I have a Logitech Cyberman II controller still (can be seen here). It has a true six-axis knob and eight buttons - you never have to touch the keyboard. Twist the knob right to look right, twist down to look down; push forward to move forward, pull knob up to move up - revolutionary. I don't think most understand how awesome these controllers are, or how disappointing it is that game port support was completely removed by Windows 7 (and previously took a hack to add back into Vista) and that these controllers disappeared from Logitech joystick software updates before that.
Descent had several direct-to-metal ports, pre-directx or OpenGL, for video cards such as the Rendition Verite and S3 Virge. I tossed all my CDs of games unplayable without the old hardware a while ago. None of these cards won though, as the 3dfx Voodoo stomped them all for Quake.
The main reason so much needs to be rewritten and the reason that new drivers were required on Windows Vista (making it's initial release a fustercluck) is that big media got to Microsoft.
Vista, 7, and 8 have end-to-end DRM encryption support, required for logo compliance with Blu-ray, where the data comes out of the disc encrypted, and goes to the monitor encrypted. The DRM audio comes from Microsoft encrypted, and only comes out of your Zune's headphone jack unencrypted. This fundamentally broke the audio framework, digital audio workstations, video card drivers, imaging devices, etc, because none of these drivers or applications were previously written to prevent users from using data on their own computers.
Most don't change your IP address capriciously, but some do. Some ISPs, such as Centurylink DSL (Qwest) aggressively change IP with every DHCP renew or PPPoE session, specifically to frustrate users into paying more for a static IP address to run any kind of service that expects that a response should return to the same IP address a few minutes later.
This particular scumbag company has also tried to ace out other DSL Internet providers by limiting them to 7mbps while selling their own ISP service at 20mbps+.
Expect to be defrauded buying anything that can be faked. 16GB SD cards that are 256MB of looping flash, hard drives filled with bolts, walnuts filled with concrete, food made out of rats and glue and sewer scrapings. This is a place where the goal of any business transaction is to swindle to the maximum extent possible.
Solitaire was initially included with Windows to train people how to use a mouse, now it's not included to train people how to use the Microsoft store and get them to enter their trackable credentials.
Please attempt to use the Beta site. Try using it as your only view of Slashdot. You will then realize is an abomination, a huffington-post web 1.9 where a big picture is plopped on a windows 8 tile, with a comment section that looks like a discus outsourcing.
When Slashdot is NO comments on the posted news stories, and ALL comments on the death of slashdot by evil committee, maybe then the idea will be abandoned - Dice should know that we will not use the new site, and we are willing to not use the current site to prove it.
Lesbians. Vandals (used about 20 posts above). A moor by the time of Shakespeare meant black person. Language is capricious, and the correct usage is that which is canonical.
We have homo sapiens that design firmware for avionics systems, and we have homo sapiens who throw spears at metal birds. Same species, the only difference is culture.
Do not be so fast to judge the capabilities of neanderthal DNA based on the trinkets they left behind. The accomplishments of humans is due to language and learning, specifically learning of invention from the brightest 0.001%; we are still the same species as we were thousands of years ago.
Neanderthal brains were big if not bigger than ours, so they were potentially pretty smart. However, they may have been relatively anti-social.
The most successful humans were probably those who used trade to get the resources their area lacked...
Hypothesis: The most successful humans were those that were able to raise an army and slaughter those individualistic free-thinking neanderthals. Evidence: recorded human history.
They bought MS-DOS and re-sold it to IBM, six years after being in business. Their main product, which Gates wrote and was incredibly involved with, was Basic. They started in the right place, by moving to Albuquerque where the 1975 Altair was made and putting their Basic on it, along with every other microcomputer for a decade. He is a smart person and master code monkey; maybe the next challenge in Gates vs Magnus Carlsen will be an 8086 assembly coding competition.
The Vista+ driver break for everything you use (I have a printer, scanner, several joysticks, etc that are hosed in post-XP OSs) was solely to lock down your computer so you can't use it. The driver model was changed for DRM, HDCP, Macromedia etc, so that video and sound is encrypted all the way from media to screen and speakers. New drivers required for everything; we wouldn't want you recording digital sound that we don't allow...
Four spaces are the specified indentation method. Tabs should be used solely to remain consistent with code that is already indented with tabs. Most Python IDEs will turn a tab into four spaces, and even block indent multiple selected rows with spaces with the press of tab. Dealing with legacy tab code by unknowledgeable devs is a pain, it is much easier to run autopep8 and check in a 100% space diff then deal with editing that code.
Python 3 disallows mixing the use of tabs and spaces for indentation.
Python 2 code indented with a mixture of tabs and spaces should be converted to using spaces exclusively.
I noticed the decline about three years ago, which was about the peak of user interaction. That was probably the point of max data, when you could use it to look up just about any classmate or former co-worker you were curious about and see pictures of their kids and where they were going to be. Then people stopped being stupid, more and more profiles became private or friends-only, facebook started requiring a login to even see content on their site, real names were required and dubious names autodeleted (including mine), and people started cancelling accounts. Then there was a movie. RIP The Facebook, you hardly knew me.
This is why snapchat was worth $3B to Yahoo, you install it on your phone, where it can vacuum up your real contacts and other data from your phone and send it along to the server. If you don't put in your real name, someone else has.
Unfortunately, the only format they released the ROMs in is one huge ZIP file. Even the torrent, where torrent software might have allowed picking-and-choosing individual ROM files, is only the ridiculous 42.8GB ZIP.
I'm still looking for a list of files, but for that size, it might be EVERY MAME ROM in the MAME database of over 7000 ROMS.
All those payment systems you list are the dodgy ones, Bitcoin is not. Scammers can dispute or chargeback funds, or just use stolen numbers or accounts to defraud. It is the Bitcoins that are trustable once you've received them.
Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS ($14) or the TI-36X Pro ($20). The 30 is a scientific and statistics calculator, whereas the 36x adds the vector math and constants, and a few basic solvers.
The TI-30XIIS scientific calculator is approved for use on SAT*, ACT*, and AP* exams.
NCEES: Any Texas Instruments calculator must contain either TI-30X or TI-36X in its model name
