** * EAT FLAMING DEATH! * **

>>154
There, the funniest thing I could think of. And by the way, how DO you make something bold and italic in WakabaMark? Because, I really don't know... ^_^;;

156 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2006-10-04 06:28 ID:Heaven

>>155
<b><i>like this?</b></i>
actually, you don't. you don't make text <b>bold</b> or <i>italicized</i> with wakabamark, you make it <em>emphasized</em> or <strong>strongly emphasized</strong>. combining emphasis and strong emphasis doesn't really make sense. if you want to make things bold and italicized, use html instead of wakabamark.

C is a cross-platform language, dammit, unless your definition of "cross-platform language" is "a language in which it is not even possible to do something platform-specific", and that would be silly. I've written dozens of cross-platform C programs. You only have to try.

INSTANT REVIEW: x86 assembly
It's fun when you're programming your shiny new 3GHz $500 processor with an instruction set that was antiquated 20 years ago, and realize it's gonna be around for another 20 years.

INSTANT REVIEW: MIPS assembly
It's fun when you're programming your four year old 1GHz $5,000 processor with one of the cleanest instruction sets around, and realize that nobody makes MIPS systems anymore.

INSTANT REVIEW: ARM assembly
It's fun when you're programming your brand new 1GHz $5 processor with one of the simplest instruction sets around, and realize you're targeting a mobile phone.

INSTANT REVIEW: PowerPC assembly
It's fun when you're programming your brand new 3GHz $50 processor with one of the most popular RISC instruction sets around, and realize that Apple abandoned you and the latest PowerPC processors are more crippled than netburst.

INSTANT REVIEW: PIC assembly
It's fun when you're programming your brand new 40MHz $0.50 processor with one of the most basic instruction sets around, and realize that you're writing code for a remote control!

INSTANT REVIEW: C166 assembly
It's fun when you're programming your brand new 40MHz $50.00 processor with one of the most funky instruction sets around, and realize that if you make a mistake somebody is probably going to die.
(note: C166s are used in a lot of car management computers, airplane instruments, etc)

INSTANT REVIEW: VU assembly
It's fun when you're programming your six year old 297MHz processor with one of the coolest instruction sets around, and realize you've just spent twenty hours solid optimizing a loop for a game that's just been canceled.

INSTANT REVIEW: C
It's fun when you realize that you can do something easier and more efficiently in assembly, but your manager requires it to be "portable".
