Not really. The underpinnings of the OS were fairly basic. I was a heavy BeOS user. I owned a BeBox. I developed for the OS. There was a *lot" of stuff under the hood that made the OS very immature. I just didn't sit here listing

You do in British English. * AmigaOS - amiga-oss * BeOS - bee-oss * MacOS - mack-oss or ma-koss (I hear both) * NES - ness or nez * SNES - sness, snez, or some people said sneeze. * RTOS - ar-toss In British English, we lean heavily in this

The BeOS was all smoke and mirrors. It worked really well to the end user, yes. But it was extremely lean under the hood. I think getting it to do what the baseline of Mac OS 9 did would have taken significant engineering. The issue was stu

I don't know about Carbon, but Sheepshaver started on the BeOS and one could run a full version of the MacOS up to about 8.1 along side BeOS with no real performance hit. For example, I used to run R5.03 on my PM9500/200MP and I c

The BeOS stuff you mention is sort of true, but not really. BeOS once had a full on database based file system, but that's not BFS. The OFS (Old File System - what they called it with in BeOS) had full on no holds barred database stora

Old school N800/N810 owner here. Nokia failed long before the N900, let alone the N9. You had the Symbian business unit veto-ing the release of any Maemo (Meego's name before they tried to align with the other players that had a d

My suggestion to the developer would be to offer the app to Pocketcasts for a fee based on his daily rate (to cover the time he took to wrote it) plus a reasonable royalty percentage per year. He could then have his app, not need to maintai

It's always Program; in British English Program and Programme are not interchangeable and mean something quite different. A Program is a piece of computer software, a Programme is a series of planned events or a sheet of paper/boo

Not at all. Never used resharper after 10+ years of .Net.

Downloading this app - very confusing UI. No idea how to create a new project and it seemed like it implied it would allow coding in objective C, but I can't see how.

Okay - friendly advice... This seems like a "new" blog. My advice is as follows: * Build up some content first. It's easy to write a first blog post, harder to write regular blog posts. Life gets in the way unless you are ded

My issue with Telerik was more to do with their free tools. The installer tries everything to install trials of everything, and the free tools dial home every time you start them and try to encourage you to log in to a Telerik account or up

Kendra Havens is a hilariously funny in those videos. She does a really good job of making setting everything up seem like a whole load of fun rather than a chore.

Yep. The geek port, as well as at least one midi port iirc. The geek port had both analogue and digital I/O.

Maemo was nice, but setting up the SDK was a nightmare. That coupled with the breaking changes between each major version saw the app pool get smaller and smaller. I left the scene around the time the N810 was about 1 year old as the N900 w

Well, Latvia and Lithuania are not Slavic in culture, save the culture pushed on to them via Russian domination. Their languages are related to each other, but are completely different to the Russian (and other Slavic languages) being in a

I've seen a friend use it for some basic multitrack stuff - basically recording his band live whilst practising. But, it is not a patch on something like Reaper.

No, it's well known in British English too. I don't speak American English.

I did this in C#. It was a lunch time project at work a couple of years ago. It was fun. I still want to do a V2 and remove all of the shortcuts I put in because I didn't want to write code for the stack and stuff like that. At the end

That works on FreeView by broadcasting extra channels. They have something like 2 to 4 slots I think. It's nothing more than smoke and mirrors really, and there is still an element of software getting in there - it just switches you to
