Have to agree, current programmers would have to take their heads off, turn them upside down, turn three times and tap their heals to go back to COBOL. But it is not just COBOL they would have to understand, the JCL is of equal importance. The COBOL is the brain, JCL the plumbing and wiring...

Mess with the memory, you mess with the code. Memory allocations were hard coded for efficiency. The amount of memory available at the time was just not conceivable compared to today. Everything would have to be reworked to take advantage of the horsepower available today.

COBOL is an archaic BASIC'ish language that is sensitive to spacing. Get one line of your code with one space to many and let the error codes fly. It won't compile properly. You have to assign memory manual, designate it and format it. All up front in the declaration portion of your code...

K so not literaly the last line of code in 96, just the last I coded. LOL.

OMG it has been years since I have used COBOL coding. I think the last line of code was in 96. For large batch processing it works well. Around the time I graduated from college, they were starting to get object oriented programming for it. I had the misfortune of trying to figure out what...

I was referring to Canadian dollars. Pretty sure you are referring to the US Partpicker.com. Now there are some 1060 6GB on the CA version ranging from $310 to $500, with 1070s absolute bottom of the line starting at $484 ranging to $819 and this card is saying it can beat a 1070 ti...

As wonderful as $349.99 sounds, it smells like cow pucky to me. Current 1070's are selling for the higher end of 600 to 800 dollars. If this has 1070 ti performance there is no way they will release them at that price point. 1060's are still on the upper end of 500$ in Canada. Of course...

Sorry, I wish it were only $10.00 difference. Currently, the American Dollar is $1.31 Canadian. So the price difference has it coming in around $365.03 Canadian. Most retailers are gouging at $379 it is very sad that we are on the verge of getting the newest release and GPUs are still priced...

Sorry, please do not try and put a 4GB stick in with an 8GB. Unfortunately you need to pair them up or you risk all kinds of memory and speed issues. The fact that your CPU is running at 100% is a concern. Without more details I would look into getting another Hyper X 8GB stick, same clock...

In our office, many of our spreadsheets have VBA and AUTOIT macros built in. The new Office 2013 does not seem to play nice with many of them. They have to be torn apart and updated. It is time consuming. Time is money. Also most end users do not have access to many of the tweaking tools...

This Battle Royal mode sounds a lot similar to Ark's Survival of the Fittest game play mode. Bunch of people dropped on an island that has a wall that has a virtual globe that shrinks down to the center of the island and its last person standing. So I don't think it is very 'new', different...

I want to know just where these 1050 and 1050ti's fall in the Hierarchy charts. Are the AMD cards even equivalent? Now don't get me wrong I currently use a 270X. However, the new ""Budget" minded graphics are what I am interested in. No matter where I look I see the 400 series from AMD in...

Does a Windows 10 No Features option exist?

I think I may have goofed... And I apologize for it, is the i-7 in this review making use of integrated graphics? If it is, I sorely apologize for not staying up to date myself.. I still would love to see a side by side, like an APU hierchy chart like the Discrete GPUs have. To be perfectly...

K so I am a little confused, why the i-7 6700 is even on a APU comparison.... A10 209$, i-7 515$...... Go figure right... If you want to compare APU's by all means compare them to the Intel chips that.... well... use on board graphics... For the price tag of the i-7 i could get the A10 and a...
