Poutou is Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste, new anticapitalist party Artaud is Lutte Ouvričre, laborer's struggle.  As you can see they are both hilariously left and spent most of the debate decrying the sins of big capital and bosses and accusing the others of being political shills. Lasalle is a weird peasant who just rambled on about old people in retirement homes during the debate

What constants can you use to calculate Vista though. I guess you could make it a complex number but that won't help for putting it on a graph.

I guess the code checks that the OS is not 95 or 98 before attempting to run.Somfin posted:It was to avoid too much poo poo breaking.

Tiggum posted:Could've gone with "Windows IX" or "Windows Nine". Not without breaking sorting re: the new versions. Welcome to coding, where everything is a compromise with idiots from ten-to-thirty years ago. As for how it happened, well, there's a few things that 95 and 98 did very, very poorly. A lot of people don't want to deal with that headache so they made their programs not run on those versions. And because coders are efficient, why make two checks when you can do it in one?

Regalingualius posted:How the gently caress did that come to be? One thing to note is that's not Microsoft's doing really, it's the thousands of cowboy programmers out there that put in these checks into third party apps. They just had to make the choice to break these programs with Windows 9, and mean that companies using these programs would not upgrade to Window 9 or just skip straight to 10, which is version 6.4 anyway.

Avoiding touching the weird version checks was just a bonus of going to 10, the official line is "you have to fix your own homegrown if the version checking goes weird you idiots" and I think there was the normal internal branding discussion where a stoned marketing team writes a powerpoint on why this happens to be the correct name because reasons.

lifg posted:At least it has a word for its generation. Apple dropped version identifiers for iPad after 2. The MacBook has been the MacBook for eleven years now, and that’s never been a problem. Probably because it rarely matters which specific model someone is talking about. They all run the same software till they’re too old to receive updates at all. There is no expectation that a gaming system will run software from previous models, or that its own software will run on future models. What I’m saying is that the iPad is more like a general purpose computer than it is like a game console. e: This isn’t the obsolete technology thread?

Calling the third installment of something "one" is incredibly dumb regardless of what they didn't call it. Nebrilos posted:I heard that marketing wanted to name the original X-Box the "Microsoft Direct-x Box", but engineering pushed back hard enough to get them to accept "X-Box". I thought that was just the dev codename - considering Direct-X is like, microsoft's graphics tech, no way marketing was trying to push naming the thing of some obscure tech only PC gamers would recognize. Then again, it's Micosoft's marketing...
