There are meaningful ways in which software interacts with the physical world. Latency is the first to come to mind. The realities of how systems are designed and how permanent the storage in question is translate to latency and thus frequ

This is what I miss about the Red Power mod for Minecraft. I wonder if GregTech would see the fun in adding some sort of CPU that wouldn't be the worst emulation stacked inside of hand written 'machine' op functions... Offha

The _entire_ point of a CSV file is that it's fully human readable and write-able. The characters you mention could be used in a custom delimiter variant of the format, but at that point it's back to a binary machine format.
