I think the closest thing to that most people have seen is MS Access. In spirit, I guess. This appears to have some huge advantages over Access. If you want the real lowdown, check out the HyperCard article on Wikipedia, but be warned that it seems to be pretty heavily biased towards HyperCard...

I'm surprised...you need to use a VPN to connect to the net, even when you're on campus? They must love their virtualization, I guess. We had a Cisco VPN set up at work at one point, and like you I was happy to find vpnc but I couldn't get it working with our particular setup. Can't say I tried...

Really, who needs spaces in filenames anyway? They're superfluous. :ph34r:

The music in SOD keeps me coming back. I love that Pat included "Could You Be Loved". I can't hear that song and not be smiling. The chiptune instruments add to the fun. I'll add ones I don't see mentioned yet: TileWorld2X STPPC (well ledow mentioned it but he doesn't count since it's his port...

Couple things: 1. I apologize if this has been covered before. I've never seen it done (though I'm sure it's common knowledge to some of you) and I can't think of a good way to search for it. 2. I wasn't sure if it belongs in Cool Ideas, since that's mostly port requests, but I won't be crushed...

The top row of icons in gmenu are like folders that you go between with L & R, so you can categorize things. Since Gruso has one called "pc", I'm guessing it is for interpreted games like Out of this World, Commander Keen, Doom, Quake, etc. Could also be for DOSBox games.

I'd still be tempted to blame the card reader, unless the SD card's write-protect tab is coming loose and the shuffling around ended up fixing it (even temporarily). I just picked up a SanDisk MicroMate. Before that I used an older multi-reader that, while good, does not read SDHC cards. Also I...

You should list which specific emulators you're having a problem with, or maybe just a few if it's a lot of them. Some of the emulators force you to do a "save SRAM" from the menu in order to be able to use the in-game saves. But just try doing save states on gpfce or picodrive, you shouldn't...

We're a little off-topic but what the hey. Blah mentioned How to Think Like a CS. Little known fact: I am trying to pick up a little Python. Here are some other online books and tutorials. A Byte of Python The LiveWires Python Course The docs.python.org Tutorial (by Guido himself) Thinking in...

I enjoyed reading this :P Taking potshots at gp2x standards is both mean and funny :ph34r: I'm not part of standards but I would be down to start a scene war. Quack deserves all the recognition we can give him. Never fails to impress, and I feel strangely connected with him, except I'm...

Oh, well then I'm sorry I missed the previous discussion on it. I was actually searching a bit but couldn't find anything. "._" is a tough one to find. It's sort of lame that you can't shut the resource fork file creation off for specific volumes. You can shut it off for network transfers...

Damn, this whole post was a waste. I'm starting over. I used wget to get the files as well. Firefox grabbed them, Safari showed them as text. Which leads me to believe that the server still thinks they're ascii. wget said they were text but no big deal, they loaded up fine. I do notice a little...

Pretty soon the refills are cheaper than real cigs, even with shipping :D Until that time I'm happy with my manual ones.

Python was written in C and I believe Ruby was too. C is really low or high level depending on the conversation, but I'd still call it high-level. I think the most important thing is the conception of the language (what features will it have, what syntax, etc). I say this because, for an given...

Hexadecimal is just another way of showing the binary. It's easier to read it in hex than to stare down a bunch of ones and zeroes. edit: I just realized that the question was more about designing languages than building a compiler. Read on if you want to be misinformed :( edit again: it was...

Tried the latest. Filenames seem fine, I am not getting any weirdness with the force meter (it empties when the level fails). Jim said he knows how to fix it, but I wanted to say that I do get the start+select thing. It seems like, if you hit them exactly at the same time, it works, but if they...

The singularity happens at the center of the black hole, but only from the point of view of a person who is falling in. Also, while for that observer, the density is indeed infinite, technically what makes it a singularity is that we can no longer measure the gravitational field of such a place...

I think the secret is long hallways :P Thanks for sharing the links to the videos. I'm always sort of trying to learn...the nice thing about videos is they grab your attention, unlike long scrolled pages :(

I probably should have tried to actually run it :)
