Well, usually sound chips are FM Synth's or DSP's I just got to pondering, "What the hell is SID?" it is like fm synth like, but not quite what do you mean? that the sid chip had wavetable capabilities? it's just a synth i think or analog signal processor ? why classify it? * smoke/#tunes is off to play rick dangerous No, it didn't use FM at all smoke: Trying to explain to a potential investor about it smoke: hard to classify it, since it doesn't use FM or DSP-like commands * Downix/#tunes is stuck with non-techno potential investors, that understand common lexicon 01:50pm Oh well Downix: explain SID to me I can classify Paula, it's a combined FM/AM synth with control logic (never saw it programmed; only heard about it; and probably heard it long ago and/or in x64) Fare: SID is at it's heart a customized 6502 processor that is focused on sound generation 6502, too? how many 6502's did the C64 have? Fare: At maximum, over 800 different variations of the 6502 uh? * Fare/#Tunes learnt programming on the 6502 Noone knows how many I've identified over 100 myself Between the models and patches the 6502 was a fantastic CPU too bad they never continued it past 16-bits even the 16-bit version was not so good I know and apple underclocked it, too * Downix/#tunes nods (for compatibility with the remaining ancient circuitry, I guess) Commodore lost their best engineers when Tramiel left Commodore never understood zilch about mass storage Nope Tramiel understood, when he left, so did Commodore's vision 02:00pm Well, he understood that computers needed to be inexpensive enough and powerful enough for people His replacements made every mistake they could -:- SignOff icedfire: #TUNES (Ping timeout for icedfire[a-ii1-20.tin.it]) apparently the mass storage requirement never made it into "powerful enough" How come his Atari's were so bad, then? Actually, that was due to the fact he didn't get the key engineers They were like souped down (but much cheaper) Amigas. * Downix/#tunes nods and couldn't be naturally expanded with mass storage, either He rushed the Atari into production when he failed to get Amiga No He thought HD's were wasteful and expensive HDs were a key to the success of the PC * Downix/#tunes nods -:- icedfire [mibin@62.11.102.39] has joined #tunes HD's were one key having cheaper and bigger HDs as a standard was an essential element for poeple to choose the PC in the office, and later for games * Downix/#tunes nods a non-proprietary hardware system was the main key; the rest followed, albeit with an initial office bias * Downix/#tunes nods not quite non-proprietory, but a widely-availible hardware system (the damn Macs had 3 times smaller HDs for three times the price) many of the parts in a PC are still proprietory ok, a mishmash of proprietary hardware interoperating through non-proprietary specifications with lots of competing chipsets. Right But it was WIDELY AVAILIBLE Proprietory works if it sticks to open standards and is widely availible the non-proprietary aspect was what made it widely available * Downix/#tunes nods Depends s/works/works better/ Anyways the market chooses choice. whatever gives most choice is chosen. most != a lot * Downix/#tunes nods * Fare/#Tunes considers his pile of old floppies However now companies are forgetting that shall I salvage their contents to harddisk, or just dump them? companies have little memory 02:10pm Well, I put all of my old floppies on a CD myself Fare: indeed. The key to Eddas will be an aherence to open standards even within our proprietory setup Namely we're just making chips 8) * Fare/#Tunes considers that other people are more maniacal than me at saving stuff, so that whatever I may save may be mostly petty and redundant crap for instance, would it be worth saving pctools7 ? probably now or indiana jones 3 ? probably not Fare: Things will get interesting over the next few years whaddyamean? like, saving old versions of linux installations? Fare: Sure, Linux is cool to collect so that the 1.2 kernel isn't completely useless w/o its useland? hehe Hum. That just means keeping old SLS CDs to me. Hey, SLS CDs must be collectibles! hehe Too bad I don't have one. (and I scrapped my 50 floppy set long ago) oh man (actually, I only had 40 floppy -- skipped the OI section -- C++ sucks) ok 02:20pm -:- anthos [kalreem5@sdn-ar-001flflauP015.dialsprint.net] has joined #tunes -:- SignOff hcf: #TUNES (Ping timeout for hcf[me-portland-us727.javanet.com]) indy3 was a really cool game :) def. worth saving, pctools otoh I think I have still as well ;) -:- hcf [nef@me-portland-us727.javanet.com] has joined #tunes 02:50pm -:- ultima_ [ultima@user-38lc64p.dialup.mindspring.com] has joined #Tunes hiya -:- ultima_ is now known as ultima nemaste ultima Beggyerpardon? nemaste is a greeting I see. hi ultima Heya.

The Universe. /me knockes a modest king apparently which universe?

I'll make a good earl in the outback ;) 03:00pm ultima: I'll settle for the earth :) hum. I/O errors in last sectors of pctools7. Is that copy-protection, or just bad floppy? probably bad floppy was there ever a good floppy? * Fare/#Tunes wonders how he will finish "the last express", with the 4th CD being kaput * Fare/#Tunes also had to get a pirat copy of ultima6 after the original one passed out Fufie: kings need enemies as well Fufie: they're politicians, don't forget intellectual property sucks. It means you supposedly can't freely exchange copies of your programs when the media fail eih: but in a monarchy the enemies and friends are bound to be the nobility and there is no such thing as a noble politician.. oxymoron :) anarchy is the way to go * Fare/#Tunes saw branded floppies fail, and no-brand, hand-holed DD->HD floppies last it seems as a plane with the french flag on it has crashed in guatemala Fare: the people who can afford brand names probably want their floppies to fail so that people need to buy more Fufie: F. Bastiat was a noble politician, at least in the moral sense. fare: there has been several politicians who came from the nobility, and yes there supposedly exist politicians with the heart in the right place Fufie: my brother almost went to south america, and escaped a crash and a deadly flood. -:- SignOff Downix: #TUNES (BitchX: try our lowfat flavor too!) Fufie: I have yet to see any of the latter. * Fare/#Tunes notices that an ad for Chirac in 1986 said "He has the heart to the right" 03:10pm ultima: they are a rare species, but they do exist I think -:- SignOff ultima: #TUNES (Read error to ultima[user-38lc64p.dialup.mindspring.com]: Connection reset by peer) ultima: I know a few ones in France, but they've been systematically let at secondary places in their respective parties. I think maybe JS Mill qualified as a decent politician sure. Before I learnt about Bastiat, Mill was my favorite. they are selected to EU parliament? JS Mill is an ex-parrot parrot? ex-parrot is an expression from a monty python skid and is used in english to refer to something which "has ceased to be", ie dead even Margaret Thatcher has used the phrase in the english parliament when referring to communism "God is dead -- Fred" "Fred is dead -- God" Poor Friedrich haha why poor? hehe -:- SignOff anthos: #TUNES (Leaving) anybody here has studied Wittgenstein? briefly tried to read some of it, and decided he focused too much on irrelevant problematics. i had a course on him once.. scored a 3 on the test Friedrich was maltreated in his last years by his (nazi) sister ice: some, but it's not the philosopher I know best. the wittgenstein archives are here in town though Fufie: you have his archives? ice: no, they're in the town where I live, I could drop by if you need anything though http://www.hd.uib.no/wab/ thanks for the url, Fufie 03:20pm Wittgenstein lived in norway? he lived in Austria, then in England why they have that stuff on an .no site then? norwegians are somewhat interested in philosophy norway rules! the famous contemporary philosopher Arne Nęss is norwegian and the popular writer Josteing Gaarder wrote "sophie's world" which sold pretty well -g the greeks, germans, blimeys and the french have a more impressive track record though :) abi: class warfare is at http://www.laputan.org/reflection/warfare.html -:- SignOff hcf: #TUNES (Leaving) Jostein Gaarder sucks! the basic idea behind "sophie's world" is nice, but the implementation plain sucks what the implementation would be? I am not a big fan of it, but it has introduced philosophy to a lot of readers who would find university philosophy too tough -:- AlonzoTG [Alonzo@207-172-50-128.s382.tnt7.lnhva.md.dialup.rcn.com] has joined #tunes university philosophy sucks plus it's not philosophy, it's just history of philosophy and pseudo-philosophy you can't really give John Doe a copy of Kierkegaard or Nietzche everyone is a philosopher, but some are more famous than others ice: some are more original and some are mor thorough Fufie: like? -:- icedfire is now known as firedice ice: I find Marx to be somewhat original and Locke was also important 03:30pm ice: as for thorough you have Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein next question is: what to do with all these scrap floppies? is anyone in the world accepting them? I also liked Hume a lot, he ruined everything the philosophers till then had "agreed" on.. hum. Maybe one of those romanian guys... and it was Kant's job to try to patch it together afterwards I've heard lots of good about Hume, but haven't read anything by him yet i think i am more into philosophy than philosophers What I could read of Kant was nice; but most of it, I couldn't manage to read. Hume is the guy who clearly explains that nothing can be proven which it takes centuries before Russel and Popper makes accessible to others Kant uses a lot of words to say nothing ;) Kant is difficult to read most philosophers are hard to read though :-/ have you ever read some Nietzche writings? I have just read explanations of Nietzche, not the real books or whatever it is spelled let's call him Friedrich :) hehe Kierkegaard was more accessible as he was available in the original language, danish, which is easy to read for norwegians Nietzsche is nice, but he destroys a lot, and doesn't construct much. my philosophy vocubalary is in norwegian so I don't know terms in english He mostly ascertained the ruin of old dogmatic christian morality. is spoken Danish as easy as written Danish to you? Fufie: mine is in french. Fare: mine is yet in another language zarq: no zarq: danes speak with a potato in their mouth, but they write understandably ;) firedice: which? -:- SignOff AlonzoTG: #TUNES (Have Nice Day :)) hehe.. i never heard a Dane speak.. so i wouldn't know :) i heard enough Norwegians though i have read some his writing on Zarathustra dutch isn't that different from norwegian I think some extracts from his writings, that is -:- firedice is now known as icedfire ouch. Where's my second prince of persia disk gone??? fufie; it is not really that different, no. prince of persia wasn't one of the best games though... not something i'd mind losing 03:40pm fufie; we have a dialect here that is even pronounced almost as if it were norwegian zarq: friesich? jup talking to people in Groningen was not difficult ;) zarq: sweden? icedfire; netherlands ahh pop was a great game.

Wing Commander 2. Is it worth salvaging? how can a graphicless game require them? eihrul: arcade games are definitely better with graphics eihrul: but I agree graphical nethack just sucks.

convenience I use it "convenience"?!? water: yer a winluser u wouldnt understand the bitch is up before you can say command line editor i have editors that responsive and they're wysiwyg in X pico + edit + F2 + y + filename + enter doubleclick on filename :) f2 is for exiting or right-click and pick editor of choice i type faster than I click i want to keep my wrists beyond age 30 :) the problem is you're ignoring the clicks required to wade through directory trees yeah true i hate that command line autocomplete with tab is heaven but changing paths any other way isn't easier you don't have to vchange paths autocomplete with tab? for example /home/files/Projects/f-cpu/fcpu.h geez. yet another hidden feature sorry, of course it's in the man page i'm jsut too stupid to look it up, of course ;) you just do /h +Tab /fi + tab /P +tab /f +tab /f +tab eneter uhh yeah whatever actually every book intro tells you about it you mean even if i get a book on java programming, it tells me this? :) autocomplete is the most useful feature of linux you mean, of bash 08:50pm it's faster than ruining your eyes swimming in icons bash yes he's got a point there ok, i'll ruin my eyes scanning console text water: well u dont have bash in windows they copied autocomplete and added it to browsers yes, there's a bash for pmode dos actually console text you can skim icons not so easily there's also gcc and a full set of unix commands but let's not beat up on water he was missing for like a month no water the Equestrians 101 ways to lure chicks guide does not tell you about bash i have no books about computers, and don't ever want one or wnt to need one s/computer/using computers SLACKER :) sorry about the caps unintented sorry, i like to be intimately acquainted with women, not machines ;) see now you're just spreading the myth computers are rocket science 09:00pm huh? there's nothing intimate avbout knowing shell commands yeah, it's arbitrary and stupid knowledge I mean come on it's the closest thing to talking to the machine to tell it what to do because it's not the Thing I Want To Do, it's the Thing I Have To Learn To Do To Get The Computer On My Side that's only because DOS was a castrated imbecile interface huh? we're talking about bash+commands not dos. dos really sucks yes but the backlash against command line comes from DOS oh so? sure any GUI is better than DOS who cares about the f***ing backslash? look i'm working on a program that configures everything you ever need configured without searching for icons nor commands heh the plain and simple truth is shells give me better tools to build that product -:- hcf [nef@me-portland-us806.javanet.com] has joined #tunes "eveerything you ever need configured" famous last words of an os-installation process you have to specify but otherwise it does its work yeah, infecting your machine with a means to cripple it unnecessarily (boy i'm on a real rant tonight) same here :) my experience has been this: brb sorry 09:10pm Using Windows, I bitched and never got anything done and just whined abourt all kinds of tools unavailable to me Using Linux, I have options other than bitching or waiting for Micerosoft or Symantec to read my mind back yeah, open source rocks, but i hate c and the things made from it which is why i'm so much into squeak the thing is C is the only language a person could possibley remember all the details about huh? what's squeak? i think squeak is a cool language descended from Smalltalk, at http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/ or at http://www.squeak.org/ or The open source mouse that roars! it runs on at least 12 oses it's a smalltalk/80 style system is smalltalk lispish? in a sense... it's lispish, but entirely oo sort of a 'pure' oo language (one of the very few) pure oo hmm i've always had this feeling lisp was for nurture oo for nature which is why gcc is horribly unmaintainable 09:20pm smalltalk is nothing like c++ they tried doing it purely by nurture i'm not saying it is squeak definitely would be on the "nature" side c++ has soime fuzzy stuff C++ is all fuzzy... it workls but it's so fucking easy to go too far "go too far"? abstract beyond the point of sanity oh though Java should have multiple inheritance well, the smalltalk style is ridiculously easy to "take to far", but i don't think that there's a downside to it don't like interfaces? it's redundant why? just use multiple inheritance but multiple inheritence gets dirty because an interface is just a sheell anyway er.. kinda if you treat it like one, yes you still have to define separate play functions for different media sure, in java you should try squeak it's much simpler to code in interfaces serve merely as a reminder to the programmer sure, but so does inheritance in a sense i'll look into it well then it's even worse to rename multiple inheritance :) 09:30pm bah water: with slots, are interfaces even needed? dunno probably not i guess i'm finding out that a lot of peple who don't get involved a little bit in the tools they use are just nasty people to be arpound just my experience water: because by virtue of the hash table nature of them, you get interfaces and polymorphism for free rares: referring to me? :) no oh i work at a cellular phone directory service eih: yeah, i guess so and I will tell you now that it's not just enter name ghet num,ber heh it's bizzarely more complicated than that must it be? 1. The south has no conception of towns people say Northern Virginia you mean townships oh 2.
