Isn't that more-or-less exactly what I said with 20 times less words. You could even say the your fluffed out version is less than my short and sweet version because it provokes more thought and doesn't tie the reader into one particular thought path.
My comment said, you've all been fed a crock of shit. US has gone and outed a perfectly good government (the Taliban who may have a different view of life then you but does that make them evil?) because they supported a independent trail of the US's prime suspect (osama bin-laden) and a year on the US still hasn't shown any connection to osama bin-laden.
And the US thinks what of Hitler evil commie Nazi bastards? Jesus there's a bit of pot and kettle going on there.
Sadam should be calling for sansions against the US not the other way around.
down and it fell on someone killing them, the company is negligent in failing to provide correct safety equipment and therefore the manager/director of the company is also negligent in his duty to insure that the company obeys the law. The person who put the bucket on the roof wasn't at fault.
In this case I would like to see. The company... To provide safety equipment for workers and ensure that netting is put up and 'men at work' signs posted. Train all there workers. Review there management ( this could be court appointed but paid for by the company) Pay compensation to the family of the man killed. Pay some money into a general fund to compensate people injured in working accidents.
The managers..(depending on the level of negligence) To be listed on a list of bad managers.(or be prevented from holding that position of responsibility) To compensate the family of the killed man. To watch or attend the funeral of the killed man. Be required to give talks on the evils of negligence in the company.
you can kick dos straight into pmode and really play around with the processor(task-switching, calling 16bit dos/bios interupts) without having to worry about a kernel.
If you know 'what' the computer is doing your going to write faster less bloated code be able to track down bugs easier and have a more logical approach.
Why strings, well high level strings are usually the slowest most bloated things you could care to mention.
as a sudo example of bad string use
string mysting = 'larlarlarlar' while(mystring.length>0) begin
STore Accumulator, an insrtuction of old 8 bit processors! where you had 1 Accumulator(GP register) and no MUL/DIV functions evrything had to be done using shifts and JC,JNC.
Sticking with DOS and then using DPMI for protect mode-32bit programming would have been a good idea, DOS is nice and raw and so doesn't distract from what you are doing. Using Windows (or Linux) just distracts from the goal of the book, teaching assembler.
I susspect the books is only a best seller bercause it's on the required-reading list for some CS courses.
Unless you doing task switching MMX etc... then there's nothing that advanced in FP specificly.
Things like real-mode and protected mode programming would have been far nicer to see, Advanced topics should be Ring(0-4), Virtual Memory and paging, PCI address space mapping and APIC.
Well yes and no, yes people would notice general oddities but wouldn't pay much attention it's just peripheral oddness. The people would be aware of 'something'.
If you saw someone in a white pointy hat now and then they'd just be a bit odd.
If you saw 100 people in white pointy hats then you might ask yourself what there upto.
This is by far the most intersting question i've seen so far. The RIAA might be getting 'better' or they may always have been this bad, so you can't really complain too much about them ripping you off. On the other hand they may just be turning on the axis of evil about to take over the whole world.
You could try and produce a Z80 and work your way back from there. If you get a 6502 or perhaps an old 68000 series your breading program might run into some problems because the BIG ENDEAN of the 6502 won't fit in the LITTLE ENDEAN of the 68000, if a mutant can be produced then you might have something to sell to AOL.
If your trying to breed a mainframe then I'd avoid things like PS2 and instead look for the sequence differences between RS232 and RS452 and try and put bread that into you XT.
Dielectrics are quite good at homing in on the correct genus of system by reducing the noise that gets into the mutation process. Try removing all the dielectrics from the 'mother' board for some interesting results.
If your after storage then try MFM and ESDI the interfaces look quite similar so I'm sure a mutant will be possible and after a few thousand generations a magnetic bubble might appear.

You must buy the cheep stuff that expects you to not loose any screws.I usually get a few extra screws in the kit.
The easiest way is to write a windows codec, Xine, mplayer &co can use windows codec.
...
So windows is the standard API for linux

I agree wardriving is 'social' not political. You need to make people awire that there is something inb the air that they can just grab and use.
'You mean I just plug this in the back of my laptop and I can read my email from the park! kwel. When's the next wardrive?'

Why think of you feet when you can think in your head.

as a sudo example of bad string use
string mysting = 'larlarlarlar'
while(mystring.length>0)
begin
string astringthatwontchange = mystring.leftchars(4)
mysting =mysting.rightchars(mysting.length-4)
dosomethingbasedon(astringthatwontchange)
end
if you don't know whats going on you won't realise that you can use a head-tail index instead and avoid copying and alloacating all that memory &co.

Well now you've given up assembler you will NOT be able to STA with me. We'd have had a ROR that makes you ROL around AND devide by 2 OR more.
I whould disagree, your trolling.

I think the idea was to promote a world-wide response, maybe not this time but the next time.

Well the RIAA would probably be breaking AOL's T's & C's(not that AOL/TimeWarner wouldn't help!) so we could target them individually.
Why not block all IP's in RIAA/MPAA IP ranges and any ranges that are putting crap onto the network.
There's got to be prior art in a million and one science fiction books
A quick search throught the page for the name osama returned no results with the last name bin-laden.
You might end up with an XBox!
You want to use a mca bus point to point so it breeds quite nicely, you might even end up with a portable pcmcia version and it's IBM
Just looked at you web site, you really do breed computers! he he.

looks like someone finally worked out how my mum works!
Here's how to breed a supercomputer ( it worked for corn).
Inbreed your pc's until they produce an XT weakling,
then cross breed the XT's and you should get a giant high yield supercomputer out.
