I have a Vampire 2 Card for My A600. I can do quite a lot of more modern tasks on the machine and connect it to a modern monitor. In my A1200 I have 16GB of storage on a CF card, VGA / DVI and a Music card (I can play back MP3s etc. So

> The typical stay-at-home parent is the mother and while it's getting closer to parity I don't think it's anywhere near even. It seems I misread this.

Why does it have to be even? Why does it matter? Equal Outcome != Equality of Opportunity. Unfortunately the two are often conflated in an attempt to imply there is some form of discrimination taking place by people with nefarious motives.

That intercoolerjs looks pretty decent. With regards to tooling I agree it is too complicated. I really wish that everyone would coalesce around a standard set of tools. But it would be the equivalent of cat herding.

No they are worth whatever the going rate is for their position. The market decides the salary. If programming was a unskilled job you would get supermarket salaries.

I know you are being facetious, however there are options which the market provide. 1) Other companies that are willing to sell you workstation and laptop computers that you can run other operating systems on such as one of the Linux varian

Just doing a quick web search and the company made $224 billion dollars in 2018. Do you honestly think they aren't achieving optimal sales? The proof is in the pudding and they have a very very large pudding. > It's okay to be

Apple are locking down the platform via proprietary chips etc. It isn't a long term solution and shouldn't be relied upon.

While you may scoff enough people are willing to pay the extra for Mac OS and a high level workstation to justify their prices.

by uncle_j 7y ago
Why should they? The market dictates the price. If people are buying Apple products at those prices then why should Apple lower their prices? The answer is they shouldn't.

Make sure you save up the money, pay off all your debts. Start doing stuff at work "properly". Then once you got yourself back upto "match fitness", start looking around.

Thanks. I do remember people started moving over to reddit back then or at least starting to look around. I know I certainly did. But I just want to using traditional forums.

The game is supported on Windows not on Linux. I would wager their anti-cheat stuff detects "their OS looks weird, they are probably doing odd stuff so they are likely to be cheaters". If you want to play the game you should be ru

Adding support for a Graphics API isn't that difficult. What is difficult is adding support for all your internal tooling. This can be anything from existing scripts, build processes to the tooling itself. It simply isn't worth it

I distinctly remember that censorship was a big problem. There was the whole DVD CSS key nonsense or maybe it was the key for Blu-ray or HD-DVD being censored on the site and the users kinda disobeying the sites mods. I certainly stopped us
