potential PPC Amiga REAL CHEAP

A better counter-point would be to show me something that can only be done in C and not VB.Net.

Firmware for 8051 @ pic micros. Include an 8bit micro of your choosing. Bios code. Boot loader code. interrupt service routines.

But thats just things that have to be small and run on the hardware. Suppose i was writing a product, and one of the requirements was that it run on both a macintosh and windows. Ohno! Guess i cant pick .Net for that one.

Again, right f'n tool for the job. Your vb.net prong doesnt fit in every project hole, get over it.

Actually its all really easy to confuse. In fact, when all this .Net stuff came into being, microsofts markiting department plastered .Net all over everything. For a good 2 years nobody even knew what i all really ment. Lots of people still dont know or care. After years of it being around, most people have discovered that it's really .VendorLockin and .NotPortable and in 10-15 years it will most likely become .abondoned for something .new

Actually, unlike VB 6.0, Vb.Net's code files (source code) makes reverse-engineering a compiler for an alternate platform ALOT easier.  Every property involved in creating forms and controls is exposed in the source code.  It would just be a matter of creating [insert platform of choice] libraries functionally equivalent to MS's .Net Runtime libraries and a compiler.

/me smacks forehead. Man why didnt i think of that. VB.Net is portable, as in, i'm free to reverse engineer .Net framework and reimpliment it on another platform. Duh, and it would be easy too, after all, it's just a bunch of function calls id have to re impliment. Its not like it would hard like writing code in c. It's all so clear and simple now.

Just switch out the functions from .Net code to local sys libs and blam compile.

with all the flack buzzing around this thread you'd think somebody dropped a mohammad cartoon in here.

Everytime this thread dies you have to bust out our signature double post, wtf.

I'm guessing your posts correspond your regular drinking binges. Just let of the controller, set down the crack pipe, enjoy a little time away from the computer.

Double post?

The last thread in this post is always yours, then it dies. Days latter you resurrect it, usually with some interesting news regarding nintendo, along with an opinion. Hence, the signature "lou_dias" signature double post.

You could at least keep up educated as to the status of your fiero, along with your geek hack. Myabe you could even get featured on http://www.tehshow.org/ where you could discuss the merits of revolution vs xbox 360. Yall could gesticulate  to rap music with 16 year olds infront of the camera, you would even be old enough to push back a 40 bottle of malt liquor, that alone would make their show. You of course would need a boing ball on that bottle of schlitz. Let the world know amiga is stil alive and kicking.

[koaftder]

With all the time effort and money you spent with that fiero, you could have learned c and got a job making enough money to buy a new car.

Those electric use different mechanisms...
So define what "fuel" cell you are referring to?

But who gives a hoot anyway?  I'll never convert to electric until they can produce a generator that can produces enough power to rival the power:weight ratios of gas powered cars.

a quote from the site

The converted Pontiac Bonneville has no less than 12 separate modified items that are new to electric cars.

The end results was to have a powerful car with room and all the comforts such as AC, power steering, heat, power windows, power seats etc.

The point was to show that electric cars need not be slow in speed but could have everything that a top of the line car could offer. The Pontiac Bonneville proved to be the best for comfort and have everything in extra equipment and options. The “production model” Tilley system is the main point for any electric car as it provides power to run the car and allows for all the extras.

ECM written in vb.net, batteries fueled by delusions. Locomotion achieved by transmitting vibrational energy from subwoofer box to trunk lid. Only moves in reverse at the rate of 1.4cm/minute. Has an inverting affect on ones sexuality. Price in negative dollars.

A box that produces more electricity than it consumes...I'll bet you poop more than you eat too.

Oh well, i was hoping you'd buy into it... After all the fiero sucks ass, i mean, it's like 2006 now, get with the times. the fiero is ugly and the engine is midway. My opinion is golden and all qutomobile owners should agree with me.

So, how much does a fanboy make as a consultant?

Phweeww, at least it's not catch on fire cheap ass made from chevette parts fireos.

I prefer cars over racing machines.  Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed every day.

Thats why on one of thoes links you posted, you tout how youve gotten an extra measly 10hp from messing around with your own exhaust crap? Please, this reads like your other arguments in this thread.

Dude, please post pix of your car and crap, so i can say nice job instead of yeah right. I used to turn wrenches for a living, and god help me i hope i never have to get into that business again, but i can see how it can be fun for guys as a hobby.

[koaftder]

As for your vb.net experience, if you could wire up a daq to a windows mobile device, you could write an ECM for the fiero, and it would boot quickly. You could have all kinds of tunable  peramiters for the engine tweakers, and it  would be fast enough on a 400MHz arm device ( ipaq ). Sure the geeks would make fun of you, but the car guys would probably love it.

http://www1.analog.com/en/prod/0,,762_0_ADUC7026%2C00.html

Write some wrapper code so you could interface that to a windows mobile device, and call from vb.net and you would end up with a sellable product. All an engine needs to run is fuel/ spark/timing/ compression. Fuel and compression is mechanical and analog. All you have to do is handle timing readings and sparc timings. Ignore emissions crap. Not too hard is it?

Sample crank and cam positions, measure fuel/air ratios, etc, spark at right times baesd on tunable parameters based on sensor readings...

You've already proven your ignorance when it comes to Fieros. The dyno I have on my site shows the difference between the EGR valve on and off. And you stand here calling me a liar. That's your opinion and that's fine.

I never called you a liar. All i asked was if you could put up some pix of your car, and why not, arent you proud of it? Ive worked on thousands of cars, even a few fieros. I never said i was an expert on fieros. In fact, i'm not an expert on any type of car. But from the experience of thousands of repair jobs, i can tell you that guys who put chrom tips on their exhaust pipes think they ride runs faster. Customers who have the fluids topped off and the brakes changed perceive better performance from the car, etc.

My opinion is that you are a troll and are way too concerned with my life.  Please get your own.

Wow, for the first time you actually state an oppinion. Congradulations.

Haha, i see you are getting upset now, maybe it's because you just realized that you neglect your woman to buy parts for your fiero.
