    1. @rotation Groovy.

    2. @theonepony Or I could mention Object Pascal. Or Forth. BUT MY FAVORITE IS colorForth. HANDS DOWN.

    3. @theonepony oh the memories.. I learned Fortran my freshman year but it seems to have mostly died out as do most lower level languages. Machine languages are just too tedious

      1. @nimbusbuster I've been tempted to try to learn 6502 machine language. . .

        1. @scribus That just sounds unpleasant.

          1. @theonepony Yeah, but then I could homebrew NES games! (more likely - fail miserably at it!)

            1. @scribus You could home brew them with something simple. Like Gamemaker. I bet you can find a cartage writer on the web somewhere.....

              1. @theonepony Hmm... Maybe I could... And the nerd-cred of producing my own cartridge will be only mildly lessened! Also, I probably wouldn't finish regardless of the path I take. :p heh

                1. @scribus I've done it. All you would need to worry about is keeping the graphics poor enough so your NES wouldn

                  1. @theonepony Well, if for some reason I ever did it, I'd probably just distribute the ROM. Maybe make a hard-copy for myself.

                    1. @scribus Heh, yeah. You would also need to find a way to convert the Gamemaket script to the machine language..... This is becoming more and more interesting.

                      1. @theonepony Boy, at this point I'm almost glad I can't remember what my old "brilliant" game idea(s) was (were). XD

                        1. Would I be a bad person for running virtual boxes of Windows 7, Haiku, and Parted Magic?

                          Friday, 11-Nov-11 08:49:33 UTC from web
                          1. @theonepony nope, you would be a bad pony though

                            Friday, 11-Nov-11 08:50:37 UTC from web
                            1. @nimbusbuster I dunno. I sometimes feel like people think I'm crazy when I say that. I used to also run USE, but I got tired of all the metal.

                              Friday, 11-Nov-11 08:51:56 UTC from web
                          2. @theonepony What on earth would you do with a virtual Gparted box?

                            1. @ceruleanspark I'm not really sure. It's fun though.

                          3. @theonepony I have Windows 8 and WebOS running in VMs.

                            1. @ceruleanspark Windows 8? I hoping that's a typo because if you have a beta copy i'm going to be really jealous

                              1. @nimbusbuster Windows 8 Developer Preview: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516

                            2. @ceruleanspark Oh yeah? I haven't bothered to stick 8 onto my machine yet. Might have to dick around with it this weekend.

                              1. @theonepony In all honesty, like my experiment with ChromeOS on my EEEPC, it wasn't worth the effort it took to get working.

                                Friday, 11-Nov-11 09:00:00 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                1. @ceruleanspark I had ChromeOS on my laptop for a while. It was pretty disappointing.

                                  1. @theonepony Typical google product. They haven't launched anything good since Gmail.

                2. @scribus 't explode.

        2. @scribus oh wow... I think the last person I know who learned that was my Uncle when he was in college haha

          1. @nimbusbuster No school like the old school. lol

    4. @ponydude2143 Android is...OK, but like Google+, it feels sort of...unfinished. Like google was like "Welp, there you go. Have fun with that"
