    I don't remember the exact numbers but I think you can figure that one bushel of corn will produce about 1 gal of almost 200 proof moonshine IF you use effecient method like 'fractionating column constant flow stills' and a good corn like Homcomb Profilic White. I always thought that sweet corn hybrids that have far more sugar would make a larger quantity however in moonshine thats not always the goal as it would be in ethanol for other uses.

    You do have to malt it though(let some sprout) , or at least they did for whiskey. Don't know about ethanol for autos but you still have to get the stuff working and I thought that malt did that.

    The old pot still is favored because it creates lots of flavor type contaminates that lend character (and maybe headaches). Myself I always preferred the straight white non aged stuff when I was a little un.

    Now drugs(meth,crack and pot) have doomed all the moonshiners of the past.

    I don't understand your reply.

    The architecture of the OS you are running your Assmebly Program on should have no bearing on the code of the program you are creating. It may be a standalone piece of work/code. It may run on windoze and then you have to have packaging and such for that but the machine language aspect is OS independent unless you wish to make it dependent.

    That was my point. Not that a Linux based Assembler can't do what it wishes.

    If one is therefore inhibited by the OS that the Assembler prog is running on then I would say that as a true learning tool is its impacted as to its value. It should shed then all semblence of adherence to a particuliar OS.

    I thought the discussion centered around LEARNING and not IMPLEMENTATION.

    It appears that many here are not versed at all in machine language and a lot of comment is misguided and keeps revolving back to the OS when its really dependent on the PROCESSOR and should be OS free.

    No No No. You don't understand.

    This is MACHINE language and is dictated by the processor language set. Not by something called Linux.

    Perhaps it would be more precise to infer that Linux MAY create a program that is an ASSEMBLER and not put in all the mnemonics for the real hardware instruction set.

    I was an IBM code junky as worked on the nucleus for many years. All in BAL(basic assembler language).

    If the ASM Program does not faithfully and fully implement all the mnemoics for he processor hardware language set then its flawed IMO. What would it do that?

    Now as to implementing macros and such I can see the differences yet one does not have to use macros.

    Why I often wondered was the PC assembler prograrm by MSFT or IBM called the Macro Assembler? But I did use it way back there and still have it squirreled away somewhere.

    Most know that real hackors(not hackers) who hack out cracks for various propietary products(Phrozen Crew et.al. ) are absolutel asm/machine language wizards and they have some very nice tools available to crack code. Also some nice tutorials, or at least used to.

    Lots of bs so I will try for a REAL answer to the quetion.

    I too am on dialup and slow(33.6 usually) so having had DirecTV here in the country I asked my friend down the road who sells it and he let me play with it in his store. I am a programmer and was/am an electronics tech also plus a ham operators.

    DirecWay will cost approx $200 for install. Its a 65lb dish and not at all like the DirecTV disk. Its advisable to NOT use DirecWay for both TV and Net usage. If one dies then both are dead. Better to keep the DirecTV and just add a new ant, additional coax and the new (DW6000)box. Its connected via a nic card and Cat 5 cable. No usb on the 6000. You then use a wireless or wired router to spin off to other desktops. Easy I believe. His was USB and slower.

    Now the IP is in the 10.xx.xx.xx Class A and IANA
    and you can't do a trace route on it for shit. So you have , IMO, some real protection against virii and so forth. Also against hackers but its not usable for games. The UPLOAD speed was bad(36 or so) but DOWNLOAD was very fast(746 or so). Short interactive responses were of course very slow but usuable for web surfing. When it gets a large download then it excells. So the ping times are of course not that good . I got 1250 ms.

    Checking it thru DSLREPORTS gave me those figures.

    There is also FAP(Fair Access Policy) which you can run into if you exceed certain bandwidth usages of a certain time. This is too keep the bandwidth more available for those who aren't Kazaa users or bandwidth hogs.

    Cost per month is about $59.99. Hardware was quoted to me at $399. Then $200 for install comes to $600. Some ask a total of $800 but thats shoppable. This was small town USA.

    I could install it but they said then you have a problem with them not standing behind YOUR work. He said if they did it they wanted to be sure it was ok. They know me and know I could do it but they like to make a living too. Your choice but it looks doable for a good techie type. Aiming may be harder. If you get into a unsolvable problem then they may charge the hell out of you for that.

    It has pros and cons. You can't do a website. Not sure if the IP is fixed but it really doesn't matter then due to the above.

    I thought to get it but having second thoughts now. I am sometimes instead using my Kyocera 7135 on Verizon 3G to connect. Its faster than dialup. Unlimited 'Express Network(now called HotSynce)' costs $50 / month and you need at least 2 bars on the antenna signal to work ok. More the better. If a tower is local its nice but it has a tendency to go 'dormant' and has a latency due to this also some bugs still being worked out.

    Best , hands down, is cable or DSL of course. I can get neither. I would like to have both dialup and DirecWay if I have no other choices. Rain comes along satellite goes byebye for awhile.
