Since you claim you can write device drivers how about writing 64bit drivers for my Canon scanner that doesn't work in windows 7 because Canon didn't make drivers for it? If you accept the challenge then I will send you the details of the scanner. If you complete the challenge successfully then I and am sure all others here will accept that you are not totally clueless and that you have some skills that are still relevant in the 21st century ;)

Sotos, if I manage to get your scanner to work in Windows 7-64bit what I demand of you in return is that I come to Limassol and together we drive to the shop where you’ll hand back your computer and tell them you’re too stupid to own one!

Is that a deal?

Sure it is. But you need to prove that you wrote the driver yourself using your assembly language "skills" ;)

Idiot, I don’t even need to use Assembly to convert a windows driver! :? I can modify your old driver and make it work in 64bit. :lol:

And I already showed to you that Windows drivers are now written with C and C++ ... so basically you lost the case already and you made a fool of yourself again ;)

Sotos, you just gotta know when to quit! :roll:

Linux

ARM

Windows NT

For Windows 7 & 8:

You can use the "Windows Driver Kit" which makes things very easy for you because they've done all the assembly for you but don't assume you cannot do them strictly in Assembly.

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop... la la la la la la... :lol:

Just give it up dude. :|

:lol: So you just realized that ARM CPUs are not any less "programmable"... which is what I was saying all along? :roll: And I was the one who told you that windows drivers are not written in assembly anymore... you should have made your search before writing bullshit ... now its too late because you made a fool of yourself already :( Now the final thing for you to learn is that an 80286 CPU is in no way more powerful than a modern ARM CPU e.g. 1GHz dual core found in several mobile devices. You can either accept that your whole argument in this thread was wrong or you can continue to make a fool of yourself... up to you :wink:

Give it up GR. Windows drivers are not written in assembly since NT and ME. Stop pretenting to be an expert when you are obviously not. It took me 5 minutes of searching to get the correct facts and you who pretends to be an expert of assembly and drivers didn't know even some basic facts. :roll: At best you are stuck in the 80s... 90s max, and you didn't realize that technology moved on. At worse you didn't know much back then either :| I don't mean to offend you but really... stop pretending to be an expert when what you say is total crap! :wink:

I've been VERY patient so far with you Sotos but you’ve wasted enough of my time with your buffoonery already, so if you decide to respond to this subject again be it known to you that the only subject I’ll be posting about is your mother’s rear end!

So make no mistake about it!

Since you guys seem to be so expert about this sort of things, you mind me asking at which software developer companies you work/worked at?

This buffoon doesn’t even know Computer Science fundamentals that students cover in the first semester of the first year at college! :lol:

Stuff like the bootup process and the uses of Assembly language (8086 programming included) are fucking basic knowledge! :roll:

I wouldn’t even employ the fool to clean the side panels of tower cases! :lol:

So now you are using an image as a reply and you are trying to offend me because you have nothing to say after you made a fool of yourself? :lol: Everything I said was true you stupid fool. You are the one who is talking crap saying that an ancient 80286 is faster than current generation ARM processors or that you need assembly to write windows drivers. You are just a salesman so stop pretending to be some computer science professor just because you can put a few PC parts together and install windows ... my 11 year old nephew can do that. Even your general tech knowledge is obsolete... here the discussion is about ipad and Android and you come in to talk about your 80286 and that you use that instead of a smartphone... it would be really good joke but the sad thing in your case is that you are serious :lol:
