That's a fun post! 36-core is immense! As an aside: It's been a while since we've seen any decent rise in processor Ghz. I remember IBM talking about functioning reasonably cool 10 Ghz processors (ref needed) in the early 2000s, but no one has them in the shops yet! I'm sure this was discussed in Moore's Law lectures prior to Y2K, but mention it these days and everyone scowls! So some people can (and they run cool) and some people can't, what normally happens in computing when the faster items are released?
Why instead? Why not add other languages to the distros as well as FORTRAN? What is wrong with leaving the f77 standard alone if you don't use it? That's what I want to know
If you download “Google Chrome” as opposed to “chromium” for linux, from Google, it has a completely up to date flash plugin built in. It installs with a right click in Debian, and is easy to add to any distro that you're making...
The acorn risk processor was designed for the British "BBC Microcomputer" to be attached via the "Tube" second processor system as a software development system for schools and colleges. This experimental machine was so successful and fast that it became became the new Acorn Archimedes computer which was used by the British Schools to teach kids how to write computer programmes.
No one, but NO ONE likes to work with someone else's code. It's bad news when you have to do this at work. It's much more effective to rewrite the job from scratch after planning the functionality, encapsulation etc. etc. again. So to most people this type of job (whether it's like a line by line dissemination of a machine code tome or whether it's like an insectoidal dissection) is an unusual and unpracticed chore.
Why this could bite Zuck and his “Face Book” wordo box ladder! It could be the fight of the century! Forget mobile wars, this is the big one! Think of the legal fees to be made! I can see it all now:0)
Yes, a typo, but not in the code, in the data:- “The problem was apparently caused by a "rogue flight plan", resolved by a re-boot of the computer system at Nats' Swanwick, Southampton, control centre.” See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23241791
Fascinating!
I think the unique ability to run existing x86 (or recompile manually optimized for x86 c programs) at native speed is one of the reasons many of us stick with Intel architectures, it gives them a very strong tactical advantage. It would also alienate many strong key advice givers in the machine purchasing decision making process if their home Intel game collection was suddenly nixed by a capricious ogre like hardware maker.
I'm laughing. It was not VAX “Job Control Language”! So Zeek and Zed must be the Gods of “Zee” OS. Smart A wing tip wizard is required in your analogy, in effect...
My understanding is that the financial sector does “cost based analysis” which is that the work goes to whoever buys the project's budgetary accountant the best meal – plus or minus capability.:0)
Writing COBOL is not just easy, it's fun! It takes about a fortnight to work through the manual and become fluent. It uses very English like syntax. It's much easier than FORTRAN or C as it's so small! Lets face it in this world of UNIX massively parallel cloud social web computing, this is hardly a complex problem to solve – it's already been done by the folks that wrote COBOL. A simple database! So get that manual out, and have a try!
This stuff's all gibberish, NONE of these kids understand either religion or science at all. False opposite stereotyping of reality based psychosis with a parental paranoid bent. I've never seen North Koreans type any item so dumb, but then again they're all witches. You can tell by their badge:0)
What happens if there is a higher than nominal inflation period in the interim time between the new longer budget cycle decision points? Could that be factored into the equation?

Hot Dog! They'll be rewriting those UNIX fortune cookie messages with sinister uncanny replacements in no time ...
The Intel Broadwell CPU has got a machine code pseudo random number generator in it's extended instruction set! Immense! Gimme Gimme Gimme ...
I wonder if the opensource Firefox equivalent iceweasel will be similarly augmented?

I think that Chrome seems fine ...
That's clever, they've saved the budget and jet fuel is a good clean burn when used with turbines. That's why they use it in jet's!

JCL, is that the one from Digital's VAXen? I've had some fun with that beast before ... Ah nostalgia ...

No, you guessed wrong! That's not what I meant. I know what I meant, I know that I'm right, but I won't enumerate why deliberately.
That's not the only machine that you've broken with that mistake ... think it through. What else depends on this version?
Q. Who was REALLY asked over analogue TV broadcasting and CEEFAX in the UK? A. Nobody

I don't believe this story, I think these kids are fake.
