Interesting idea. Pay prisoners to evaluate security systems and have the equipment suppliers pay. Of course, Prison-Corp will take their cut from yet another revenue stream.
Flight sim allowed you to run views on other machines. It gave you a panoramic, out the window(s) display and a separate instrument panel display . They decided to kill it in FS2K or earlier and screwed the hardcore.
In the early 80's, Intel was working on the IAPX432 object oriented processor. This was a secure, mainframe class architecture that was quite revolutionary.
Unfortunately, It was also slower then anything else available and was killed. due to industry disinterest, Mostly Intel's
Too bad Intel didn't later revisit that path when the technology allowed this kind of architecture to be implemented to it's full potential.
We would probably be programming in Lisp or Smalltalk now and the web would be a totally different place.
We will probably see ISA extensions that support those ideas in the future.
Are you thinking of Barry White? or Barry Smith?
White left the Metheus workstation group and went to work at Mt Xinu, Smith was at OMSI and later worked at Oregon Software.on OMSI Pascal
That's the only Barrys I know.
This was intended to be humorous.
It's called UEFI / tianocode and it's on sourceforge.
Even though I worked on this project, I wish we would go to open-firmware based on FORTH. The embedded drivers would then be machine agnostic.
About 1973, One of the Taunton kids (Neil) and I were in his parents restaurant, the Spouting Horn in Depoe Bay Or.
We sat down at the counter and ordered burgers and fries. Delivered, He opened the ketchup bottle and slapped down on the opening. The bottom of the bottle dropped out and everything within 6 feet was splattered.
Sounds like a good idea.
That's a rather nasty retort. I guess protecting your realm trumps good manners.
Yes, I just participated in fixing a bug in the 8250.c driver in Linux. What have you done? All of your posts are advertisements for Agentsheets(TM). I have looked at your slashdot history and have verified this fact.
Smalltalk, Squeak, Scratch, BYOB? all federally funded? That isn't what I pointed out, Pay attention! Those tools are free to schools.
The fact is, Agentsheets charges for their product, by the seat.
The problem is you and your fanboy obsession with a bad programming metaphor, not me.
Yes, I do worry about closed source. When publishing a projects in agentsheet, a bug results in deletion of the project if it isn't renamed. In open source, that bug would have been fixed during development.
Scratch and squeak are featured on the OLPC.
BYOB is used at Berkeley in their "The Beauty and Joy of Computing" non-CS undergrad course.
Everyone should care about what is being pushed on kids by the NSF, at a costs to taxpayers of $45 a seat, when better tools are available for free.
About agentsheet's "you have N minutes to finish the project" tool, Does that helps kids understand that only time counts and that quality and correctness are unimportant?
In the game business, I guess that's true.

I suspect AC throws away his TV when the remote batteries die.

Discarded mod points for two months, and now I want a funny for OP. Damn!
Hey! I have a pallet of old macs in my backyard. Is that art?
I find your viewpoint interesting, How can I subscribe to your newsletter?
Quite a post. Off your meds?
Don't be ripping on GTA, Bitch!
With a rear entry, woody is his friend.
Worm green or yellow with black stripes. Both are indicators that this is something most brains lock on to, and don't fuck with it.
Came here to say that, Over in one...
Isn't that what the man wants?

Please WILL me your worldly possessions instead of your bitchy sister and her snotty brats.
Thank you.

Maybe now, But in 6 months or a year, this thing will be on a PCIe card. Intel never forgets mass market.
and dreading it.
And we used RFC 1149, and we liked it.
Faster then dialup when the wind was favorable.

I take offense to your brown eyed slur.
I'm assuming you are of blue-eyed Germanic roots.
Almost a Godwin.
