That is not true. They jettisoned the Eagle's ascent stage and returned with Columbia.

No, that's really not what I mean. I would like everyone to still use their retro computers and retro modems (!). Because no-one has land lines anymore, we would need some devices and software to emulate the land-line and telephone net

Right! And imagine the number of ELECTRONS whey would save from moving! That's also a big number.

What a horrible deduction to make from a couple of sentences.

Well, no, I have to say I don't understand what was accomplished there.

Yes I think that's it!

What I would really like to see is the emulation of telephone network over internet so that we could all continue using our old modems and retro computers and setup real BBSs with real (or simulated) modems. We all want to hear the real mod

RS-485 in itself really isn't. It has no concept of "channels" although it can be operated as multipoint. You may be mixing this with Modbus which is typically run on RS-485.

I find that very hard to believe.

It can be argued that Z3 was not as general purpose (Turing complete) as ENIAC. "The Z3 was demonstrated in 1998 to be, in principle, Turing-complete. However, because it lacked conditional branching, the Z3 only meets this definition

LoC is an old and classic software size metric. It's not perfect, but not completely useless either.

Yes why? Doesn't it?

You don't know that to be true. I have questioned similar claims myself and many of the people have been male. Mostly women though.

Love the transcription errors: "Phat 32", "little NDN".

I don't get it. Seems like the donations are (partly) used to allow the site maintainer to increase his personal Amiga collection. "All donations are exclusively used for the up-keep of the site or shipment of donated hardware.&qu

Your 1) is not related to reverse engineering at all. Just low-level programming. What EXACTLY needs to be reverse engineered to "make old school games" or "fully functional operating system"? It's an ARM and the GP

Why does one need to reverse engineer a Raspberry Pi? Isn't it fairly well documented?

Tried to spend 2 minutes getting the basics. The "crash course" is impenetrable.

You have to remember that lice outbreaks have nothing to do with hygiene or high standards of living per se. Merely close proximity of people.

What is the point of putting that zero in the version number when it quite clearly is not a decimal number and now it kind of looks like one and is confusing? Makes me want to avoid D.

Ok C++/CLI can be considered C++ interop but it's really compiling the C++ code again with some limitations.

C++ interop?

If I would notice such a requirement, I would invent the language from scratch, fake a whole website documenting that, develop a compiler (probably LLVM frontend) and apply.
