That was a good book. I remember getting it at Barnes and Noble back in 1996. Back then AP computer science was taught in Pascal. But his book was in C so I couldn't use any of the code samples. But it was pretty easy to convert to Pascal. Made a rudimentary asteroids game in 320x240 VGA (with page flipping! Although I felt his way of loading VGA latches and then writing was too complicated so I just drew to a memory buffer and copied to alternating video pages with vsync) with prerendered graphics.

It's not the size, it's how you use it!

It's all about truthiness.

No need for a $500 computer when a $100 computer will suffice. Sure, it' refurbished, but it has a Core 2 Duo with Windows 7 on it. For basic tasks, almost any computer from the Core2/Phenom era is sufficient.

Or Frank the pharmacist? These two professions are dominated by women. Perhaps we should make boys more interested in those professions as well somehow.

This already happened in the GP's post! Progressive Insurance decided not to build in Cleveland city proper.

That's how gentrification starts.

Their headquarters are in the UK, ergo they're British.

They probably because they don't want to pay Google.

Yes. I use those plus Spanish on a regular basis.

I don't see the source code for Aqua or iTunes anywhere in that link.

I bought two copies for $15 each back when it first came out (promotion lasted for 6 months, was considering buying more just in case). Went from Windows 7 Home permium to Windows 8 Pro. Wasn't too bad of a purchase: 1) it's faster in games, 2) it comes with Hyper-V, 3) non-English language support (especially Chinese and Japanese) is much better than Windows 7. So what about Metro? What Metro? I have Classic Shell installed so I never see it.

Sudden death is usually due to heart attacks. Being obese doesn't help with this matter.

Oh, so we're now down to this entire list of browsers (minus Opera)?
