I don't think you mean Thrust, thrust was a BBC game. I think you probably mean zarch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarch Zarch was a demo that was supplied by Acorn with the computer. Written by David Braben who wrote Elite. The Archimedes also has the best version of Elite ever.

Yep. I wrote a lot of software for these, I've still got a couple of machines stashed at my parents house. I still find it amazing that most mobile phones use Acorns processor design. Steve Furber and Sophie Wilson are gods.

I had an account with astraweb as well, I'd recommend them as well. I just find downloading NNTP headers very dull and wasteful, hence why I use easynews. No need for newzbin either because they have an uber-impressive search engine.

That'll be retention. (or possibly completion, the files might not have made it to your usenet server) Who did you sign up with? How old exactly are the files you're trying to download? You're usenet provider will state what their retention is. Easynews is 50 days. I wouldn't bother with...

Depending on security settings, doesn't this pop up a security warning about the active-x control in ie? Great code though! We're not digging the clock are we?!

Oh dear.... See above! ;)

My boss said "lets sign up", but the developer programme is not available outside the US yet - and it's only available to selected developers at the moment as well.

Serious platform kill. Farewell windows mobile, we knew you well... The application sales model is killer.

Is Leopard & Intel only. And confirmed. The "free sdk" cannot run apps on the phone, you need to pay the $99 to run on real hardware. Which confirms what I though I was reading on the Apple site in places. I think they need to clear up their site because their is confusing & conflicting...

Textmate trumps them all. Although, I'd rather chew my own arm off than use emacs.

arse. It's intel only.

emacs is the work of the devil. Well, rms, but same difference.

I'm downloading it now - all 2+ gigs of it. I might get a chance to have a play later. No interface builder in the new one, which is a bit of a shame because that is one of the real kick-ass things about the desktop development environment. I still think the $99 is a good deal for developers...

pah! 15 minute edit... Still not entirely clear! Although I'm now leaning more to the the everybody can compile+run on a real device. Different apple pages seem to be contradicting themselves! The keynote contradicts their own site.

I wouldn't bother. From what I can work out, the following applies: 1) The SDK + Simulator are available freely 2) If you want to run your code on a real device you have to pay $99 to become a member of the developer programme, this obviously also includes distribution channels. It's a pretty...

Time to introduce the hamster to the dyson.

Yeah, well that will work. I just assumed you already had data on it, otherwise I'd have just told you to have done that!

Actually, once you've installed that you can run the enable script that is included in the install dmg and that will use this driver everytime you plug in an NTFS drive. It will appear exactly as before, except you'll be able to write to it. No need for macfusion.

Sorry, you'll also need this. http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ this is the user mode driver for macfuse to read ntfs drives.

something you see! macfuse is driver which provides os x with extra filing systems. it's clever because it's basically a set of plugins that run at application level, which makes them a doddle to write and debug. Once you've installed macfuse, it knows how to mount new filing systems...

You won't because it's a command line system for doing the fs mounting. If you want to mount stuff via a gui, then install this: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/08/mgorbach/MacFusionWeb/ Job done.

50 day retention. Awesome completion. Auto par and auto-unrar are worth it alone. You get more gb's on NNTP because anything you download will be larger and you have to get the headers. I've not used NNTP for a long time because the HTTP interface is so much easier and better...

psml. Brilliant. :lolup:

It's because it's NTFS, you can read it but cannot write. If you want to write to NTFS, then download and install macfuse and you'll be able to mount it rw. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

Pah..skimping. My £1K cable has a better class of 1s and 0s. ;)

What did he say?!

easynews. Web interface, online search, auto-par and auto--unrar of archives. NNTP is so 90's.

b****cks. People will believe what they want to believe. I could put a £1000 cable on audio and make another one up at work from scrap and you would not be able to tell any difference. Seriously, you shielding is the key here. Having expensive cables won't make any difference when what's...

what says 'connection timeout'? That doesn't sound like an airport/wifi problem, that sounds like something a web browser would display.

This is where it came from. http://www.destroydrop.com/javascripts/tree/default.html I think it has a problem in an old version of IE or something, but I fixed that in my version. I also altered it so that it didn't require the root node so that it works like the product list. It was...
