Plurals in Dutch can end with "en" or with "s", but in a case like this I'd say you just make do with what you've got, as long as it's clear to the reader. Heck, it's an assembler with only a few lines of output text, why throw a big i18n library at that? Of course this issue co...

Not to mention the foot right on the top left. ;)

I take it you're saying that other languages will not have a "noun(s)" form? (I notice Timendus has used "argument(en)"). Exactly, because it doesn’t make sense. And numbers might need to be declined too in some cases, but that’s another, even more horrible story. ;) test for 4 ...

Re: Brass Translation

Nice idea. :) I’ve also switched to internationalisation-friendly programming lately. Still, I can’t help but notice something disturbing: ... ErrorArgumentCountMismatch=Expected {0} argument(s). ErrorArgumentCountMismatchEndlessRange=Expected {0} or more arguments. ErrorArgumentCountMismatchRange=E...

Meant to ask "Is that XFCE" I guess ;) I think it’s pretty obvious that it’s a Gnome desktop. :? Well... the image is huge, but the resolution seems quite small. Maybe you just stretched the image, but that didn't seem logical to me :) No, that’s the real resolution. It’s a 21" CRT, ...

No, it’s my trusty Debian Sid. :) And what about my DPI setting?

PTI is always correct :mrgreen: But that’s only possible because the runtime value of PC is available to the emulator, while an offline disassembler won’t be able to analyse the code at such depth. I added that feature to make disassembly more robust (e.g. legitimate instructions can be masqueraded...

Nice idea. :) This could also be done for a one-byte else block using jr. And theoretically for a 3-byte block too (as long as the side effects are acceptable), but that could in no way be faster than branching directly.

Reinventing the wheel is wrong if you want to put it on your car. On the other hand, there’s nothing wrong with playing around with new wheel designs as long as they don’t leave your garage before thorough testing. ;) Studying existing wheels is a very useful way of spending your time, and part of t...

Hmm, a doorknob is definitely a UI and it is visible as well, does that make it a GUI? :P

I guess it depends on the compiler. I wouldn’t be very surprised if a modern compiler used similar shortcuts instead of turning to full-fledged fp arithmetic when the circumstances allow. However, I’m not exactly sure whether this particular solution is sensitive to endianness. In any case, I would ...

The fact that characters combined can have totally different sounds than seperately (which is also true for several combinations of letters in English, but we have a bit more) and the fact that those combined sounds are pretty much unique to our language. The same can be said about most languages, ...

It may not be the hardest language on earth, but I doubt it's really coincidence that it's the only west-european language they left out.. Only? :o What happened to Portuguese? Or Italian? Not to mention all the languages that have no associated blobs on the map, like Catalan, Basque, all the Celti...
