+1 for SensibleSideButtons and ScrollReverser. I find using a mouse painful without them, and I greatly appreciate that they're both free.

To check it's not broken before they roll it out Europe-wide.

Wipeout is clearly not "abandonware".

Your two years of experience is showing.

I recently bought a C64 and was recommended this modern replacement, it works with the vast majority of games https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/commodore/eflr.html

Software engineering is the most desk bound job in existence.

It's been 19 years since this problem has been fixed and yet the bad code is still there.

This is looking at the past with today's eyes. There was no concept of "maintaining" games as you might expect today. Games were finished, put out on disk or CD, and that was usual…

Indeed, if anything is slow, it's GIMP.

I believe ScummVM supports many of Scott's games.

I read the page on an Android phone in Chrome and it worked perfectly.

I also use one. The software is available on Android too and as long as your phone has NFC it will work. I was surprised that this method of reading blood sugar wasn't mentioned in…

Yes, absolutely right, and for games it was the only option with no fast floating point and very limited memory.

Same thought here. "Apparently .ex_ files are actually .exes!" - no shit, Sherlock!

What an odd point of view. It doesn't sound like you respect your users at all.

I've got 20 years of experience and have never bothered with side projects, portfolios or the like. You have to have the confidence to pitch your real experience and let it shine o…

I have to say I agree. Presenting a login screen early is a great idea, as most people take a short while to log in, and in that time system can finish initialising - as long as th…

The cast only devices haven't been discontinued. I bought one this week. Only the Ultra has been discontinued.

Software patents are often used to stifle competition.

Totally agree, this is just a new underpowered feature phone that looks nothing like it's "inspiration".
