Err. You can put useless "factory" apps into a folder to "hide" them.

Actually, you'll probably find that it's the early python catches the worm....

Yeah, they bought patents to this kind of thing. There are third party apps that do it, so if you really want it you can get it. The EU doesn't recognise software patents.

No.

Because I could. ;) double the chance. She'll probably get one as well, gotta get rid of that f**king galaxy note with horrific wiz on it. Every time I pick that phone up to do something on it you may as well have handed me a potato and asked me to change its batteries. f**k knows how people...

Weird thing is, my wife's registration hasn't had an email...and she was around the same position as me in the queue. :dizzy:

Shipped. :) Hopefully be here tomorrow, got the royal mail tracking number.

It's so it can be kept exclusive. Men want one. Women want to be with men who have one. You also have to go through a DNA profiling selection system and be interviewed dragons den stylee before they'll even considering allowing you access to the "owners club". (first rule of owners club...

So when you reinstalled windows, how exactly did you make it "normal and fresh". Sounds like you've done a complete reinstall of windows rather than an upgrade/repair and it's repartitioned the drive to me..... I recommend crying in the corner of the room.

Phwoar!

Cheers mate. Good to hear! :) The short cable was a bit of a ballache too on the one, but, hot damn was it a sexy looking cable! lol

@Tyler@Ultimate what is the charger like? The early "ones" (like I have) came with a european charger and a sketchy euro->uk adaptor that the charger could fall out of and, well, was a bit of a hazard. They changed it for later ones so they had a proper UK plug, just wondering if the early...

I haven't even got as far as installing anything! lol I kinda fancy writing a good old platformer.

Haha. It was valid only for 24 hours and valid only on my email account (which is the one which I got on "one" on), I logged into the forum expecting a flurry of "I got an invite" posts, but nothing. How random. Plus, I used it :tongueout: Edit: I also checked my position in the...

f**k knows why, but I got an invite!

Well, they were running the page without a captcha for a long time. ;) probably more chance of getting an invite from other sources or getting the phone in a flash sale than getting from from that list.

Curiosity got the better of me, watcom c is open source now...tempted to create a freedos virtual machine and have a play!

I found my abrash book the other day, it was hiding in plain sight on the bookshelf. I swear it wasn't there last time I looked for it.

Yeah, all the old techniques. Very few programmers outside of our generation will be familiar with them, hardware scrolling, mode x, etc. If you never programmed a speccy, bbc, Amiga or whatever...then you missed out. Its part of the reason that I enjoy doing embedded software so much (I think...

Cool :) Sprite masking for collision detection, that's where it's at. I still get more enjoyment from playing games from that 80's/early 90's than I ever have done from modern "3D" games. Quake II is the exception, that was brilliant multiplayer. I still think head over heels is one of the...
