lost the modem for it though, that's a real shame because with that lovely little chiclet slab, i discovered unix on a sunday afternoon in a very, very remote place...
first 'real' computer. before that i had a z80 experimenters kit i'd built myself from a 'radio & electronics' magazine someone had given me for my 11th birthday. i wasn't really so keen on it as a 'computer', since it only had a numeric (not even hex) display, and my family always referred to it as my 'self built calculator'... which was always funnier to them than it was to me, for some reason.
but anyway, yeah baby, mmm... the oric-1. what a floosie.
freakin' holy smokin' joes, you mean if i want my own crocodile super-army all i need is a convenient nuclear reactor to atract them with?
man. there is a goddess.
I'd give you the link ...

Cube House

... to jwz's entry on his cubicle house in the pizza-eating days of Netscape... but I'm sure someone else would've beat me to wayback machine to do it properly...
Thank you, you rock... I figured there might be something like this around, but yeah: couldn't get on the 'net in the environment I'm working in, in order to do a proper search... so, ta!
... if the standard (as good standards sometimes do) included some sort of generic descriptions (i.e. even section headers), then its feasible that the programmers could both have just copied text from the same standard text when writing the code...
not a difficult argument to make. i've seen it in plenty of other code: section headers from the 'standard text', implemented with the same comments from different teams.
hell, i seem to remember some other microcomputer software company doing this, back in the day, with a few BIOS-like API's that were floating around...
yeah... just like guys like you sit there and snipe just for the 'ooh, look at me providing a snarky evaluation of someone else' points... c'mon, I'm not going to even bother knowing your name, thats how standard a response yours is...
Tell you what. I bet those bullet points weren't the -only- points of view this guy cares to share... and if he's really as smart as he sounds (on this issue) then yeah: I'd be willing to say he's allowed to call himself a professional.
To me it doesn't just mean Virtual Analog, or subtractive... it can be anything that makes noise... so yeah, filters, yeah, effects, yeah, a single monster filter...
You're stupid. BeOS, failed? As if one failure is a reason to stop doing something...
OpenBe is wonderful. Having numerous OS choices to select from is wonderful. Cheers to everyone who wants to and does make their own Operating System...
Having all these OS's around will serve one purpose: it'll devaluate the OS market. Good.
No questions about it. If money is no objection, I would get my game-geek friend a bit of 'outside time' and put them in a Russian MIG for a bit of reality...
yeah, okay... 'theoretical scenario vs. theoretical scenario'... President Shrub goes to China for a secret meeting with his masters, how you gonna know if that happens, eh?
Look, it was a half-assed jest in the beginning, now its a half-assed argument.
You know, Hitler was able to carry out a lot of his early campaign because it "wasn't illegal" as well... so why is it any different for the US Administration, who frequently get laws changed to accomodate their wills and desires in the "Killing People for Profit" Department...
All I'm saying is just because there is legislature that states that its okay to do something, doesn't make something right, and doesn't serve as a valid justification for committing heinous crimes of murder against innocents.
Just because the US *changed the law after the fact*, and continues to attempt to modify the law of the International Court in order to provide its leader clique with an 'out', doesn't mean that what was done wasn't *illegal*.

They had deer in Florida? I guess that explains the crocodiles ... or is it alligators in Flordia? Shee-it, I forget, but oh well...
I did not know about those deer. Interesting.
This indicates revenue of a million a movie; that's a paltry sum which no American movie house would bother with.
... they're not american.
yeah, duh... noticed how these super fantastic american movie houses are just soooo healthy theses days, eh?
i know plenty of so-called 'movie houses' who might loove to make a million bucks for a movie. plenty.
and yeah
... seems to me that ARM is doing pretty well these days.
A quick stroll through my local MediaMarkt this morning revealed that this particular suite of processors was present in abundance.
An interesting time for another platform war...

I've been trying for a week to get the stupid nFORCE drivers working so I can get my new Shuttle PC on the 'net with Linux, but it's just not working.
Why, oh why, oh why can't they just release these drivers in 'normal' format?

What does 'synth' mean to you?
... so yeah, filters, yeah, effects, yeah, a single monster filter...
...
To me it doesn't just mean Virtual Analog, or subtractive... it can be anything that makes noise
Its all good. Lets see what the GPU's can do
... can you say 'software synthesists' wet dream?
... $5 to the first person to use Brooke to make a synthesizer. :)
Oh, suddenly, that 'game investment' also gives you a few 100 extra voices of polyphony?
Sweet

That needs to happen.

Anyone know? If they're gonna know it about me, I want to know it about me as well.
No you idiot, sheesh, what are you a Nazi? Why do you have to look at it so negatively, so fast, so instantly, and so conclusively?
What makes it interesting to slashdot, is his web page about it. Duh. That was a great read, unlike some blathering dithery from rabid insta-haters...
I thought he meant HanoiOS ... man, thats a bitch to write software for, you know ...
Powerbook + VirtualPC + good disk investment == Grand Computing Fun.
Weaned me off Microsoft, and fast.
... its just like the days of Quarterdeck and Desqview, only with much, much, much more at stake.
Shee-it. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And change. And stuff.
yeah, okay ... 'theoretical scenario vs. theoretical scenario' ... President Shrub goes to China for a secret meeting with his masters, how you gonna know if that happens, eh?

Why is their personal danger worth more than the combined danger of the populace being headed by people who are out of control?

Listen, you want evidence of your country's criminal activity, go no further ...
Just because the US *changed the law after the fact*, and continues to attempt to modify the law of the International Court in order to provide its leader clique with an 'out', doesn't mean that what was done wasn't *illegal*.
If you've got the tech to make RFID work, you've got the tech to protect someone from thugs.
Duh.
