Words.


Comparing the quote of a lawyer and noted liar to that of a developer, you know, someone who actually has half a clue as to what is going on really is a stretch, even for you.

You'd have to talk to HyperionMP about him backing up his claim on the roadmap.


Nono, you misunderstand. I'm asking you for a link back to where this was said.

You bitched quite a bit yesterday about how some folk on moobunny quote things out of context without any citation. Yet here you are apparently doing exactly the same.

I'm just expecting you to live up to the standard you demand from others.

As to the roadmap, mongo has supplied that.

Quote from: ffastback;568650

Be that as it may, Amigaheretic eats up Ben's claim of resources being one issue.  I have merely listed another issue mentioned by the same exact source.  What parts someone chooses to believe from a "guy... (not) known for his honesty" is up to each person.  Either way, Hyperion seems quite set in stone with this decision, no matter what the reals, real, imagined, or made-up


I take the view that a noted liar is always lying unless they back up what they say with evidence.

Btw, the prices for the e500mc, as pointed out by mongo are ~$350 each per tray of 100 - only 2 3rds of the cost of the PA6T and I would imagine far more interesting from the perspective of geeks and devs from outside the Amiga scene than the latter. And they have a follow on chip in the works according to wikipedia.

Considering they probably hardly make any money I find it hard to believe they don't believe in at least some of what they say.  Is that delusional?  Sure.  But after all whats the difference between porting to x86 for almost no money vs. to just another PPC board for almost no money?


Power over the users, stroking their own egos, not having to admit that they were wrong from the start to go with PPC?

 Technical issues aside, how would they compete with AROS?


I don't see Linux overtaking either OSX or Windows any time soon, do you?

Which mods?  Which posts?  Do you think we have conspiracy meetings in the mod forums?  I would suspect if something was removed it was removed for the content being inappropriate for the site.  If someone wanted to hide something they'd delete entire posts and/or threads no?


You say that like AW.net hasn't got a long and well documented history of doing just that.

No I say it asking for any recent examples of that because I am unaware of what he says occurring.  


Oh you're unaware... Right, got it.

Quote from: ffastback;568705

Or maybe he is talking about things that happened long ago?  No idea really.  


No this happens on a pretty much weekly basis. Check out moobunnys archives. You'll find no end of links to threads that go nowhere. It's not nearly as bad as it was, but that really isn't saying much.

I don't know what kind of access you have to the back end of AW.net so I can't really comment on what you may or may not find should you look.

The truth of the matter is however, that this is an ongoing issue that has been there since the inception.

Quote from: ffastback;568705

And if that conspiracy exists why are there plenty of posts up with Rogue being "not in friendly marketing customer service" mode?


And how many of those threads disappear after a few days?
