Of course it's American and they didn't have Amstrads or Speccies, poor buggers. These machines were hugely popular in Europe so should be included. I someone who had a C64. The styling looked very dated compared to a CPC or ZX Spectrum.
I have this game on the Amstrad CPC464, branded as "Thrust". A true classic and highly addictive! I recall the devastation felt when losing control on a never-before-reached level.
Well, the poster had said that nobody reads computer books.
Sorry, I missed that. The nature of/. is that you don't always see the context of what of has been said, which is why I always include the relevant context as a quote. Sorry if my comment seemed harsh, I also spend a lot of time reading computer related material, but not quite as much as the GP.
Interestingly, I own an assortment of books, spend most of my time that isn't in a lab in a library, and read about 6-7 hard-copy academic papers a week, in addition to an assortment of books.
Interestingly? Do you really think people are interested to read you boast about how nerdy you are?

Bring on the paint drying, I need some real entertainment.

The biggest joke is that in Java byte is signed and char is not. Semantically speaking, neither are numerical types. Why do I need a sign on my byte?

Conditional branches on comparisons between data of types boolean, byte, char, and short are performed using int comparison instructions (3.11.1) Note that no operations exist in the bytecode to do math on chars. Thus to get the results, the char is implicitly casted to an int, processed, then cast back to a char as necessary.
And the GP said: "chars are treated just like numbers in Java", to which you said: "incorrect". So by your logic, shorts are not treated like numbers in Java either... Nice work, Einstein.
I noticed your correction about the signed/unsigned bit, the point of my post was to point out that char is unsigned (you said all primitives are signed).
Actually in UTF-8 some characters are single byte.
You might find that most of your beef with Javascript lies with its common implementations in web browsers, an entirely different thing to the language itself, and something that people often get confused.

We don't know this guy was "mentally retarded". He could have had serious trauma that made him want to escape reality in this way.
Yeah I remember the reverse gravity levels. It was fun to drift off into space. I think the balls were called "pods".

I tried to get E but people just kept looking at me like I was some kind of drug addict.

I knew I should have used the preview button.
I find school prefects irritating too, but I wouldn't go this far!
PS. I don't know what he was thinking either.

Ah sorry, bad wording on my part. I actually meant the database engine and middleware crap that Morfik uses.

Not only Apache and Firebird, but a database engine and all the other middleware crap that it uses.
It seems a bit odd that they made chars behave like integers if they didn't want people to use them as integers.
Imagine you want to do:
Quite useful really.
I hope there are no double byte characters in that text file.
