*MY* development box consists of a floppy with the following: 1) io.sys 2) msdos.sys 3) 4dos.com (renamed command.com) 4) turboc 3.0 (with the IDE) 5) Nasm 6) symdeb
Ofcourse, I have a dedicated mp3 box, another with all sorts of "visual" development crap, and yet another one running all the Unix desktop rivals out there.
But I use my DOS box for meditation. Small is beautiful, small is good for you. I know the exact size of occupied diskspace, and I am proud to say that I can account for every byte of memory. How often do you do a memory grep to search for in-core strings? I do that on a daily basis, and it is very reassuring.
If you've ever been stuck on the freeway with a flat tire and no jack, you know what it's like to have a Linux system crash and not have a boot disk.
I know what it was like to have TWO flat tires on a country road, with nothing but a $1500 Presario lap top. It was "Redneck Rampage", those fuckers even took my boots.
If you have an IRC client, you can always go online and chat with people. Assuming you are not able to meet anyone in real life.
Slashdot is not the best place to make friends. The moderation system is too harsh on offtopic posts, and will silence you, without any disregard to the human element.
I really sugest you don't follow this posts very seriously. They are not personal in anyway, and no one knows any other.
As far as SNL is concerned, a great show:-) I usually watch the reruns during my lunch break. I also like Kids in the Hall:-)
Should really be proud to work with a legend. I have been coding in C for six years, without seeing the internet, then I saw the picture of Denis Ritchie, and I almost brusted in tears.. ahem, I actually did.
I have read about Ritchie, Kernighan, Thomson, Pike, and the rest of the bell guys (from books.) Then I got into BBSing, and read source code writen by Joy (and the rest of BSD), McKenzie (and few other GNUers.) , Kees J Bot and the Minix hackers at Vrije or just around MINIX, Bob Stout, Paul Hsieh, Terje Mathisen, Delorie, the DOS extender scene lead by TRAN and many many others who have release public domain Unix and DOS source code.
I have read almost every line of code, I could lay my hands on. To the point I was able to reuse a huge table of hex #defines, I ripped from a compression code in another project (I didn't know about perl, and generating constants for table driven code was a bitch. I knew about code that had the exact same values:-)
Then I met Knuth. It was a new birth. It had the same effect on me, as reading Abelson&Susman had, a bird's eye view of all that is there.
It took me 11 months to learn Chapter 1 (without the MIX specs!) but after that, it was a revelation, and I am never the same man ever since.
This guy is just a plain genius. I have ran into him a while back, when I was learning lisp, and found him on #lisp (openprojects irc network.)
We chatted for a while about everything I knew about computing (i never sat in a CS class, I am a business undergrad, but I am a linguistics and compiler construction fanatic.)
This guy was one of the few people I spoke to in person (well, IRC) who knew about what they were talking about. The conversation is still blurry to me, but I am remember it went from symbolic computing-> regular languages -> grammars -> regular expressions ->... -> code generation -> chicks.
WLI, if you are reading this, a BIG hi from a guy you spoke to, 1.5 years ago.
P.S. I couldn't master mercury, I was side tracked by O'Caml;-D
I think 2nd am't only covers legal guns. But if there is anything protecting my write to write such things, I would be overjoyed, and probably give me yet another reason to be a proud "new" American.
If this is really true, then I am a different man from this moment.
If this sounds too corny to you, you probably are used to freedom.
Thanks SOOOO much for telling me the exact name and submiting a link. I was about to shit in my pants, after I hit submit. Totally forgot about the current climate in the US.
Now that they have seen it elsewhere, EVEN Phrack (/.ers are geeks, ya know.) I can sleep well tonight and not worry.
No one will EVER blieve me, but I was ROBBED with a rubber band gun.
I am not sure if giving the details of a home made gun is legal or not, but those things were able to shoot a real bullet (a pistol, or an Israeli Thompson usually.)
This was back in africa, some of you might know what I am talking about, I will just give you some hints, and see if you can picture it.
Ingredients: 1) a cable of tire tube (American cars no longer have this, but back in africa, car tires were hollow, and they have a balloon like tube that goes between them and the rims. The tube is the black thing that some poeple swim with, if you ever been to a latin american or african beach.) You just cut an long stripe off of the tube, and this is a very hard rubber.
2) wooden skeleton (your favorite gun shape, we had ones that even had the curvy magazine of a Kalishnikov.)
3) a metal pipe. The longer, thinner, the more accurate.
4) an L shaped piece of steel, with a pointy end.
5) a long hard nail (this is curved on the wood, and used to hold the bullet.)
Steps: ------ If you arranged the above in some special way, put a bullet in the nail loop, and some how used the L shaped steel like an arrow and a bow, you would be able to shoot a real amu.
The bullet will fly straight, and the left over "butt" (what do you call it.) would be left in the nail loop (sometimes, if the nail is too weak, it would jump and hit you right between the eyes.)
Finally: -------- This is ALL finctional, and figment of my imagination. I bare no responsibilty for anything that results from following it. Grow up, and enjoy it as fiction.

Yes, only when going *down* the stairs. But it seems to
halt for long periods, when going UP. Garbage collection, rumor has it.
I met my wife to be on a porno site, now I just need to
get her name and number to finish the deal.
Big Fucking deal.

Male coder seeking C/C++/Perl job, contact me pls, thx.
are you a teenage boy?
I don't know who Mr. Ruso or Mr. Deniro, or any other italian
guy is -- I haven't seen the sun light for days.
But I know the correct spelling of LAPD is LDAP.
Who needs a floppy disk, when you can boot your machine off of PAPER?
:-)
Yes folks, my very own FSMOS is able to do just that.
To demonstrate the amount of hackishnes envolved, I used the following off
the shelf concepts -- so not to lock you guys into propierty stuff:
1) A finite set of input symbols (you can increase this all you want, but the clock
cycles are inversely proportional to it.)
2) A finite set of internal states (yes, you can have as many internal states as you want.
TIMTOWTDI, same problems as 1 though)
3) A finite set of out put symbols (it will "say" anything you want
4) a highly polished initial state, s0 (the first one is on the house.)
5) a next-state function (so you can tell it where you want it to go today.)
6) your very own mouth piece, an output function (yay)
You just have to do a little configuration, and make sure you have balanced edges and you
are good to go.

Ashcroft and Gereld, working for a bent over you }

Take care.
Please scratch the above. I just read the article, and he
said "[I] like emacs hacking".
I am a proud vi'er, and there is no way I am having a guy
with evilmacs for an idol.
Euclid used a rock and sticks implementation of vi, I think I will
go with him.

If your customers read slashdot, then you really are in trouble.
If you have a bug to report, or a suggestion to
make, can you take it to here?
