I find it exceedingly unlikely another browser engine will come; not even Microsoft finds it worthwhile to keep up with the dizzying array of standards Google is pushing as required for the "modern web".

I suspect my demake, while theoretically possible, wouldn't have been doable within the ROM limits of the time (at least when also needing to use that ROM space for gameplay, etc) As an NES game it's tiny, but 24kiB would be unfat

Thanks! Is it that obvious I don't proofread very thoroughly?

> Is this a typo - should this say "to the side that had +5V before?" (ie change minus to plus)? That's a typo and an embarrassing one; thanks for pointing it out, I've updated the post.

That's true; I should've made this more clear. I'm using a "supergun" tool that is designed to lower the level back down to line-level, so I don't actually need the amplifier to run at anywhere near its full ca

Double high-res mode is also quite complicated to program, so it should be complex to emulate, right? Only fair. But really I have the highest respect for people who can manipulate Apple ][ graphics well, it's definitely an art of its

It's just a guess. There are compatibility issues with some Master System software and the later Genesis controller which added additional buttons, though the specific issues in those cases wouldn't have been possible on the SG-10

I'm guessing they're referring to the hypergolic propellants used on the Proton rocket? Which are, indeed, notoriously toxic. In which case, they're not something SpaceX has shyed away from; they are indeed not used on the Fa

As a non-lawyer who's tried to understand copyright law, this analysis confuses me; my understanding was that in the realm of source code "by default" you only have rights to use that source code through a license or contrac

I'm curious why the 8-bit machines themselves aren't an option here; I'd recommend the Commodore 128, as it was the newest of the Commodore machines and had their most advanced BASIC (so you can actually do graphics stuff wit

In 1985, the Atari ST came out and that same year supported booting into its (single-tasking) GUI OS from ROM, quite a step up from the BASIC REPLs I assume you're referencing here.

My understanding is marsupials have the problem that when they're born they need to have a solid enough skull to grasp onto the teats in the pouch, which ends up limiting the potential final brain size the skull can grow to.

Just recently bought a Kindle Voyager (to replace my Kindle 2, which ended up having its screen crack after a fall), and I have to say the physical buttons on this are appealing-- definitely something I miss about the Kindle 2, though the V
