The Sinclair ZX Spectrum had similar limitations. Manic Miner's famous "stuttery" music came about in part because the processor couldn't run the music and the game at the same time, so it alternated CPU cycles between game and music.Quote:

Nowadays even a potato phone has multiple cores and tons of RAM and you don't have to bother writing good code because "the compiler will optimize it for you" :rolleyes:
Iconic now, of course...
"Temperatures tied a record high of 97 degrees Fahrenheit in Denver on Sunday afternoon, while a winter storm watch was in effect for the metro area. With forecasters predicting a low of 33 degrees on Monday night, this could be a record-setting temperature drop".

Keep doing those smashing (against the floor) workouts and it will happen soon enough. :)Quote:

Well, I just accidentally deleted 10 GB of files; apparently without a chance of recovery (does anyone have a recommendation for a proven undelete program? I have yet to find one)...
I'm pretty sure half the stuff was garbage anyway, but there probably were a good three dozen PDFs that I surely must have created/saved for a good reason and for the most part I have no clue what they contained. Not knowing is probably the most unsettling part of this whole affair.

As always, don't keep writing to the volume you want to recover data from, or you'll lessen your chances of success.
Thanks, I'll try them out.
Could kick myself -- thought I was highlighting a file, pressed shift-delete and for some reason the file wasn't highlighted but rather the folder the file was in. *poof* Gone. Idiot me then pressed ctrl-z, which resulted in the last file I had just moved out of that folder to be moved back -- and the folder name I just deleted to be recreated. At that point there was no way to recover the old folder, I guess.
Oh well.
