fishmech posted:might as well say that backup tape is the same as floppy disks that would be a far more correct comparison as they both at least are magnetic tape, one in a loop one on a radial circle but either way it's still closer than comparing optical film to magnetic storage

Necc0 posted:like- who cares if kids 20 years from now don't know what a floppy disk is. that 'shape' meant save and should have always meant save. it was ubiquitous across the entire industry. now everyone's come up with their own asinine constantly shifting icon for save and it's lame this reminds me of when my professor explained newspapers to the classroom. like, even if there weren't newspapers (there still are), people would have seen them in movies. no one needs to explain what horses are to a class of 20 year olds just cause we don't still have horse and buggy.

while i hate Scroogle, how the gently caress can you copyright an API, absent of any actual code but AMD can reverse engineer the x86? however, if you can't copyright an API, can you make a free WoW server?
