Let's get this straight. There are the general laws - the highway code. Transport for London has made special exceptions for black cabs (which are one kind of taxi), and for private hire vehicles (a different kind of taxi - this is

They're pointing out that 2.9 millon people take drugs (extrapolating from the people surveyed), and law says that should be zero. This law will attempt to ban cigarettes. Estimate how many people will buy them and smoke them illegally

Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!

by amiga386 6mo ago
But how am I going to know the white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone. ?

The demo playback on 8-bit games was rarely more than a few seconds long, and it's just a capture of input data. Here's Super Mario Bros's demo replay data: https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722#file-sm

I think it's more the patching thing that made "collect and replay inputs" less common. Networked games have a "tickrate", just for the networking/state aspect. For example, Counter-Strike 2 has a 64Hz tickrate

While the 68000's registers are 32-bit, the data bus is 16 bit, the A1000, A2000 and A500 that defined the range had 16-bit fetching chipsets, they literally had 24-bit address buses. None of this says "32-bit". It can't
