Since we are joking, assuming that the MOV instruction exists on many CPU's, could the input for this compiler be considered a needed "portable assembly language"? http://cr.yp.to/qhasm/20050129-portable.

In theory it should not make a difference but my scripts seem to run faster when I use exec after pipe. Normally I would only add exec to the last command in the script, as djb does. But then I started experimenting with using it after p

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Multiple arguments could be added if you want that. I personally do not need it as I search the cmdline patterns I need without using spaces. I use dots instead. Quick and dirty. I write 100's

Why do programmers try to convince others which programming language to use? Why should they care what languages others are using?

I do not understand your argument. To give an example, there is a lot of free open source software mirrored all over the internet, mostly on ftp servers, but also on http, rsync, etc. If you use Linux or BSD you probably are using some of t

So you are admitting you have not tested this and you are just going by what you read. When was the last time you used any "smaller Unices"? Anyway, even if the problems with -nographic on x86 have been fixed on other non-FreeBSD

Worse is that Google tries to stop scraping. It's like they don't want anyone to see past the first page of results. They could scrape your website and then they prevent you form scraping your own data back. The whole process is

Are you saying you yourself do this? You're using BSD, running in VGA textmode, from which you run qemu with -nographic to load an image of another OS? You yourself are doing this? Most of "major VPS providers" I know use L

I was referring to how long it takes to build from source and how much RAM and CPU it uses while building. The interface is fine. I love Qemu. Bellard writes great software. My early experiences with it were very good. But it has grown

What OS are you using? Is it working for you in VGA text mode (no x11)? Is this now working on other UNIX-like OS besides Linux? I have had problems with -nographic in the past and I know others who have as well, but maybe it works reliably

+1 for being able to run on Bochs. There's nothing minimalistic about Qemu. It's an enormous resource intensive program to build. And it's not even easy to run in text mode (no x11). "Qemu-lite" is sorely needed.

MS-DOS was written for only one processor. UNIX kernels could run on a variety of processors, including ARM; UNIX was a relative latecomer to x86. As for Windows kernels, both then and now, UNIX kernels are open source and do not deliberate

rm only removes OS "metadata" -- it removes the link to the reference. The file's data is not touched. Here's a stupid but effective way I came up with to delete the data in files when they are too large to be stored in
