  3. Re:PDP-11 C / Origin of gcc on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 2, Interesting

    C was invented a shorthand for assembler, in particular PDP-11 assembler.

    Yes, C is basically an abstracted PDP-11.

    Dave Conroy at Teklogix in Mississauga, Ontario, had written and made work the only C compiler not written by Bell Labs

    Is this the same Dave Conroy that does FPGA re-implimentations of old DEC computers?

    Does qemu have emulated networking support? That's one of bochs' coolest features since you can run a real multi-tasking OS with networking installed and telnet or ssh into the emulator. It also helps with moving files in and out of the emulator too via FTP or ssh.

  22. Re:Gah! on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 1

    like a cross between freenet and bittorrent

    I think that it would only need a few things from FreeNet since there wouldn't be a need to encrypt the data while transmitting it between nodes. You would still want to use a cryptographic checksum as an index key or some other means by which to verify that the data was not a fabrication.

    Already Freenet and GNUnet and entropy try to replicate the data around so that it best satisfies the number of requests for it, IIRC.

    Can most browsers listen to ports?

    Could some nodes host P2P to HTTP proxies for public consumption? Some sort of load balancer, even a simple round-robin DNS entry could be used to avoid the /. effect.

    The caption for the pic here says that the surveyor moon lander is in a circle but it's not. To see the surveyor get the TIFF high-res image and look at the bottom of that image for a small white "boomerang". The "boomerang" is two of the three legs of the lander, the third is obscured by a black shadow cast by the solar panels.

    I guess the current Mars satellites don't have enough resolution for them to photograph the expected landing site
    The old lunar orbiters did take pictures of the surveyor landers from orbit. I think the martian atmosphere would make this more difficult to do on Mars.
