Ask Chuck Moore About 25X, Forth And So On

Posted by timothy on Tuesday August 28, 2001 @05:15AM from the your-fix-of-postfix dept.

Chuck Moore is, among other things, a chip designer. His latest design, the 25x, is based on a 5x5 array of X18 microprocessor cores, and could provide 60,000 MIPS with a production cost of about one dollar. And Moore has the chops to back that up: he's been designing tiny, efficient processors for many years. He's also the inventor of the programming language Forth, which has evolved from a miniscule but radically fast language "difficult for a human to read" (according to The Secret Guide) to the even more radical colorForth. How radical? Try "includes own operating system; has own 27-key Dvorak keyboard layout; meaningful color syntax." How's that for starters? Ask below your questions for Chuck about processors and programming (ask all you'd like, but one per post, please) We'll pass the best ones on to him, answers soon to follow.

...that if you are not logged in you cannot hit the "Read More" button to try and post something? I tried to since I only log in when I post, but the site told me to get lost. A very disturbing trend indeed.

Dear site operators: your site is not kuro5hin. It's more of an ugly, retarded cousin. As such, why bother with this censorware that you call Slashcode? Trolls, crapflooders, and people with differeing ideas deserve to have their voice heard just as much as the linux sycophants. In fact, I'm going to forward the hypothosis that the only reason you see trolls and crapflooders is because of the oppresive moderation system you've installed. For a site that claims "information wants to be free" there's nothing like seeing unpopular ideas cast down to -1.

To all Slashdot readers able to read this before it too is struck down: I am announcing a holy war against the moderation system, the moderators, and all of those that try to insulated themselves from unpopular ideas by reading at 1+. Trolls and crapflooders, join me in my crusade to retake Slashdot for the poor and downtrodden. Let us take back the 'net from censorship!
