  4. Re:ENIAC On A Chip on Bringing Back the PDP8 · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but how do you replace the microscopic vacuum tubes (valves, for you Brits) when they blow out? That was one of the things about ENIAC, IIRC... the tubes kept blowing!

  5. Re:Instruction sets are a matter of taste on Bringing Back the PDP8 · · Score: 1

    Zilog Z8000/Z80000 anyone? I never particularly liked the 68K's distinction between A and D registers.

    Wasn't the meter originally defined as the 1/10^8 the distance from the North Pole to the Equator along the meridian passing through Paris?

    An alternate theory, perhaps. Some drunken teenagers kicked the seismographs?

    Except that an event had to be recorded by at least 7 different sources.

    Whether or not their conclusions are right, what you're suggesting won't work.

  15. Re:Is he *trying* to get arrested again? on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 2

    Hey, maybe there is a bright side to the Homeland Security Act?

    If he does this, maybe we can get him arrested as an Evil Terrorist Hacker(tm), and have him put in jail for life?
