Volmarias posted:Did they actually let monitor 2 be a minimap? I sort of remember it being just a second view, which is nice but having a minimap be a Megamap would really be my preferred thing. Farmer Crack-rear end posted:you could just zoom it out all the way, which would pretty much accomplish the same thing yeah you couldn't like, leave it zoomed out and click on it to warp your other monitor to that point, but you could leave it zoomed out to maintain your high-level awareness of what was going on also you could do things like watch a fight to react quickly when you needed to while you were macroing on your other screen

Presto posted:Yeah, one of my textbooks in college had an essay about Cray weirdness. Like there were numbers that were zero as far as the adder was concerned but not zero to the multiplier. This happens with IEEE floats on modern machines too. If A is much much larger than B, A + B == A, even though B isn't 0.

i'm pretty sure you can still do board swaps with the right equipment, you just need to dump the calibration data from the chips on the dead board and copy it to the replacement. if whatever killed the board also wiped out the calibration data then you might be in trouble.

my stepdads beer posted:oh yeah I remember that. why did that work metal parts get smaller when it's cold (like my balls), which gives extra clearance between the moving parts in the bearings. if they're seized up then that can be enough to let them spin again, until the heat produced by running them makes them unshrink.

the version of oregon trail i played had you doing a hunting minigame where you clicked on the bison and they fell over and shooting anything beyond the first one was literally pointless because you could only carry so much meat back to the caravan, but you still did it anyway because what else are you gonna do?

Trains need a lot of low-end torque, if you were relying on a friction clutch to get things moving from a standstill you would wear that out in very short order.

it's not a coincidence that all that stuff suddenly took off right after the segway patents expired the founded the company in literally 1999 and utterly failed to seriously monetize their stuff in their window of patent exclusivity

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:you could use ResEdit to create escape velocity mods, all the ships stats and stuff were stored in the data fork of some file or other. this was real cool because if you downloaded an escape velocity mod as a zip file and unzipped it on windows, it'd literally be an empty file you needed to use some special converter to actually extract the resource fork part of the zip file into whatever format the windows version used
