  5. Re:Progress of World Wars? on DARPA Funding a $50 Drone-Droppable Spy Computer · · Score: 1

    The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

    Quote from an episode of The Simpsons.

    So does the spy listening to the audio signal coming in from the cockroach.

    If it's a Z80 that's any similar to the one in the first GameBoy, there's nearly 1024 opcodes in that CPU. There's register bit set/bit clear/bit test for all bits of nearly all registers.

  14. Re:misslabeled linke on Notes On Reducing Firefox's Memory Consumption · · Score: 1

    The funniest part is that Safari for Windows probably has to load extra Apple-related libraries to run. Otherwise I wonder how they can offer Apple anti-aliasing on a Windows system.

    I'd be interested to see that same test performed on a Mac OS X system. What do you mean "there's no Internet Explorer on Mac!"? Who cares!

    That's alright, though. Hollywood and the rest are decreasing the quality of most of their works so fast that by 2051 nobody will even bother pirating their stuff anymore.
