heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - barok - 02-13-2005 Quote:I cannot imagine someone's hobby project being even a shadow of the nigh perfection we've come to depend on in the offerings from PowerBASIC. With PB, everything works exactly like you expect it to... even in the subtle details. Want to increment the FOR/NEXT variable in the middle of the loop? Go ahead! They've designed for it. Quote:It may compile fine... Some people bash something they haven't even tried out. Some of these people are as bad as some C users. Take a look for laughs. http://www.powerbasic.com/support/forums/Forum12/HTML/001557.html heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - na_th_an - 02-13-2005 PowerBASIC stinks at a mile of distance. heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - Z!re - 02-13-2005 I like it how he takes the thing about old QB 4.5/7.1 source-code (It may compile fine) and somehow manages to completely change it's meaning. Not to mention, that, if you read on, you realize that he writes medical programs. But not only that, but he distributes the source, and then the hospital has to compile it themselves, each time they need the program. Why else would he make that comment? :lol: And not to diss or anything but: "Others program sophisticated accounting programs and financial forcasting software that flexes the compiler's feature set to the max" How would that be different from any other program? There's only a set number of commands, if every command works.. then uhm.. any properly coded program will work.. it's as simple as that. "we can't be worried about stuff like that." Nah, why bother writing flawless code when the compiler just hides the error and your faulty program runs anyways. *Wanders off aimlessly.. crashes into wall.. recompiles with PB, wall goes away* WOHO! heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - subxero - 02-13-2005 People are dumb. :-P v1c's a genius, and FreeBASIC will completely blow away PowerBASIC any day of the week. heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - na_th_an - 02-14-2005 Once it comes out from the Beta stages... I think that Powerbasic will lose all their MSDOS and CC market. It's like: "We have product A and product B which are designed for the same thing. Product A is worse and costs $100. Product B is like 10 times better and costs nothing. PLEASE BUY PRODUCT A!!" :lol: heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - BastetFurry - 02-14-2005 Quote:Once it comes out from the Beta stages... I think that Powerbasic will lose all their MSDOS and CC market. The problem is, most managers think exactly that way. If its cost is zero then its worthless, litteraly :-( heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - barok - 02-14-2005 they don't even seem to realize the fact that freebasic is only a few months old. Or at least, it SEEMS like they don't realize it... Quote:It's worth the price to buy PowerBASIC for the system manual alone, let alone the compiler, and the community of people who "go the distance" to help each other. Freebasic is free... it has some documentation... and i believe that our community outclasses their by a country mile from what i've seen. someone with powerbasic should run some benchmark tests, to see if Powerbasic is truly as "1337" as they claim. It could be a new topic: Freebasic vs Powerbasic! Watch as Freebasic blows away it's competitor! Next week: Freebasic vs Libertybasic! heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - red_Marvin - 02-14-2005 There seems to be quite some arrogance at that forum... Quote:Quote:I cannot imagine someone's hobby project being even a shadow of the nigh perfectionO Ye of Little Faith! True. heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - Nathan1993 - 02-14-2005 You can get a trial of PowerBasic... run some tests! heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up - adosorken - 02-14-2005 Or you can just get it for free on emule. Why pay actual money for an inferior compiler? :???: |
