Hey, If we're going to welcome Bea, let's welcome WAS back...

Well..at least his isn't part of .NET, or else it would never get finished...(we can all have a sense of humor, can't we?)

You say that like .NET finishing is a good thing

good, bad, or indifferent...Vaporware is still vaporware (well..other than the fact the I have a copy of 2003. NET Enterprise Server RC1 sitting on my desk right now)...

Er, yes he is. He has done quite a bit of very good, non-paintball related computer work. Like the first Mac emulator for the PC and Amiga. And few other non-trival things. SYBIL, Emplant, SoftMac.

Perhaps, you should do a little research before you start slagging somebody's technical skills.

However easy, you think it is for him to make PIC software, doesn't mean that he stole his software from other boards. He does not have a history of stealing other peoples ideas/code. We have enough reasons to dislike him, so don't go around backhandedly accusing him of IP theft.

WOW! A MAC EMULATOR! thats hardcore! i dont think so. try developing a signaling gateway for 3G cell phones, DSP modules, network interfaces and protocols.

if a 3 man team can do that, then whats so big about one guy making a mac emulator?

Well automaggin2 my dad can beat up your dad!

In your oppion thoes things may be more difficult to you. Bill Gates may say driving stick is harder than programming Longhorn. It really doesnt matter to you what is difficult and what isnt. Your oppinion is just that YOURS. Don't talk down about his work. I think WAS has shown that he knows what he is doing and has applied his talents.

If you think making a fully operational Mac emulator to run OSX jaguar is so easy then why dont you make one? I know more about cars than you do, but im not trying to prove it by comparing my work to your then down talking it. Show some ingetrity and class befor your next post.

Are you saying that you're only a good programmer if you've done one of those things? Or are you trying to compare yourself to WAS, by demeaning something you obviously know almost nothing about?

Frankly to me, what you've said actually seems very simple. I, with little knowledge of your industry besides five years working in Bell Labs's Operational Technology Center (Org 1FA93), will now mock your examples.




Actually I won't. I know how tough all of those tasks are, and I won't say that what you posted is easy. Given a choice? I'd rather do the telecom stuff you said than make a Mac Emulator.

If you really have to ask that, then I'm not sure you'd actually understand. That's the beautiful part about mocking something you don't know about, without bothering to do any research on it. It makes one look like a lack-witted anti-sophisticate.

There are enough reasons to attack WAS before, but inventing reasons or belittling his skill without basis, doesn't reflect well on the whole of AO.

This thread is done...

BTW... I do emulation too... I can waddle and quack just like a duck... really! *Quack Quack*
