on this?

So the ends justify the means then? Wow.

"And yet somehow my comment above is getting flamebait and troll mods for pointing this out."
The Linux bashing thread has the mouth-breathers all fired up, don't worry about it.
Even getting rid of lobbying won't eliminate the problem. You'd have to make it illegal to go from the private sector to a gov't job and vice versa.
