Any REAL news from the OS4-tour ?

Outstanding! ROLFMAO! Can I borrow that pic for an avatar?

Waaaaay too late for that. That thread is dead, fred.

But I really want you to PROVE your claims, for once, so I'll wait for you to show me what you're talking about.

Crying wolf are we? Why can't you simply believe that Hyperion, who are professional programmers, simply did not look at the AROS source code, etc.

Hell, given that you think that he doesn't know much about AROS at all, don't you think that pretty much shows that he hasn't paid any attention to AROS, including the source code?

AROS doesn't run on PPC machines, but various parts of AROS when compiled for PPC and run in a different operating system will run fine. That doesn't mean that anybody is wrong in this stupid, retarded argument.

PS: I remember the old AROS web site used to say a lot about being source code compatible only with AmigaOS applications (once completed) - probably because they would have to be recompiled to run on x86.

Of course ... would be an honour for me :-D

Thank you :-) Best Miffy avatar yet!

Which goes straight back to what Hyperion have been saying on the previous page - whatever they say, someone will reply saying that they are lying, hell - two successive posts by two different people at Hyperion saying no code from AROS was used ... sheesh

Sorry, but given the past experience with Hyperion, I can honestly say that I am more inclined to believe what the logic says than what they say, specially when in that same post there's an outright lie and a blatant contraddiction. It just happens that they're not trustable people, given their track record.

Pretty much guessed it since page 2 of the thread or so. I guess the master knew what he was talking about ;-)

[DaveP]

Threads have to be useful? My god that leaves us with what... 3 threads since Amiga.org first went online?  :-o

I don't know why you felt that you had to bring my name into this at all. Perhaps if I had leapt to Bens defense here then it would be justifiable. I realised you used the speculative "if you are" but really, that is a big ole line you are starting to string out with some tasty bait on the end

Well, then I'm sorry, I obviously understood that you were questioning Krono's claims that he's been treaded badly by Hyperion, but if you were only talking about the Friendens, then I'm sorry.

You mr, should be awarded with the "humourist of the year" for 2003.

Rock on

This is what you are calling a lie:

"AROS is only meant to be compatible with 3.1 at source-code level."

Indeed, this is true as this is what used to be said on the AROS site before (I don't know about now) ... the statement does not preclude AROS also being compatible at the binary level for OS legal applications when AROS is running on the same architecture as the application (i.e., 68k, for which AROS has not been updated in yonks).

How about learning how to read, before jumping to my neck? I think it's pretty obvious that I was referring to his personal attack, and AROS was out of discussion in that phrase (btw, notice how Ben Hermans throws personal attacks in the discussion when he realizes he just can't continue on the right path).

Hell, given that you think that he doesn't know much about AROS at all, don't you think that pretty much shows that he hasn't paid any attention to AROS, including the source code?

When I say "YOU" I don't necessarily mean "HIM", I mean "YOU" as in "You guys who are working on AOS4". I can't believe that no one of them has ever looked at AROS, it just makes no sense. I for one know that Olaf Barthel has commented on the AROS filesystem interface (and said he likes it better over the AOS one), and Olaf works on AOS4.

AROS doesn't run on PPC machines, but various parts of AROS when compiled for PPC and run in a different operating system will run fine. That doesn't mean that anybody is wrong in this stupid, retarded argument.

What is that supposed to mean?

That's wrong as well: look here

Thank you  Best Miffy avatar yet!

Are you sure this is not more You ;-)

[DaveP]

LOL! Now if you could make the boing a bit smaller it would be spot on ;-)

[hnl_dk]

[DaveP]

......just a bit bigger





;-) Just kidding! Do you mind if I use it on other sites where Miffy is A REGISTERED AVATAR OF dAVEp?

Damn caps lock.

[hnl_dk]

of course You may :-) Would like to see it at AmigaWorld.net ;-)
