There probably isn't prior art. For most of computing history, programming talent (ie: to add performance or features to a software program) has costed less than hardware. Now hardware has become cheap.
I know that you can't do gematria with English letters, but I also thought I'd be a language Nazi and inform the GP of Hebrew's lack of a real W. The double-vav is really a way of writing foreign loan-words.
To keep them away, just hang up and/or wear the symbols of a "wrong" religion. Buy a cap with the star-and-crescent on it; hang a m'zuzah next to your door. The Witnesses think you're lost to Hell and move on.
Yea, and because W stands for 6 in Hebrew, every time you goto a website your paying homage to the evilness by typing 666.websitename.com There is no 'W' in Hebrew. Did some kind of Rapture-touting Christian fool tell you that there is?
Trying to convert a 1st person shooter game like Doom into a pure TTL logic would make the game very responsive and give you screen resolution to kill for, but would it be worth the engineering effort to do that? Has anyone ever tried finding a technique for "compiling" software code down to TTL logic that can be written into an FPGA or other circuit board?
It would be a new Golden Age of cartridge-based video games: pop a circuit board in and watch your game run 100% in hardware!
Actually, the Ori map pretty much to the Catholics and nobody else.
Traits of the Ori:
1) Central authority structure based on "distance" from deities. 2) Single holy book that only the noted authority can interpret. 3) Waging wars of evangelism.
You find #3 in some strains of Islam and Protestantism, but #1 and #2 are just about exclusive to Catholicism. Jews, Protestants and Muslims have very localized authorities and holy books that any idiot (moreso in Protestantism) can interpret for himself. And of course, no Jew has ever been forcibly converted.
They're pretty much just hating on the Catholics here.
The "desktop" bit can be changed, but folders and files are built into most operating systems now at the kernel level. Programming applications is harder than need be because every two-bit Unix variant and hardware manufacturer feels a need to put out their own operating system features without actually signalling the mutual incompatibility to the world in any meaningful way.
If you think we can simply build from the applications downward without having to fundamentally change our bloated kernels, file systems, access control lists, in-kernel network stacks, and inconsistent system models, I'll need to see some reason to accept your judgment.
When was the last violent democratic revolution? There has been a few socialist and communist ones but I can't for the life of me name a democratic one. That's because, like you said, most democracies end up teaching nonviolence as one of their cardinal values.
The more efficient replacement is simply to keep an int or long int containing the length of the string (assuming fixed-size ANSI chars) and pass that around in a struct or something with the actual pointer to the start of str1. This is the way all languages with real string data-types actually handle the problem, and code that returns a beginning pointer and an int for jumping to the end without searching for it will simply run faster (all else equal, of course).
Do you have any idea how much stuff is stuffed into process control blocks nowadays? In addition to simply a thread of control and an address space, they've now got file handles, security tokens (UID and GID on *nix), disk or memory quotas, and IPC ports/mailboxes for message passing. And that's just the stuff I remembered! Threads actually provide a good solution when you only need concurrency, not separate file handles.
In the States we've got rather the reverse. Computing has become a Do It for the Love of the Game profession, while every Joe Capitalist with his eyes towards his wallet now loves medicine, biology research and biotechnology.
I can't remember the name, but some Jewish organization in New York tests young Jewish couples anonymously for recessive disease genes that would show up in their children.

This settles it: I need to learn some electrical engineering.

Take a look at Lazarus, they're supposedly working towards Delphi compatibility.
Now I admit FPC doesn't have full compatibility yet (even in -Mdelphi mode), but it's still a damn sight better than rewriting in C or C++.
Borland should burn in hell for ruining a perfectly good language and IDE.
It would be a new Golden Age of cartridge-based video games: pop a circuit board in and watch your game run 100% in hardware!
Apparently, you've never heard of the Free Pascal Compiler or the accompanying RAD IDE Lazarus.
Well fuck. Saturn really *is* Jewish!
Aside from the fact that *Saturn* is the Jewish planet. That "hexagon" is, of course, its kipah.
But you outed us, you anti-Semitic clod!
Please. Anyone worth his peyes knows the Magen David is best worn in the national colors, blue and white.

You forgot CoyboyNeal, you insensitive clod!
I'm working on a new one from the kernel up. You want to help?

Close. "What are you talking about?"
This is IIT we're talking about here. They've got the best game in town, and they don't have any competition.

At least we still lead the world in something! Take that, Indian outsourcing companies.
