I mean DOS is essentially just the frame work between the software and the BIOS/hardware. Once code is running the OS isn't doing too much. In that sense DOS programs run without a…

Oh dear here comes lazy barnacle man Grandpa Joe. Watch them ignore rules of the EULA agreement and they are sucked into the factory ventilation shaft holding the new iPhone Lighte…

Brace yourself for Wozstock 26

Yep, if letting the stock market determine how the business is run, eventually it will be run in a way that will blow out the bottom of the bucket. There is a fine line that needs …

It just feels like all of them are over valued but then we are in a TINA market nowadays. Where else is the money going to go?

It used to be a case of, always avoid the first generation of a product as they would only get it right the second time around. They were brilliant at pushing for new stuff but it …

While we are not at the same state in history, there is a reason why Usury was illegal in many societies. Interest on loans can end up crushing one part of society while enriching …

Louis CK had this line that was far too close to me "Have you ever been so poor that the bank charges you for being poor?". If you have been there, you feel that one.

So much of this poverty is hidden because it makes people feel uneasy and yet it needs to be exposed, not as a means to shame them or to give you pity to feel bad about yourself bu…

When Microsoft was first looking to do a remaster of Goldeneye from N64, even they couldn't manage the legal trouble of that one. Microsoft had the original development team, Ninte…

I did discover a lot of great stuff like that. The funny thing is that there were a few titles that I discovered, absolutely loved and yet apparently were considered bad games. Oh …

I have said this for years. Starship will eventually go to orbit, it MIGHT go a few times to the Moon. It will lucky if it ever makes it to Mars. More than happy to be proven wrong…

Once you have been doing computing for long enough, the best solution is a very well formatted text file. When on Windows I organise my entire work flow in Notepad.

Yeah easy to say that but that is because they are the elite. They have a newton, do you? I don't! Time for Newton 2, I mean they are doing iPod sock 2 so why not Newton 2.

It is said you only realise you are in jail once you feel the chains. And this is something Apple has tried to walk the line on, be locked down but in a fashion that causes the lea…

I am sort of in your boat in seeing what may come. There are a few very rare conditions but the benefits seem to out weigh (ha, I will take the pun!) The down sides. While it might…

I see China is proposing a fair few missions to the outer system with Jutiper in a few years with Uranus and Neptune to follow. But they are just proposals still, but it is good to…

The resource thing always gets me. More ideas of things like dyson sphere's. Where does the material from them come from?

Not only that but they have to routinely boost its orbital velocity as there is still a little atmospheric drag at the height.

That is it. When you become very aware of just how amazingly far away everything else is, fighting over a speak of dust and the only home we have seems absolutely ridiculous. A gre…

Many see this as the answer to the Fermi paradox. Any society on the path to being advanced enough to potentially leave their system probably gains the ability to destroy themselve…

In that sense the Mini M4 is targeted more at Desktop than gaming. Can do short bursts when needed but cannot run the marathon in terms of graphics. Nothing wrong with this, it is …

Sometimes you have to walk with the devil to do good deeds.

This is the one area that Intel ARC absolutely excels at. If ARC doesn't survive long term, that might be its legacy in the same way Matrox pivoted to multi screen cards after the …

I definitely didn't notice, I had no idea they were trying anything like that.
