Yes. PowerBasic. Since the original developer has passed on (Bob Zale), I don't use it for new coding. However, I have an extensive existing code base. Very fast compiler, very small generated exe's, and very easy to work with. Bu

In short ... too many people take themselves too seriously. too many people reading the intent to malign from internet postings made by people intending to help.

We Americans are not lost because power is taken away from the Federal government. The states (or even more local authorities) should be in charge of this. Ask someone from sparsely populated northern Minnesota what they think when their ca

Stunning out of the box thinking. Fantastic idea and implementation. Color me impressed.

It is more irresponsible to make a comment like this. People should write software in a language that A) can do the job B) they're proficient in. For example, I would much rather have a C program written by someone proficient in C than

Yes. I agree so much. Everyone should be free to purchase the car they want. If it sucks gas, the free market takes care of it with gas costs. I pay a ton more in gas tax (priced per gallon) than a smaller car. I also am free to use the

Unheard of ... unless you live in the midwest. Here in Minnesota, a ton of cars have them because a ton of people own boats and/or rv's and/or snow machines. The same reason a lot own all-wheel drive vehicles.

I'm not sure how this works ... 1) husband is sleeping around. 2) wife says "pay me for sex" ... why in the world would a husband whose sleeping around on his wife pay for sex with his wife.

My frustration with automotive controls isn't limited to touch screens, but I've never used a touchscreen I like. I have two cars with awesome controls - a 2000 camary and a 20007 suburban. Both have 3 knobs: 1) how hot/cold

One thing to understand, my Harley riding brethren, Harley cannot be targetting you. They are clearly targetting new riders. The combustion engine is a hobby as much as anything for 1/2 the riders I know; for them, it's the fun

Interesting that they mention medical records. I'm pretty sure that US HIPAA law would preclude storing any medical records from being stored on a network whose owner you don't have a BA with. From my readings (see Digital Ocean&#

An observation ... just the fact that many here treat the "midwest" as one place in their comments speaks of maybe misunderstanding/ignorance or even arrogance. As a person who has lived in Wisconsin (suburban and rural), Min

I hate these stupid "my db is better than whatever db" articles. 1) What db to be used depends on the situation AND MORE IMPORTANTLY 2) what experience your staff has I can say that 10 years go, I would have chosen M$SQL over MyS

Call me a right-wing loony ... but why aren't we questioning why the government is giving out loans in the first place. Since the proliferation of government student loans in the last 30 years the cost of higher education has gone up s

I am of the opinion that web sites should never make noise automatically. Never, no matter what site. I often have my sound on without even realizing it. Nothing is more disturbing to me or those near me than me going to a site and having

I don't think Joel is wrong per say, however, I don't think he is attacking the symptom not the problem. The answer lies in federalism and giving power to the states. If the federal government didn't have such broad and sweeping power it wo

Let me preface this by saying I'm not particularly a microsoft basher, however this smacks of their history of interface development. Remember COM in the 90's? It was so complicated no one really knew how it worked. The only way to use it w

i wouldn't dispute that c# is a fine language. i wouldn't argue that object pascal is better than c#. i would, however, argue that delphi, mostly because of its incredible two-way design interface is a terrific development environment, supe
