Title: Awesome Off-Topic Japanese Discussion
Post by: Joe[x86] on April 13, 2005, 06:00 PM
Rules: Must use the katakana alphabet. No hiragana or kanji, as these are too complicated. Post the message posted before you, and then post your message (character maps and katanana charts help a lot). You might want to double space your words, because spaces are a bit hard to recongnize.
EDIT: Some sylabels cannot be written in katakana, because their not used in any Japanese words. Pick something close (IE: Baby talk)

*raises hand*

This isn't x86, otherwise I'd gladly use it.

do you mean the box you are on is not x86 or is that some clan referrence? Do you mean to tell me you are on a mac using ppc or something? I shall kill you where you stand if that is the case.

Yeah, it's a mac.  What's wrong with that, exactly? Are you really that brainwashed that you can't even imagine a different architecture? 

Incidentally, I've programmed in 4 different assemblers, and I have to say:
SPARC > x86 > 68k > MIPS

68k and PPC are very, very similar.

Why would you like x86 better than 68k? To me, 68k seems much more logical and easy to work with.

I do not hate the architecture... I just hate the fact that it is a mac. If this were an ibm box running aix I would be saying 'that is sooo leet'.

I didn't much care for 68k when I used it.  It might be because we were using it through a really crappy interpreter which was an ugly X application that crashed a lot.  It would be nice to have a nice console interpreter.  But I wasn't a big fan of the code, I saw no advantage to it.

quasi - Why hate the architecture because it's Mac?  It's not running Mac software.  A person could absolutely hate Windows but use an Intel processor.  In fact, that's like saying that you don't like, for example, Microsoft Word so you hate Windows.
