"The provided source utilizes the 16-bit instructions present from the original Intel 8080 processor that are still maintained backward compatible today."
And probably a number that weren't.
"This solution is probably binary compatible with a Z80 processor."
Even at a glance I can see the movsx instructrion which won't be supported by the Z80. I'm sure there are others.
Why can't people like you just appreciate the technical accomplishment instead of nit picking.
Tell you what - why not go away and try and write any type of chess program then get back to us?
As someone who has written a chess program which even after some code optimisation still came out at ~3000 lines of C, I can tell you this is damn impressive.
... when you consider the ZX81 chess was written in Z80 assembler whereas this is in x86 asm and although both have variable sized instructions the x86 will on average be larger.
... they took the Win 7 desktop + the win 8 kernel and called it windows 10. Job done. The days when anyone cared about all these GUI toys like the charms bar/continuum/whatever on a PC is long gone - people have got all that crap on their smartphones now.
Newsflash - not many people over the age of 25 with some actual life experience - rather than just sitting in a dark room on twitter or 4chan - think snowdon is a hero.
"CO2 isn't the main Greenhouse gas, water vapor is. And it isn't even close."
Thats why I said "persistent". And water vapour sinply acts in a feedback loop for CO2. Its positive and negative effects - cloud reflectivity vs IR absorbtion - tend to cancel out.
"they come off as stupid ignorant parrots."
Perhaps look in the mirror. After you've learned to read properly.
Just what exactly do you expect will happen if you almost double the amount of the atmospheres main persistent infra red absorber? And if you think it will have no effect can you please explain why you think this.
I'm just curious because I'm sure your stand is based on sound scientific reasoning rather than a rather pathetic attempt at self justification for a "lets carry on business as usual I don't care" approach to the issue which unfortunately is a standard human response to a lot of big problems.
"The beginning of the universe does not need to conserve energy, but things as far as we can tell are conserved after that."
As fas as we can tell beig the important clause there. Besides which - the energy causing the expansion could be coming from outside our universe if one adhers to the multiverse theory , in which case all bets are off.
Or maybe they thought your comment on superfluous was ignorant rubbish. C++ is badly implemented design wise but most of whats there is there for a damn good reason and if you don't understand why then you'd better stick to languages like Python etc.
"both thrived in collaborative environments where it took multiple great minds working together to solve complex problems."
If the collaborative enviroments had anything to do with it then all those theories would have been released as a team effort.
"Your rant does not communicate arrogance, it communicates insecurity and an inferiority complex."
Does it? Oh. I guess I'd better go and have a cry then hadn't I.
" But it is ok, not everyone is cut out for teamwork,"
You're right - some of us don't need others to support various weaknesses which by your tone I'm guessing you do. But don't worry, you're just another sheep safe in the herd, bleat away and be happy.
Teams are great for doing parallel repetetive tasks such as testing thousands of compounds to pharmacological activity or building a bridge or whacking out 10K lines of boiler plate code. But if you want inspiration or genius or a completely take on a problem then you're looking at individuals (even if they've stood on shoulders of giants). Einstein didn't think up Relativity in a scrum with powerpoint presentations (ok they weren't around then but you get the point), nor did Turing come up his theories on conference calls.
This will sound arrogant but I don't care - teams are great for the slightly dim and/or lazy people in the world because it means they don't have to put so much effort in or think too much. Hence why management tend to be so fond of them.
There are people who believe in pixies at the bottom of the garden. It doesn't make them real. The word "pixie" is real but nothing else about the concept is.
Since there is no such things as gods or deities its not possible to speak to them or hence fortell the future from any inspiration received from them. Ergo prophets cannot exist.
Is this too complex for you or do you need it explained in simple words with crayon drawings?

Would this be the "hobby" OS that took over running the London Stock Exchange trading platform when Windows couldn't cope?
... there has to be a trojan on the system or at least something connected to the X server over the network.
Hmm. I think by this time your security is already out the window and a borked lock program is the least of your worries.

"Plus I have probably programmed more C++ code than both of you combined."
Oh thats highly unlikely my friend. I've been coding in C++ since the mid 90s.
Or maybe they thought your comment on superfluous was ignorant rubbish. C++ is badly implemented design wise but most of whats there is there for a damn good reason and if you don't understand why then you'd better stick to languages like Python etc.
Well you might not think you're skinny at 150 but most other people would.
The new Blackberry OS can run Android apps. Whats the problem?
"I'm 150 pounds and 5'10" "
I would suggest you actually need to *gain* some weight. Thats pretty skinny. (For a guy - if you're a woman ignore this).
Apart from Apple zealots people don't care what OS runs their smartphones so long as it looks nice - which is where Windows phone falls off a cliff.
It just has to be a lot less wrong than Windows 8.x. Enough so the corporates will eventually install it. Thats all that matters.
In what way? Internally maybe. From a user perspective on a PC? Absolutely not.

So not believing is a faith? Thats a bit like saying not playing football is a sport. Have another go.

"raising alarm about its future viability"
To whom?
Since there is no such things as gods or deities its not possible to speak to them or hence fortell the future from any inspiration received from them. Ergo prophets cannot exist.
