Dilbert: "We could only program with 0s"
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:47:33 pm »
This comic is funny, because any program with nothing but 0s does absolutely nothing

Lol

What I mean is, you always have to have 1s with 0s.  If you feed the processor nothing but zeros, the processor is going to sit on its rear and twiddle its thumbs.

Hehe, maybe on z80. SuperH will throw an exception and run an error handler if you feed it nothing but 0's. The error handler will then beam you into the Tron world (using the Organic Virtualization module available as standard on SuperH's) and proceed to torture you mercilessly until you apologize for feeding the processor bad opcodes.

* Spyro543 starts smashing the 0 key
Wait - Original Tron world or Tron Legacy world? And if Tron Legacy, is it Pre-CLU or Post-CLU?

reminds me of something my dad used to tell us when we didnt wanna go to school

Quote
When I was your age, I had to WALK 5 miles, uphill, both ways to get to school!

The joke being that unless the earth has tides, you cant walk uphill both ways.

Yes you can, if there is a hill in between. You walk up the hill then down it no matter which way you go.

But there's a comma in between! That makes all the difference :D

And we're getting really off track, but that reminds me of this: Million-Dollar Comma May Aid Canadian Company
