ah, you're right. The movie theater I saw the movie at had a contest at the same time. Fill out a form, drop in a big decorated box, and if your name was drawn you won a C64. The contest was, if I recall correctly, tied to the movie.

I have to imagine that the movie War Games starring Matthew Broderick helped spur sales. After seeing that movie, I had to have a commodore computer ;) That movie, alone, changed me. I was an eletronics geek and after seeing that movie,

It is relatively easy. I've done it myself many moons ago. I've followed Steve off and on over the years. He seems to prefer C++ as a web-app language so much so that he blogs about it and other things. I like his stuff. I dis

I think what the OP meant was no 3rd party library dependencies such as a CGI library and that he's still dependent on OS system calls such as file I/O and sockets.

No, I have my own hosting company. It is not related to the Fortune-5 I was speaking of. To clarify, I own an IT consulting company and I have been on contract with the fortune-5. I supply contract heads else where too - H1Bs.

ah good question. It was very, very difficult to pin down. We knew our compiler was the same on both computers and compiler flags were all the same. The two machines were purchased at the same time and we knew everything about them was t

I was hired by a bookie ;) I have a somewhat related story. Circa 1995 or so, I was working on software compiled on a 486DX computer. Back then the computers had L2 cache in SDRAM chips you plugged into the motherboard. I was moonlighting

Lol, so if it's on Wikipedia it must be true and accurate. Nice. Hey, if it's on the Internet then it must be true. I think it is reckless. A lot of young up and coming engineers perhaps use sparkfun for their high school elect

tend to agree. In Michigan, there are no laws requiring owners to pass an emissions test. There use to be in the 80s but they were dissolved in the late 80s. I believe states like California still have them and I know, at least, Illinois

Curious, are you going to return the vehicle for any recall notices? You realize once they "fix" the emissions issue, the performance of the car is probably going to tank. I have to imagine you will no longer realize the ratings

I agree with everything you say however, if the two things you rely upon are, in their own words, such a mess then I have to imagine that mess consumes an equal if not more inordinate amount of time to integrate with. I'm a software de

Somewhat related, check this out. In the video they theorize that the power line attack is obfuscated by software techniques. An old OS may have buggy USB drivers I can imagine but they claim the OS does not matter. https://www
