no, you cant "hack" the wm6 image to work with the x5XX!! stop startign threads about

He says he makes little apps here and there. even I can do that.

Proficient at twelve programming languages? You're smarter than I am, then. I've been writing code for over 30 years. I've been EXPOSED to perhaps a dozen in that time:

CYBER '74 FORTRAN IV
CYBER '74 PL/I
DEC PDP FORTRAN IV
IBM 360 FORTRAN IV G1
Z-80 Assembler
8086 Assembler
80386 Assembler
Waterloo PORT
Microsoft/IBM BASIC
Microsoft/IBM/Borland Macro Assembler
Borland C++
Borland Macro Assembler
Microsoft Visual C++
Sun Microsystems Java
Microsoft Visual BASIC (All flavors)
Microsoft Visual C#

Presently I'd say I'm proficient mainly in Visual BASIC, C# and C/C++. Maintaining "proficiency" in more than a handful of languages at one time is tough. Which one or two are you good at?

Your point that "hacking" that ROM image is correct - but you sure do place a BIG chip on your shoulder in trying to "prove" your point. Stop being so arrogant - at least until you can learn to spell - and even then you might wanna stop being arrogant anyway.

You're cheating! Different flavours of assembler mnemonics are similar and C# is basically Java for Microsoft enthusiasts.

I agree. It's hard to maintain proficient programming skills in multiple programming languages. Sometimes a couple of months is enough to be less leet.

Calling anyone an idiot is too simple minded. If someone doesn't know something; educate them or make money on them.

this is what i know.
c#
c
c++
java (parts, not very good at it)
javascript
html
xhtml
xml
sh
bat
.net (parts)
asp
and a few other (older) langs.

i learned most of these at a very young age (11)
i put them in (kinda) the order i learned them, asp beign the one that i am currently learning.

i alos know (not programming)
I/O concepts
CPU concepts
advanced networking concepts
i have about 1,500 hours experince in programming for embedded devices
i have about 1,500 hours experince in working in command line of embedded devices
i have produced more then 20 working f/ws (most for my media vault, pm me if you want one)
i know intermediate experince in building circuits from scratch using ICs, BASIC stamps and other microprocessors
i have advanced knowage programmign win win32
i have medium knowage in programming in linux/unix....

so all the ppcs that run wm6 have the same "proc"?

you said that the treo and the axim x5XX are exacly alike. i never said that all wm6 devices have the same proc.

alos, i make littl apps here and there for my ppc. for win32 i make more advanced things.

i also have created more then 20 differnt f/w for the np mediavault and other devices. pm me if you want proof.

[Hoggie3]

most of those aren't programming languages. their just scripts.

[aximbigfan]

most of those aren't programming languages. their just scripts.

i bolded the ones that arent scripts. (yes, js isnt a script, it is a misconception thay it is a script, it is a real programming lang.)

8/12 of them are real programming langs.

so, tell me. list the langs you know.

c#
c
c++
java (parts, not very good at it)
javascript
html
xhtml
xml
sh
bat
.net (parts)
asp
and a few other (older) langs.

Oh, for gods sake!

The X51 is most likely capable of running WM6, due to a policy of microsoft. They like to try and make it such that their latest WM operating system will run on at least the same hardware as the previous release, so a WM5 device *may* be able to use WM6, but a device designed for WM2003 may or may not, depending on how the hardware is configured. Read the Windows Mobile Team Blog for more info, if you want a link then GIYF, I can't be bothered to post it as this thread should have died already.

The main points I was trying to make was that it would take money, a lot of time or man-hours and a very detailed knowledge of the device in question. It is by no means impossible *if* you have enough of the right resources.

I'm by no means a softie (what us techies call software engineers) but if we're in a language bragging war then here's my list:

html (not *really* a programming language but meh...)
MC68000 assembler
Z80 assembler
MPLAB assembler (for programming PIC microcontroller devices)
Ladder logic (again not true programming, but good enough for these purposes)
Java (a bit)
Javascript
Visual Basic
Visual C#
English (which is more than some do here)
German
French
l33t

Yeah, being able to write a simple bat or sh script doesn't really count as programming, heck I could do that when I was five years old, I wrote a nifty frontend for a cruddy z80 compiler...

when i say sh and bat, i am talking almost like an application. for all intensive proposes, most o f the sh and bat scripts i have written, are apps due to complexity.

[DaLabrador]

Language bragging!
C, C++, C#, x86 assembler, MC68000 assembler, Java, jsp, php, html, perl, VB6, VBA, haskell, prolog, SQL, shellscripting (mostly bash, but MS-DOS batchscripts on occasion) extensively and probably some more that I've forgotten about.
I've used javascript quite alot, but only "copy, paste and adapt".
I wouldn't say that I'm anything other than a former Java programmer, though.
Perhaps C, C++ and VB6 if I bend the truth a bit (even though I've developed some pretty nifty apps in most of the other languages, some recently, I wouldn't say that I "know" them at the moment)

I would also say that someone who doesn't know any programming/scripting languages isn't an idiot but probably has got a life.

[Hoggie3]

so, tell me. list the langs you know.

I don't really know any very well except english. but...
C++(not a whole lot but enough to make simple apps)
bat & sh(its just dos and shell scripts right?)
html(some)
spanish?(not enough to say much)
I don't really know all the commands very well but if I need them I can look them up.

This thread is getting very wierd.

So what you're saying is that I can't upgrade my VCR to WM6?????
