Except, you know, fundamental stuff like how many cores does the JRE think it is running on. The dance over that as we've gone from 8 to 9 to 10 to 11 is mind boggling.

And the C64 couldn't even manage them. But then there is wire frame 3d games and the freescape games that ran far faster on the Speccy than the Commodore. Then there is Carrier Command.

Fortunately people did do that at the time so we can see the results. And the Spectrum had thousands of sophisticated 3d games running in real time and the C64... Didn't. It had the games it's sprite bitting hardware could support

Well if you look at the amazing conversion of Carrier Command on the Spectrum compared to the thing that was called carrier command that was released on the Commodore I don't see how anyone can wi h a straight face say the Commodore wa

You couldn't make a call and browse the Internet at the same time on an iPhone. You couldn't copy and paste text on an iPhone. The camera was worse than any contemporary mid range camera phone.

You'd say "They are" just like you say "You are" not "You is" for second person. English isn't some precisely specified 1 look ahead formal grammar.

So would saying "you is". You are an idiot. They are an idiot Thou is an idiot if you want to be 'correct'.

This person seems to think using 'they' as a singular is somehow wrong in English. That's not correct. It's been used since the 1500s and it was only when the wave of idiot Victoria grammar prescriptivists started throwi

It has always struck me as mad that I can order an individual widget from China for less than it would cost for the postage of that widget in my own country.
