Whilst Britain has a shocking imperialist past, and the British Empire was terrible, at least some of those countries were invaded to free them from the nazis.

Oh no, now Starmer has shown himself to be every bit as bad as socialists said he would be, Supertanskiii expresses surprise and criticises him. It's not occurred to her that she's a really bad judge of politicians.

This coming from someone who consistently backed Starmer, prior to the general election. And Starmer is anything but working class - whatever he pretends.

Thankfully, Green Party internal politics aren't the toxic cesspit that Labour's internal politics are.

You're right. Back in the days when you only worried about the cost of the paper, not the ink.

You clearly don't understand the damage that climate change is going cause. You haven't a clue of the enormity of it. It's out of your experience and imagination.
And by the way, why are you hading the fact you're a Conservative MSP? That's how toxic you recognise your party as being?

Presumably Diddy made the mistake of telling his lawyer he was guilty, but wanted to plead not-guilty.

It's a massive mistake for the Greens to have co-leaders. Voters don't know who they are. There needs to be a single face and voice for the public to identify as the leader. Anything else is putting an unnecessary hurdle in the Green Party's way.
So even on that basis, Zack is the one to vote for.

Yeah, Level 9 was the Austin Brothers. It felt incredible at the time what they managed to fit into 32K. I loved the middle earth trilogy. Snowball though was a case of over-promising and underdelivering. They advertised something like 8000 rooms. But they were mostly instances of the same room.

You're not debating with someone who has a different idea. You're challenging a person of a minority that is being abused by your party to prove their abuse. How about you think about what you are saying, and then stop saying it? How about that?

Right wing Labour, behaving like right wing Labour. No empathy. Par for the course.

Corbyn should join the Greens. He certainly won't start a new party. He'd have done it by now if he was going to. He doesn't want to be a party leader a second time. He wasn't keen it it the first time.

They're also the only party with seats that are trans-friendly, pro-Palestine and have any socialist ideals. Seems like the perfect political vehicle to me.

Unlike Labour it's a truly democratic party. The more socialists on the train, the more socialist the party.

If Rust is the answer, they're not asking the right question.

Who the fuck are you, and why are you lying about one of the few Pro-Palestine politicians? Clearly you didn't even watch as far as 46 seconds into the video.

He's not a zionist at all. He calls out the fact that Israel is committing genocide. Something very few other politicians are prepared to do.

You should have tried harder with your Wikipedia research. That's the coat of arms of Ukraine, not "nazi insignia". Stop repeating Russian propaganda.

I found Friends to be very entertaining at the time. But comedy ages, and that's 30 year old comedy.

Looks to be a 10Kb screen mode. Potentially shrunk a little to 9 or 8Kb. So the game fits into about 22 or 23 Kb.

I always wondered when a back object was changed whether the entirety of objects in front were redrawn, potentially creating an avalanche of redraws. Or whether the objects were clipped, so just the pixels directly in front of the moved object needed updating.
I guess the former as it's simple.

Why did games companies do this? Why not give the source and graphics files when asking someone to do a port. Why make it harder for them. OK, he'd have had to write it from the ground up anyway because 6502/Z80. But being able to see how things were done would have made things easier!

I'll be voting Green. I can't see why a Labour candidate would know more about bins, roads, schools, leisure services and so on than a Green candidate. And I'd trust a Green candidate to make better decisions, such as not voting to outsource services.

Nah. I'm voting Green.

Either we went to the same school, or every school was identical in 1980/81.

And there was an excellent version of Space Invaders for the PET. PETSCII graphics.

Out college had a limited number of pages for the output of each job for exactly that reason.

I notice the professors on Computerphile still often use the wide green lined continuous stationary as note pads. I wonder if they do still use printers that take that. Or whether they just have years worth of stock of the paper left over from bygone days.

Yeah we had the same. But no disk drive or printer whilst I was there. And no computing lessons. We used them after school, and unsupervised by teachers after the first time when they showed us how to switch them on.
The tele-type was connected to the council mainframe, which had Adventure on it.

And going for PR also means not voting for either of the classic big two parties in any election till we get it.

Yes. Labour are bringing the idea back again. This time as "digital ID" that will be on your phone. Only this time it will be run by private companies. And they are not making the mistake of saying it'll be compulsory. But of course non-compulsory easily becomes you can't function without it.

What's this MOD and DIV malarky? Whats up with

You don't seem to be doing a good job of making non-communists look like the decent reasonable ones. How do you win by revealing yourself to be a douche?

I haven't noticed revolutionaries being particular fans of Les Mis. The architypal Les Mis fan seem to be an average middle class woman.

It didn't occur to me at the time, but really it's a 3D version of the Gravitar/Thrust/Oids genre. A very tricky game to play, but like them the objective is to manoeuvre against gravity with a downward facing vectored thrust that is on or off.

Feels like it needs a disco soundtrack. ;-)

I guess it was intended to be. Probably had the classic Horizon theme just before it?
comment in response to
post
I remember this Horizon from when it was first broadcast. One of my two favourite Horizons of all time. It was such an exciting time. Graphics like these were so revolutionary.
(My other favourite was the one about Buckminster Fullerine in the early 1990s.)

It's like browsing through charity shops. It's all tat. But you're hoping for the occasional bit of tat that you actually want.
