Well, maybe both.
Yes I probably wouldn't enjoy being on a site that went on and on about "Windows Rocks/Linux Sucks" (as much as this site does the reverse, anyway).
But that kind of rhetoric is not really why I read this site. As an example, I found the (apparently) 1st-person accounts about air traffic and ATC procedures yesterday to be one of the most informative and entertaining bits I've read in awhile.
Slashdot has (more than?) its fair share of trolls, and troll articles, but there is (sometimes) a depth here that I haven't really found anywhere else yet; and that includes your local newspaper.
ClearCase also supported the typical 'check your workspace ("view"?) out to a local place on your hard drive, rebase it occasionally, make your changes, and check it in' model, and that seemed to work fine.
And yes we had a full-time administrator for the system. Would've been suicide not to.
I mean, the reward for waiting actually needs to be worth something.
And for my own personal use, I'd love to be able to throttle a dos 6.22 VM to 486 speeds so some of those ancient programs can be ran for historical purposes. (Without bombing the processor with dummy NOP and other MOSLO crap so we keep our power consumption down.)
I assume you've checked out DosBox and its 'cycles' configuration option/command? It's not precise but it works quite well for me.
I'm not trying to badmouth him, it's amazing that he does what he does, but it isn't immediately obvious why he carries so much respect.
The site at least (anandtech) gets respect because from them, articles of this quality level are not perceived as a fluke.
Merely as an example, if this had come from Tom's Hardware, I would have been floored.
You do realize that at the end of the world, no one's going to care if you put out a new beta of your new Robocode robot, even if it is unbeatable.
Some of us think it's funny you had to actually link to robocode to call out a nerd. Only nerds make jokes they have to explain.
The rest of us are busy optimizing our movement strategy routines for the next beta.
