Very likely.
I thought I saw an article about why the version number was 6.1 in Raymond Chen's Old New Thing blog, but my Google-fu is apparently failing to locate it.

Not just driver compatibility.
Windows 7 fixed a bunch of Vista compatibility issues with programs built for XP simply by having the version be set to 6.1.
Turns out that companies doing braindead Windows version detection of
if (majorVersion >= 5 && minorVersion >= 1)
had it fail spectacularly for version 6.0.
I had to search every area of my Google+ profile's accounts section until I finally ran across the button to do so. I don't think their help pages even tell you the correct location for it, and now that my profile is deleted, I can't go back and tell where it was (it just prompts me to create a Google+ Profile when I do).
I don't know about if you've never had a Google+ profile, but I deleted mine earlier today and can still comment on my own videos... haven't tried replying to someone else, though.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Premieres On Linux, 2 Years After Windows
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
...and you should check a dictionary instead of an encyclopedia.
Bugs can be reported here.
You'd better hope that Valve pays more attention to it than the Source-1-Games bug tracker, which is basically ignored at this point.
Lately I've been addicted to Team Fortress 2.
Runs *flawlessly* native under Linux. Fastest load times compared to windows.
Such a blast.
Conga Fortress 2 for the win!
Anyway, back on topic... I do wonder if Valve will rename half the server
- sizeof(string) (I may have got the name of the function wrong) returns the length of a single byte rather than the length of the entire string. Who the hell thought that would be a good idea?
Hey, just because you don't know the language doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong. Documentation for sizeof would have told you that it's for telling you the size in bytes of datatypes on a particular system. It's often paired with malloc to allocate memory for something.
The C specification is remarkably lax on the size of its numeric datatypes, too. To the point where eventually a bunch of bit-specific sizes were introduced because the basic versions weren't. example: uint32 is a 32-bit unsigned integer, where as uint is an unsigned integer that's 16-bits or larger depending on the platform.
For that matter, even pointer size changes depending on systems. For instance, it's 4 bytes for 32-bit Intel systems and 8 bytes for 64-bit Intel systems.
IV is obvisouly trying to improve its reputation
Well, yeah... it's really obvisou they're trying to get people to stop dwelling on their patnte lawstuis.
Dhu!
Right, but didn't the 86 have more features than the 84?
If it did, I couldn't say... I never compared them and the last time I actually used an 85/86 was in the mid-90s.
Only if you count games like Candy Crush and Farmville. Let's face it, gaming consoles and expensive video cards are being sold to teenage boys, you know, the ones that actually buy big game titles. If women are such a big market, they'd be pandered to. Or maybe women can make their own games. They should. Obviously these misogynist devs hate money. It's right there for the taking.
I accidentally read that as "buy big game titties" and then realized... that's true, too.
Wait, did I just argue one of Anita Sarkeesian's points for her?
Anyway, one of the things about games: You don't necessarily know who makes the games. For all I know, Alison McWarlover is heading up Call of Duty: Yet Another One... much like Kim Swift was the Project Lead on Portal.
That second one was name dropped to prove a point. Most people probably didn't know know Portal was lead by a woman because it wasn't relevant to the game's success.
Ten years later, the base model still has 480 kilobytes of ROM and 24 kilobytes of RAM, its black-and-white screen remains 96x64 pixels, and the MSRP is still $150
I really hate it when people pass off misinformation.
As tempting as it is to call the black and white version the base model, it doesn't appear to be manufactured any longer.
Which means that the current base model is the version that has with 3.5 megabytes ROM and 21 kilobytes RAM, with a color screen that is 320x240 screen. The calculator also has a rechargeable battery (type unknown) and an MSRP of $140.
You can find this information (except the MSRP) on this chart.
Incidentally, Amazon US currently sells the color LCD model (black) for $104. Other colors seems to cost more.
As strange as it sounds, the TI-84 is a newer model than the TI-86.
Basically, the lines went like this:
TI-82 -> TI-83 -> TI-84 Plus -> TI-84 Plus Color
TI-85 -> TI-86
Since it's not obvious on that list, the 82 and 85 came out around the same time, as did the 83 and 86.
Incidentally, it's important to note that the stats listed in the summary are for the black and white version and not the newer color version and yet it's the color version's MSRP they're listing.
Last time I tried that it gave me some error. Something about needing --no-preserve-root
So, to remove this do I just have to do this?
sudo rm -r
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
