I found the z80 delightful to work with, especially in comparison with the 6502 because it had twice as many registers and you could switch banks of them on the z80. you have to love programming to really appreciate assembly, the succinctne

I accidentally down voted you on my iPad because the little buttons are too close, but I agree entirely with what you said and Lisa sounds extremely naive. Fame is a function of much more than just doing stuff. The media, for example, play

last time I checked, the USA has pretty much people from all races. Most US companies will launch something in English only with the domestic market in mind to test the waters, then when it becomes economically viable to do so expand licens

If you read the rest of his comment, you will see his explanation for the opening (and inflammatory) sentence. A basic grounding in recent world history would also likely be useful. The point, if I may be allowed to interpret his intention,

I didn't realize that either! Although it just took me a while to find any that did, and even those that do are not very useful. For example round brackets, I cannot seem to hold down any key to get that character. My biggest grips is 'n'.

Interesting idea, but one of the uses I have for a thumb drive is to store things when I don't have access to wifi. If I have wifi then there are a myriad of other possibilities.

I beg to differ. It's sluggish. Depends what you are used to I guess. I don't find it even a decent calculator, try doing a division!! It launches the calculator and doesn't even both to pre-fill the question.

It's actually pretty interesting the things learned. The preconceived notions that the author had are so US centric. Having travelled around the world, I'd mostly agree, but coming from a European country I maybe saw things a little differe

Talk about wrong tools for the job. A far simpler to write, and more robust solution could be had many other way, simple_html in php for example, or javascript, any DOM parser will be more robust and easier to follow than all those sed/grep

Interesting article, but reading it with the text left aligned with no margin is a very fundamental design flaw that ruined it for me. I'm not being pedantic, but typography and type layout is a fundamental aspect of the user experience.

This is so wrong. There is enormous value in data when you aggregate so much. Even if everything is about cats that tells you lots of things. That the economy is is good shape for example, that people are having so little bad stuff going on

I'm not sure this is very good advice. The people that are likely to comment here (as with product reviews) are those with unordinary experiences. Yours was positive and I am glad for you, however, for every good experience like this I susp

This may be the case, although, I'd argue that Facebook really doesn't do anything that makes it any easier for you to connect with your friends and family than email does. However, let's say it does, that still doesn't mean Facebook is wor
