PDS required a PC with PDS ISA card (not much more than an 8255 iirc), was never available on the ST..


Let’s wait and see eh ? I don’t rule out anything in this country right now in the foreseeable future..




That's not it, the lower case 'a' is very different.


A quality choice of addresses :) “0xffFFfFFffFFffFfFffFFfFfFfFFFFfFfFFFFDead," "1FuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXXXaAovLX," and "DFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXXXWLW65t."


"But creating vanity addresses with text strings as long as those used in this hack is computationally infeasible. This means that Predatory Sparrow would not have the private keys for the crypto addresses they sent the Nobitex funds to, and have effectively burned the funds in order to send Nobitex a political message,"

Wild story!


I believe they can do 140kg to 800km, but #5 was only 4kg to a 180km x 1800km orbit..


The world seems to have rewritten history, and forgotten Ultima Underworld, which shipped prior to Doom..


Couple "3D" games shipped before Doom. Battlezone comes to mind.

The difference is that id owned the natural progression (from Wolf3D through Doom to Quake) and laid foundation to what we call today a FPS genre.


I think that's because it had such high system requirements that very few people could run it, unlike Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.


It was just about playable on a 25MHz 386. We used to put up with frame rates that would make your eyes bleed back in the early 90s.

Exactly, I played through underworld on a 386 16mhz. Being an rpg, the lower fps was much more tolerable than in Doom, which was in fact unplayable.


I'm sorry but that is not very playable even when it only renders to a quarter of the screen, especially compared to Wolfenstein 3D on similar hardware. It was also quite clunky in terms of interface. The guy on the video spends like 3 minutes trying to pick up a sack on the floor before just giving up.


movsb doesn’t set any flags, so no, it isn’t..


Roundabout when NVIDIA breached 3T USD and ousted Apple from #1 spot: “That is a long way from Curtis Priem's kitchen table, a $2.5M A-round from Sutter Hill and Sequoia, and the NV1.”


Had no idea that even existed!


$movie_name is not the worst movie out there by a long shot. It certainly doesn’t deserve to ride the coattails of the original movie though. It helps to keep that in mind if you decide to watch it. It prevents some amount of disappointment.

In this case, $movie_name is set to “WarGames: The Dead Code”, but I think we all understand why it’s a template.
