Nope. "U ... fuck all ... W ... fuck all ... Y and ... fuck all" Yes, really.?

"... now I know fuck all, won't you sing with me...."

And yet, Welsh has 3 more letters than English. Sooo ... who really knows fuck all?

A bB compatible 'toolkit' would make me poop my pants. Come on rich people, make me poop my pants!

Either Andrew or Bob: I would back any of your projects on Kickstarter.

What about a kickstarter for an enhanced batari BASIC like product?

insert Vagisil joke.

insert Vagisil where?

Rusty screwdriver works wonders.

I'm not a big fan of some of the color choices in iOS7 either, but what really bothers me is how badly they screwed up the music app. I want to turn OFF the album cover thumbnails - they waste space.

Yeah, me neither.

I like the clean look(!) of Windows 8 "Metro".

@doctorclu - DPC+ games use an ARM processor on the cartridge (e.g., SPACE ROCKS by @SpiceWare, which is an awesome game, by the way).

Those Mystique games had a lot of interesting body parts on display, if ARM and LEG are not enough. I think there should be more HIP games.

I'm a LEG man myself.

No, I just don't think he has the ability to handle the awesomeness that is the HP Prime Calculator.

My name is Andrew, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

I bow to ye

I had to fix this once before, I'll do so again.  Currently the forum is using MySQL engine for searches, but I will be replacing this soon with Elasticsearch, which is much better in this regard and I should be able to set it to allow two-character search terms again.

This has been fixed, btw. 

@RT, murder? Not by a long shot. So sick of your shit.

@Mxyzptlk, who cares what you're sick of? You're an insignificant speck riding on an insignificant speck that is hurtling through an insignificant speck of space. Get over yourself.

Such an annoying little turd, that is RT.

When it first came out. I was so small the bigger kids had to hoist me up to play. I would get "points" with them by cursing like a truck driver and they thought it cute.

I played it in the mid/late '70s. It was sitting in an airport in Tasmania.

I recall playing it well before space invaders was a thing.

Pretty sure I've played that one too.   Probably at the arcade at the carnival that came through each year for Cheyenne Frontier Days.

That's very cool!

Pretty cool. I worked for 7 years at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute on things like underwater vehicles.

That's a weird-looking Atari 2600.

If you don't look, you won't know how your name is being used.

I check my name about once a week:

And I check for my name in books a few times a year:

Well, come on then... point 'em out and we can discuss. He's a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and former Research Fellow in Philosophy. He's eminently qualified on this issue. It will be interesting to see what errors he's made. Have at it.

Sorry, I'm not going to throw comments back and forth on the internet.  I just can't do that anymore.  If it were an actual conversation, I'd be happy to discuss.  That said, I do think it was a good article and good perspective.

Not an incorrect fact to be seen, apparently.

Yes, I already thanked past me. I must have been thinking of future me when I wrote it.

You've already forgotten more than some will ever learn!

Indiana Jone's father: That's why I write them down in my journal, so I don't have to remember.

Have you ever tried pitching media companies? I've often thought a company like Netflix, for example, could have benefitted from the promotional value of a Stranger Things game on the 2600 (both digital and physical). Ditto for something like Ghostbusters, there should be a 2600 game in limited edition boxes and placed on a Flashback to essentially advertise next year's entry. Also, consumer foodstuff concerns could promote products like in the old days with games adapting their trademarks. Just a thought...

 no, but I think the days of making money programming '2600 games are long, long gone. I was just being whimsical.

I've got millions of ideas...Unfortunately I don't have millions of dollars.

I was afraid the first image was going to be goatse or something...

And was it 2girls1cup instead?

Brilliant! Thanks!

106 would be good

The number will be 42 and that will cause the largest nerd fight in recorded history.

I'd love to have a copy. I hope you aren't getting rid of it because of anything bad, though. 

I have no money.

Wow! I didn't know that YouTube allowed nudity! That's the craziest interview I've ever seen!

How old-fashioned to use an actual photograph, instead of an AI generated image.

Good Luck!  Hopefully you can get something good.  Sometimes a life change is a good thing.

I found one! Yay me.

Very sorry to see you go!   (But I understand)...

As I like to point out, is the "Atari" that hurt you THIS current Atari, or one of the various Ataris in the past?

I learned somewhere along the way, probably around 2008, that the childhood memories I had with Atari stuff, and the corporation calling itself "Atari" was not the same.

So I get in a minor way the "did wrong by me" comment.  I remember when the Atari back then came down on some people wanting to develop games and getting the good ole C&D.   Was a valuable reminder that these memories were not just fun in our heads, but active properties still of some people still hoping to make a buck.

Selling this place to Atari is about akin to crossing the streams.  It is good to separate what you care about from business.  And very rarely do hobby and corporate money mix well.

Yeh sometime in 1981 I paid like $199 or $299 for a 16K Microsoft Ramcard. For Apple II.
