Nobody in the world has ever fucking heard of the other BBX before.
I've fucking heard of BBx! I'm surprised it still exists. I can't believe there's a fucking Thoroughbred Basic for Vista. At least MAI Basic Four, Micro Five, and Microshare seem to have fallen by the wayside.
But JHFCoaS, nothing says "stuck in the '70s" like BBx. Oy!
A museum guard reaches for his pistol, but the dinosaur is upon him and he is messily devoured. Patrons of the arts flee for their lives. Priceless paintings are ripped to shreds, wealthy benefactors trampled, and the museum is in ruins.
I just want to know if it will make some awesome deep BZHOOOOOOOOooooooooowwwp sound or something when it winds down, like you would expect something that big to make.
Yes, really. It was around 1993 or 1994, and I was comparing it with tape players like the Walkman. I just checked Wikipedia and, yes, due to the dollar/yen they had to introduce it at about $800 or so.
There were a lot of things to describe minidisc, but cheap is not one of them.
I went shopping for one of these after they had been out for a year or two. I went to the Sony store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. They wanted $800 for a portable player. They assured me that people in Japan were snapping 'em up by the dozen.
I never bought the hype, and they never made it anywhere near affordable. In retrospect, yeah, Sony is kind of clueless that way.
Scientific American had an article on this a few years ago. I kept misreading the title, imagining aliens wearing all manner of loud plaids and stripes.
In the movie Real Genius, when Jordan is guarding the hallway filled with ice, she's holding a volume of Knuth. Upside down. Sure, a bit of light reading.
I think it all sounds wonderfully Space-Opera-ish. Robotic Space Planes, and espionage, and all. I mean, it's named the "X-37B", fer chrisake! Are they, like, going through Asimov and Clarke's old notebooks or something? Somebody cue the theme music.
Didn't someone here on Slashdot have a patent titled, "A Method and Process of Doing Things with Stuff" . . . ?
I claimed to have a patent on doing things with stuff. Someone claimed prior art in doing stuff with things. And I think someone trumped that with simply doing things or doing stuff. I can't go that far back in my posting history so as to find the thread.
1. Management was too cheap to have adequate development systems. They expected us to make up good test data on the fly. We never did good testing as a result.
2. We had SAP. The accountants had access to the production system (of course). They were allowed to develop their own programs on the production system (dangerous). I was merely the programmer, so I had no access to the production system, or the stuff they had already written (extraordinarily stupid).
I'm not asking for access to live data or permission to run code on live data, but don't give me bullshit data, or keep me in the dark on production code. Hey, wait, isn't this what they call a mushroom farm?

Anyone else see that as Mists of Panaderia?

This is not the Higgs you're looking for.
It's like comparing Greek Parthenon and lots of small marble pieces.
Um... so... the Parthenon could have occurred naturally?
Really?
Yes, really. It was around 1993 or 1994, and I was comparing it with tape players like the Walkman. I just checked Wikipedia and, yes, due to the dollar/yen they had to introduce it at about $800 or so.

Am I the only one here flashing back to "True Names"?
Contrary to popular belief scientists don't just sit down and code programs on their off time for fun...
I am a counter-example to your assertion.
We're the officially appointed sneaky cheaters! They're cheating and ignoring us! Mother Russia, tell them to quit it! Unfair, unfair, unfair!

So no, it's not just for sitting on the shelf. :-)

The easiest way to eliminate IE6 is to open-source it. Then, by Microsoft's rules, no one can have it.
They're out to kill me!
Thermite.
Aw, nasty stuff!
Naw, wait, I'm thinking of Vegemite.
Never mind.

Q: Why did you say "Burma"?
A: I panicked.
Twins in Spaaaaaaace!
Cyber Command sounds WAY too much like some sort of comic book superhero hangout.

Plus, he's suing companies that HAVE money...
So, maybe the fact that he's not suing Microsoft can be taken as good news.
I've been in two bad situations.
1. Management was too cheap to have adequate development systems. They expected us to make up good test data on the fly. We never did good testing as a result.
2. We had SAP. The accountants had access to the production system (of course). They were allowed to develop their own programs on the production system (dangerous). I was merely the programmer, so I had no access to the production system, or the stuff they had already written (extraordinarily stupid).
