Enjoy paying for your yearly Adobe subscription as your shrink wrap software won’t work.

Ahhh Arstechnica, I wonder if the technical article is by Dan Goodin. (It is)

I enjoyed his C Programming books for dummies series.

Depends on the sport. I don’t think the Olympic equestrian competitors would be dirt poor.

Yes it is cheaper and who will steal or rob a student of pencil and paper compared to a iPad also pencil and paper doesn’t require age verification.

Are you thinking of getting in to NeXTSTEP 3.3/OpenStep 4.2?

Yes I have both copies, prefer the ANSI C second edition my self. I brought another second hand C programming book and when I was working through the exercises in the mid 2000s the GNU C compiler kept issuing warnings as the code used gets() to read strings. :D

If you make 20 billion and the fine is 0.2 billion…. I don’t think they care about their users mental health.

So does this mean bool true = 3 or should bool true = 5?

This will bloat the code a bit.

Ahhh Devs:system-configuration or SYS:system-configuration at 232 bytes. I remember being 11 and trying to make my own compilation disks and trying to figure out what file kept the system prefs on my A500. Don’t forget to copy the RAM: handler from L: if you wanted to use RAM:

  I used Kindwords to make my first compilation disks until I discovered Diskmaster 1.3 and then later on Diskmaster 1.3 and shell commands. 

  This is a nice pointer collection, I used to enjoy putting in compilation disks and seeing the 4 system colours and the 4 mouse sprite colours. I also remember the compilation disks that used “rainbow” or “stripes” which changed the background or text colour on each scanline.


  Bonus points for the kiwi pointer (personal NZ bias).

Was contracted to a New Zealand government department and all the Edge browsers had AdBlock installed by default. I guess the New Zealand government that I worked for is a terrorist organisation. The department that I worked for did take other peoples money though. (Won't give any more information than that).
