RAM? This was WAY before RAM was invented! Here are more details on the IBM 1620, this was in 1959. There was 20,000 core memory locations, each capable of holding a digit, so 300 of them, or 1.5%, would be used for the math tables. They wasted a lot more than that because there were 16 possible codes available for each memory location, but only 10 of them were used.
Here. The quote is the last paragraph, The IBM 1620 did arithmetic by looking up the result in memory table. Addition and multiplication tables were both stored in memory. One could change the tables to do arithmetic in any base less than 10 but then address arithmetic wouldn't work
The links proves my memory wrong, it didn't just do it for multiplication, it did it for addition too. Weird.
From a programming POV, the distinction between a Perl6 and Perl5 program will be the inclusion at the first line of code of a keyword in Perl6 that's not in Perl5; if the interpreter sees that keyword first, it will treat the source as Perl6, otherwise Perl5.
This will be for modules, not programs. A Perl 5 module begins with 'package Acme::Foo;'. A Perl 6 module will begin with 'module Acme::Foo'. This is explained in Exegesis 4.
Early computers sometimes did exactly this to do multiplication. If you wanted to multiply 4 by 5, you'd go to memory location 45, and grab the value there. This caused lots of fun if somehow the memory got corrupted.
I disagree. I think it can be easier to do a binary patch than changing a printf. Anyone can use a binary editor. Compiling a program seems to be more difficult, hence the popularlity of RPM and other packaging systems.
if someone infringes upon it, they can just ignore your complaints and take an 'so sue me' attitude.
They can do this for any license, including one where you only release binaries (I've seen at least one instance where the only difference between two programs is that one had the startup messages patched to display a different message).
My dad has been programming since 1966, and is an excellent programmer with a huge knowledge of concepts, algorithms and different programming languages, but he has never written any code for a hobby, nor contributed to open source. He sees programming as something he's paid to do, not a hobby. I really don't think either of these questions are likely to map well to good programmers.

This occasionally produces greenish, blue, and sometimes even pink diamonds.
Yellow is from Nitrogren, blue is from Boron. Green, red, pink and brown aren't caused by impurities - they're cause by irreguarlar crystal structure, which is why you're more likely to see them in modified diamonds.

This is because the default exit status for a shell script is 0. In fact, an empty file works as/bin/true, and it was the traditional one before the lawyers got involved.
yes. Fiber distance depends on the speed, if you have a slow signal it's easier to detect the 0&1's even if they've been spread by distance, but for typical speeds, you can expect to need a repeater about every 2km for multi-mode, and every 10km for single-mode.
The Z-8000 could address upto 23 bits, but it wasn't available in bulk at the time that the IBM PC was designed. This was the same problem for the 68000, available in samples, but not available in the bulk that IBM required.
If IBM hadn't chosen the 8088, which was 16 bits addressable with an 8 bit bus, then the most likely alternative would have been an 8080, which would have been much worse, as the 8080 could only address 8 bits. Choosing the 8086 would have made no difference, since it was also 16 bits addressable, just with a 16 bit bus instead. The 68000 was not yet in production, and there was no chips with more than 16 bits addressable.
Almost all wrong. Most of the ISBNs you've seen start with 0 or 1 because the first digit(s) identifies the language or country that the publisher of the book is in. 0 and 1 are English, 2 is French, 3 is German, 4 is Japan, 5 is USSR, 7 is China, and 8 and 9 are used for the rest of the world. If it's a really small country, then the first 5 digits could be country code, eg 99912 for Botswana. The second portion is the publisher, the third the book, and the last the checksum. With the expection of the checksum, these are all variable length, so for example 0-340-62839-1 indicates an english language book from a large publisher, while 1-56592-528-9 indicates another english language book from a smaller publisher. The checksum is 11-(sum(digit*(10-position))%11), so the the second ISBN is 1*10+5*9+6*8+5*7+9*6+2*5+5*4+2*3+8*2=244, 244%11 = 2, 11-2 = 9.
UPC-A isn't interleaved. Each digit is comprised of 4 units, 2 bars and 2 spaces. The total width is always 7, and bars/spaces can be 1,2,3 or 4 units long. Also the code is symetrical, so for example 1-1-1-4 and 4-1-1-1 both code for 6. Therefore you can get a UPC Font.

Don't you have to write it first?

I wonder if you compared year by year, you'd find it's a continuously increasing trend. It wouldn't suprise me.
In addition, there will be a perl5->perl6 translator, which will let you write in perl5, and easily switch if you want to.
Early computers sometimes did exactly this to do multiplication. If you wanted to multiply 4 by 5, you'd go to memory location 45, and grab the value there. This caused lots of fun if somehow the memory got corrupted.
But not all programming languages/enviroments have wrap around. Some throw an exception or otherwise stop the program.

A programmer doesn't need the skills to install a compiler. For many of them, it's something that someone else has always already done.

This fails if you have overflow.

Even traditional vi does this, with :set showmode.

I've a better idea. Get man out of space. We don't get any benefit from a manned program and we end up with a lot of unneccessary costs.
