Can you site an instance where M$FT ever sued someone on patent grounds?
Yeah. Just the other day I was carrying my bazooka down the street and when the cops stopped me I said "Come on. Can you site one instance where I've blown up someone's car or house? Just one?"
That is so fucking stupid I can't even begin to express myself....did you ever think there was a REASON why electricians need to be LICENSED?
Well make up your mind. Which is it? Is it so obvious that he's "fucking stupid" to not know better, or is it so complex that one needs licensed training to know better?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. My computer kept rebooting every time I hit reply. Strange.
Anyway, I have to admit I had to go back and look up what those POKEs did. My first computer was an Atari 400 (the one with the membrane keyboard and 8K of RAM, and on which I spent 130 bucks to boost all the way to 32K.)
My main experience with a Commodore was my first paying job ever, which was to port Alpha-Beta's Checkers program to it. My total royalties came to about $320.
I remember back when I thought I'd never in my life has to pass through metal detector. Or be forced to stand there while someone rummages through my luggage. I even remember when I thought it was ridiculous that one could be forced to put on a seat belt. Silly me.
omething like activity right before a tsunami could possibly be explained by something we don't understand
It's well understood. It's called selecting the data. These guys get blips all the time. Most of them don't correlate to anything important. But there are lots of blips and lots of important things in the world, so there will plenty of matches.
A year, later, this guy in a yellow and orange vest comes to my door with a hammer. I let him in and he proceeds to smash the drums into tiny fragments, making my kid cry. He says, "Sorry, the model of your drum set is out of date.
More apt would be if the guy told you your kid couldn't play in the Toys R Us band anymore.
Just because the truth shocks you doesn't mean it is a troll.
If that's what you think, maybe you're not a troll. Maybe you just don't think clearly. It's not that Gates is donating an enormous amount of money. In fact, he has donated more money than any other human in the history of the world. That part is wonderful. The part that's a troll is this: is this proof that sometimes the ends justify the means? Let's see if the Linux community can match his generosity.

And of course heat is faster, because you can catch cold.
It's racist, but yes, it is an insult that is distinct from moron.
Maroon at one time was a classification used for blacks. More specifically (I believe), for escaped slaves.
Well, yeah, I do.
He doesn't work for Apple. He's a medical student.
Yeah. Just the other day I was carrying my bazooka down the street and when the cops stopped me I said "Come on. Can you site one instance where I've blown up someone's car or house? Just one?"
And he said to me "It's cite, you moron."
Well make up your mind. Which is it? Is it so obvious that he's "fucking stupid" to not know better, or is it so complex that one needs licensed training to know better?
Poor grammar either? What is that? Can it even be had?
If you mean the asterisk, that's optional.

You cannot stop it. The criteria for fitness may change, but the selecting marches on.
You make that sound like it's a good thing.

Hey, my screen just went dark. Cut that out!
It's extremely responsive here. So fast, in fact, that I'm scratching my head wondering how they did it. FWIW, I'm running a dual 2GHz.
Or if that didn't work, they could try, say, one song per 99 cents.
Thanks. Clever.
It shames me to admit I liked that joke.
I think that's where the Fodus come from.
More apt would be if the guy told you your kid couldn't play in the Toys R Us band anymore.
It's like a rodeo, but more evil.
Why not? A couple of years earlier and this would be the top of the line Mac, and plenty of people ran photoshop then.
The reason he's "only" worth 40B is because he already gave billions to his foundation. And now the foundation is giving that away.

This story looks like both a troll and flamebait, and it gets me to wondering about the submitter. What a shocker. He's a known troll.
