Turn a netbook into a tablet I'm going to try it sometime
why would you when you can get a tablet for like $150
cause i don't want an android tablet and would like decent storage space
give it a year

How many gigs of gay porn do you have currently?
approx. 80gb
Yeah and there is a more recent article saying so long $200 windows tablets but who knows maybe they still will i hope so cause that is what I want and when I think of something that should be made ti usually comes out a year laterQuote:

I speculate though. I would be gobsmacked to learn microsoft's engineers built an ARM version of "windows 8" (just call it windows-on-apple already) from scratch
It probably shares a lot of code with wimo, I dunno windows 8 is a piece of shit I haven't looked that far into it.
from what i've read windows RT was built almost entirely from scratchQuote:

hey elezark just do what i did and start using it
Does it blow my computer up if i start to compile and run?

If is true, i will be damned
yawn
I want a tablet running windows xp tyvm
they have existed for years, there was even a tablet edition of XP. It's not going to be as thin or have the battery life of a modern device though, I don't even think you can get one with multitouch.Quote:

Good luck.
Sounds like an idea stevey would come up with. Don't do it.Quote:

I'd also expect it to be kinda difficult to memory-map and table addresses for bus components like I/O, DMA etc without an assebler.
Then again, maybe there's some bloated one-size-fits-most HLL library that can directly access all memory & memory-mapped devices and bypass the assembly layer completely; in the process soaking up alot of unnecessary clock cycles to run the same program. You'll notice this particularly when trying to "port" user software from one architecture to another without actually rebuilding it from the machine level, for a completely alien instruction set.
It happens all the time.
If old console games were all written assembly (and they virtually all were, up to the mid 90s) they would've looked like dogshit on SNES compared to megadrive version, or vice versa, and that hasn't really changed despite that modern video games are impractical to code in asm. So now, even new games generally look/play best on 1 of the three leading game consoles, depending on how well the HLL they used to program the game compiles and assembles on those platforms.
you just said a bunch of shit and then said "it happens all the time" to someone whose job it was to write a modern bootloader and real time operating system for the blackfin 548
so, no
it happened in the seventies
the more microsoft products emulate apple products, the more microsoft dies. I hate it.
You can't convince investors and stockholders that they are fucking retards and things should continue the way they were before; investors and stockholders expect to be given some "spectularly moving presentation" at their gay little meetings where some newly hired know-it-all gives a speech about his 3 point plan to fix everything -- including new-age jargon that was pulled out of his ass and blah blah blah
tablets are fucking retarded as fuck; they are awkward to hold in your hand -- and the technology really hasn't caught up with the idea yet anyways.
When tablets are able to hold quad cores and 4 gigs of ram, let me know
what the hell are you talking about? everything microsoft has done since ms-dos has been an attempt to emulate apple products. macs had a 'trash' like 11 years before windows had a 'recycle bin'Quote:

The Windows OS has its flaws, but its interface just makes more sense than Mac -- much more sense than some esoteric "double click here or click a combination of funny looking esoteric symbols on the keyboard like a clover-leaf that simply aren't congruent with any sort of logic". The "Windows" button sort of make's sense - it 'windows' out of whatever 'window' you are in. But the clover leaf button? Why the fuck is it a clover leaf?
Going through elementary school in the mid 90s, I had more than one opportunity to test out both the mac and windows OS, and you want to know which one made more sense, and the one which every peer of mine agreed as being 'better' to use? Windows OS.
I remember thinking as early as 5 years old, "Why the fuck does this button do this?" when using a macintosh, but then attempting to do the same thing on windows and being able to figure it out without issue.
The people who designed the windows OS interface designed it to be more intuitive. Ultimately, once you have become so familiar with both operating systems that you know how to do everything on both, it's just a matter of how fast each is. So what does Mac bring to the table?
Well, Mac "doesn't" have viruses, because no one who matters uses Macs so who the fuck would write viruses for Macs?
A shitload of software isn't compatible with Macs, and Mac is the one who dropped the ball on this one as far as I'm concerned... Mac STILL isn't fully compatible with Flash and such -- these are things that have been around for more than 10 years; it's time to get with the fucking program
typical weed overdose rant
People simply have bad memories which they associate with their Windows PC they bought back in 2001, and now they finally realize it's time to upgrade and because they have so many bad memories associated with Windows, they consider buying a Mac.
Shame on them.
If they compared the two operating systems at the time back in 2001, Windows beat Mac by a landslide.
Mac OS back in 2001 was essentially inoperable; it was filled with more bugs and random crashes than an equivalent machine running windows by far.
They are fucking morons and I hope they burn in Hell; the world of electronics is actually starting to shift economic interest towards apple instead of microsoft, and I have to question WHY GOD, WHY. The dipshits at Apples are TOO INCOMPETENT to create a reliable OS, they have proven this time after time.
I refuse to use a Mac, and the next FUCKING MORON who comes up to me in real life and gives me some ill-advised regurgitated argument about how Mac's are better than PCs because they have "less viruses and they are so much more artistic and fashionable", I'm going to kick his god damn teeth outh
sorry I'm very drunk right now and misspellings and incoherent sentence structure are a bitch.Quote:

Plug Drugs, would you google about a videogame that you massacre Apple employers in Apple HQ?
