So if cloanto has the copyright on Commodore's IP, if you are such a benevolent commodore historian why don't you publicly release everything under an open source license? This is the best way to conserve it.

Restoring and fixing vintage computers then reselling them on eBay. I am just doing that for fun during weekends and I never expected to be a profitable business. It is very satisfying to buy those old, rusted, dusty, yellowed broken machin

That is cool. Terrible fire is doing that IIRC: they have an end to end emulation running now based on their previous foga based accelerator. You are planning to use that as a base to redo everything from scratch?

Originally I was an A500 user in my teens. I started recently to buy various models in bad shape (1000, 2000, 500, 500+, 1200...) to fix and restore them, I still don't really understand completely why but I enjoy that a lot. My next p

The big difference is that in 1980s, we had no choice. If I wanted to play games I had to learn how to use this new TI99/4A. Back to those cartridges were in limited number and my time was kind of infinite (it seemed looking back ;) ).

What bothers me is that we have no proof and everything is vague. The motherboard needs to account for the chip at the PCB traces level to work right? Did anybody saw a weird 6 traces converging at a point for no reason on all the motherboa

When you see a "trade-off", a lot of people see a "loophole". The tax system is exactly that, full of "trade-offs" created for some easy political gains. Article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in d

Honestly it is not a big deal, just remember the else is for the break, not the for. Then it reads naturally: for this break else do that.

The issue is not really working for the government. Internally there is a strong culture around ethics. One day we had an interesting discussion between collegues at lunch: we imagined what would happen if Google got involved in a war and

There are public guarded bathrooms in the area. I have not seen any line there but to be honest I went in the area once a week for 3 years. When you see people literally doodling with their diarrhea, it doesn't feel like prison or co

My first computer! I was 6. Started with TI invaders and ended up playing with assembly with minimemory a couple years later. Not unlike the Amiga, this machine was so in advance on its time for example with its hardware sprites. This thing

This is not a fair comment: Ryzen had a crash that can be triggered by compiling with GCC and a memory compatibility issue where it cannot run them at their nominal speed. Ryzen is a really young architecture, it already had like 6 stable p

The argument is strange. Nasa has been able to pull off the Apollo program for roughly $150B adjusted for inflation. Those are not real dollars neither because people supported it ?

That's where facts are important. Those "fake news" are completely disconnected from reality. I mean North Korean government news agency type of disconnected from reality. You really think they need to be treated as a better

I think the simpler explanation would be that a good number of regular Gmail users marked Trump related stuff as Spam.

That is one of the reason we should encourage people to use a "generic" bot, not one shot integrations. Disclaimer: I am one of the creator of Errbot that was designed for this specific purpose (be chat system independent)

We can say that to any congested areas: Only few directions at only specific time, it is bad luck because this is where the majority of people is commuting to or from. The Bay Area has been getting worse for the last few years, it is now pr
