... Well CPM is a pretty simple OS so a port wouldn't have been complicated. However kudo's to him for getting it done! ... The snickering was at the 8...
Ok makes sense then. The 1.0 version was probably even simpler - from 1981 to 1983 it did not have this functionality: And not to mention the roots of the...
... We use Seapine's TestTrack Pro here at work, and it sucks. And a +1 on ClearCase. Also sucks. When I worked at Citibank, whenever ClearCase was down...
... I used Source Safe back before it became visual. It wasn't bad then, but it didn't pretend to be anything other than a single user repository. I used CCC...
... I remember running across an office that was still using DOS 1.0 and only one computer. Each of the users used their initials as the file extension. Ah,...
... Of all the 'commercial' SCM tools I've used, Perforce is my favorite. Plus, I like their license model of providing the server free and charging for client...
The article forgot to mention that although MS licensed the gui from Apple, Apple 'stole' it from Xerox. Or was that just the concept of a mouse? Memory...
... Jobs saw both on a "goodwill gesture" tour of Xerox's PARC, and somehow convinced Xerox executives (against the protest of the technical leadership at...
I think someone may have already mentioned this here once, but I thought I'd repeat just in case. I just installed PDF Creator tonight, and it's wonderful....
I also had a chance to use PDFCreator this week, and came away very impressed. I wasn't sure if my boss would be able to review the Visio docs I had been...
I've been able to print to PDF on my Linux boxes for years. I'm not sure what package is providing this ability, I just know that in KPrint there has always...
... Right. PDF capabilities are great on Linux. (And particularly on KDE, as you've seen.) But not so on Windows - which is why I'm psyched about finding ...
... Yeah, hmm...I wonder if MS has something to do with this.. ... +10^9 When I got my Mac the complete lack of interest in creating an Intel native version...
I was looking at some LCD monitors and got to wondering if the bigger displays just had the pixels further apart (no, not as far as I can tell). Then I started...
... My take was that whenever there is a tool that lets us create programs of X complexity easily the demand will be for programs of 2X complexity. -- I got my...
... Hmmmm .... I took away something different: many of the less tangible aspects of development (i.e., analysis, design, etc.) are where the real complexity...
I've seen a glimmer of hope in the old Visual Age IDE's drag and drop - not only GUI but it coded connections between objects. But thinking about it now,...
I would think they are going to use the HD standard 16:9 ratio 22x12 would not work but 32x18 is probably what a 37" (very close as it is 36.7" diagonal) ...
I have to say I have actually been very happy with dual monitors. And I used to think they had to match but right now I am using a 20" 1600x1200 together w/ my...
... Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that's what Joel was saying. That was just my take on "Magic Bullets" circa 1987 or so. Even if they do come up with ...
I'd add just one feature: touch sensitive control. Wouldn't it be cool to have a cube wall mounted monitor that you could manage at the touch of a finger, move...
I've been following the renewed interest in functional languages recently, and have to say I've been very intrigued. Some of the concepts make a lot of sense...
I love funcitonal langauges -- some folks have heard me wax on about Dylan here. Actually implementing a graphical DSL right now with functional aspects. And...
