I would like to see a recent comparison. Even 2020 or 2021 would be okay.

The author said he did not expect Japan to change. But change is coming and the longer it is held off the greater the change will be.

You sound like the woman who got her car stolen. When the police recovered it, she found it had new shocks, new covers on the seats, a CD added and the engine tuned up.

Considering some tail-gaters I know who drive less than 4 feet from the car infront of them, I want as many facts as possible.

I did that on my PET 2001 after I added 16K of memory, since the screen was only 1K in size it was easy to rewrite the screen in assembler each time. Problem I tried do more than two frames and the fickler was too much to watch.

Where were you back when the Amiga was big? There were a few artists who could produce great pictures in different video modes, but not many. PS. Have you compared HAM-6 to HAM-8 modes?

Worse was Micro-channel PCs from IBM, you could not put a card in a slot unless you had a driver that supported that particular slot. You could have more slots than cards but found where you HAD to put one card would conflict with another c

I wrote a sound driver for BeOS, however I got strange glitches at what looked like random times. The driver tried to output samples at a fixed rate, however after a lot of experimenting I found the glitches were caused when multiple interr

Well, my friend study in university for Nuclear Physics, yet ended up working for the Toronto Stock Exchange programming monitoring software of the trades. They also paid a full year's bonus for working in December for Y2K, so yes, the

Because: A) Impossible means impossible. In other words, there could be no truck if it is impossible. B) After looking at Tesla S,E,X and Y, why would you think Tesla will stop after making a few trucks?

The earliest GUIs are scary to look at compared to how they are today, but the later GUIs show that the development slowed down at the end of the last century.

I have not read the book or even looked at it. As far as I know the only code bases I think as important are: PGP: The code could be printed on a t-shirt and allowed communication that was hard to break. Lossy-Compression: In the 1970s and

Yes, a good point.

Exactly, in another forum someone was complaining the SpaceX was getting all the business and things should go back to the old rocket companies. For some reason he did not see the reason those companies was losing business was because they

I remember getting a trip home with a mainframe programmer in the late 1970's. The entire time he spent telling how limited micro-computers were and how much programming knowledge he had. I have doubts he could handle the machines that

Wait until you get the strange billing from ComCast first. My mom had it in Florida and I found she had all sorts of extra charges for items and services she never had. There is a reason ComCast has a bad rep.

You need to do some math, the forces are way higher than what a jet pilot feels.

Yes, because Tesla is working on a robot that costs can be bought. Lots of people say the Honda robot did this before. Now try buying one, you can't because they did not make more then the demo units. Others will point to the Boston Dy
