I did some programming in DOS, never even came close to that limit. That's why I'm curious. Look up how much working memory the NES had some time, Duck Hunt clones wouldn't even need buffers for scrolling!
I once programmed an arduino to move my mouse cursor in the shape of a square to keep my workstation from auto-locking per company policy. There's a slider control on the Arduino board that I have that I used more-or-less as an on-off switch. For fun I'd hook it up to my supervisor's machine just to hear him try to explain it to somebody.
Although I agree with your sentiment, Slashdot is dying. It was painfully clear in the thread about James Horner. However I did want to ask: When did Ask Slashdot EVER produce no criticism? I remember ten years ago when the big complaint was that people would ask any question at all when there was the magic Google around.
Back in the late nineties I had a phone that lasted 2 weeks on a charge. I ended up buying a second charger to have at work because twice a month my phone would die in the middle of the work day. Now I charge my phone every night and that doesn't happen anymore.
His daughter is a lot more likely to get pregnant* as a teenager than she is to shoot or get shot. There actually is a basis for prioritizing one over the other.

Ah, interesting. When I did programming in the 640k days I used 320x200. I don't even remember being able to hit VGA res @ 256 colors.

The movie didn't show us the alloy under a microscope.

What was so hard about making a Duck Hunt clone fit in that memory footprint?
'Common sense' and 'studies' are not interchangeable.
You're witnessing the failure of that philosophy.
How many models of Android phone do you think are available right now?
Yeah, you can go buy any other device that only has slightly less bloatware.
Sorry I didn't catch the joke, it was covered in the blood of a technician.
That'd be funnier if those stories weren't mainly about how the laws weren't really working.

You're averse to clickbait so you fequent Slashdot?
Your joke mighta been funny if it had contained a humorous punchline.
Would you prefer $20 or $30 per month for ad-free Hulu Plus?
Sold.
Less pocket space. Not as heavy, so if dropped it's less likely to break.
The heavier the phone, the easier it is to break. Meanwhile, standby time is overrated.
Nah, it takes me having a communications device I can do a lot more communication with so I see the power bar more often.
What brand of DVD player do you have that crashes at all, let alone blue screens?
Are you on the correct site?

I'll take the thinner phone, thanks.
If I had a 3d printer I'd custom design an Arduino case. I want to make one that looks like a tricorder, complete with slots for LEDs etc.

*My apologies to ArcherB, no disrespect intended.
It's a lot easier to plug in a charging cable.
If you take that comment and swap 'iOS' and 'Android', you go from a -1 to +5.
