  1. Re:Yeah I've seen it on On the Trail to Atlantis · · Score: 1
    Atlanta was a city, landlocked,
    Hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

    Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism
    That they moved offshore, becoming an island and an even bigger Delta hub,
    Until the city overdeveloped and it started to sink.

    Knowing their fate, the quality people ran away:
    Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy, the guy who invented Coca-Cola, the Magician
    And the other so-called gods of our legends, though gods they were,
    And also Jane Fonda was there.

    The others chose to remain behind on their porches with their rifles,
    And one day evolve into mermaids, and sing and dance and ring in the new.

    Hail Atlanta!

    Oh my, are you marklar?

    I'm Marklar, and the Marklar marklar has, as well, "a marklar word for marklar". I marklar that if it is marklar than what you're marklar it just... well, "seems marklar", but try to marklar: if marklar things are marklar, shouldn't marklar be marklar marklar?

  8. Re:a BASIC error on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    The C-64/128 stored BASIC programs in tokenized form. I know because I used MONITOR a lot, trying to find the OS's multiply routine. :)

    Anyway, you could just peek and poke the BASIC storage area directly. That might be how they did it.

    I'm just glad they had the RENUMBER command! That thing was handy...

    Bah. I learned structured programming on C-128 BASIC! Complete with the One True Indentation Style.

    Gore works for Apple now, BTW -- or at least, he's on their board.

  16. Re:What's an El-Pee? on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    Well, you have options: you can merge tracks into one track, you can set the genre to "melodic" and play by genre, and you can playlists intended to be played shuffle-by-album. But the "keep in order" flag would be nice.

    "Besides of the obvious design flaws, I never quite understood the amount of negative feedback for N-Gage."

    That's it. That's the whole reason. Stop looking. Seriously, stop.
