we (mostly) all know and understand the old latinate legalese in re pro and con, but we all also know that the meanings of the word "con" has changed, in current use, and are no longer "polite".
therefore, dear author, pray tell - was that a deliberate con there?
as others have said, from the technical end (speaking from experience), there are plenty of ways to skin a cat like this, from emulation through porting, depending on the situation, and generally none of these are difficult to actually DO.
the only problem is you have to hire an actual programmer - someone who really can read and translate the code.
you cannot fix this with money, the solution does not come in a box, like executives do.
in short, if it was written by a coder, you need to hire a coder to fix it.
that simple.
good luck finding a real one, though.
and ps, this is not a bug, it is a feature - we value employment.
LISP is the correct answer - it's in almost every printer on the planet, to begin with - by far the most ubiquitous of all, and as obscure as reverse polish is.
can't see inside it, and i can't find an open source interpreter that works, so i'm deaf as well as blind.
i'm aware windows and macs are vectors also - there is never any security in obscurity, no matter how clever you think you are..
to date linux, without adobe flash, or any other proprietary driver, has served me perfectly well, without any form of virus 'protection', for decades.
i'm aware the community gets hit, sometimes, but it hasn't reached me yet.
perhaps my browsing is somehow more prescient than most?
or maybe i just got lucky.
i remain convinced that the sooner flash is replaced, or forced open, the better for all.

in the video, i see display ram, but i did not hear or notice anything about core/process storage.
always wanted to do something like this myself - bravo, bis, encore.
would second this if only to get more of the above to watch.
however i do not think may and his lot would have the chops for this.
it doesn't actually move - and may is not that slow.
your loss..
i've been wondering what they were actually for.
stupid wankers.
dear tfa - did you do that deliberately?

it all works for me - robots would not normally, i assume, procreate, so this should help to reduce the glut of humaninanity..
and i see this as being on the path toward the point where money/property/power etc become immaterial..
and we all must understand the real meaning of wealth itself.
an AI in charge of one of them squashed beetles could cause..
they're bad enough when driven by a human.
or, as i prefer to call you, metal beetle people - car drivers are an abortion of history, they're not "human" in the real sense of the word.
this one, on a t-shirt.
thank you.
where is open source when we need it, eh?
i'm bleeding inside, i NEED to hear you out, to KNOW what happened for you, from you.
i need to see your code.
all i get is these damned twitter messages, where is the REST?
i'm sure i understand a little of where you have been, have been there myself, i feel, many times.
like most of us, i live in debian, love it because i can read EVERY WORD of it's story.
i need to know yours now, please show us where to find it.
thank you, ian, from the bottom of my heart,
all the best, out there..

that is not a greek question mark, in the second example, it is another plain ascii colon.
; is a greek question mark.
if you're dumb enough to write code with an unicode editor, you deserve to be caught by these things.
fixed pitch font, seven bit ascii text, and NO microsod crlfs.
linux has had good drivers for PC type squeakers built in, for some time now.
all things are easy, given the algorithm.
far from "slightly different", these are polar opposites.
this is mitosis. ...and as the hurricane said to the palm tree - guard your nuts, this is no ordinary blowjob

well done, and thank you, to whoever did this - great work, more please.
and i'm not even a kid.
please help me rattle EASTLINK? i'm trying to get my own firehose submission upvoted - i think eastlink internet are hiding a serious security issue.

modded this nsightful by accident, need to post to cancel that - we need bikes and feet doing this, not unprintable cars.
am hoping for help blowing the old whistle, on the firehose on this article:
http://slashdot.org/submission...
please, if you have the time - i am quite serious - this is not a hoax.
however, the exploit would make one heck of a halloween trick or treat...
it's amazing what people think they can hide in code, on a chip, and in the wiring to that chip.
i am not saying they're all cheating on emissions..
i assume it's all wide open to "gaming"..
is it not?

all three of us.
i don't pretend to understand the system, but if this made it through, slashdot is clearly broken.
it does not seem possible that rubbish like TFA could make it through the review process.
am i therefore correct to assume that slashdot, being owned, now posts what it wants, when it wants?
irrespective of the algorithm that supposedly IS slashdot?
please tell me i'm wrong..
i usually am.
i meant forth, of course.
this has to work, please.
nothing else ever has.
imagine, solving a problem like america...
that really would be news.
did you not understand?
well versed in the force you are not.
