VirtualBox

No, it’s not a porn site and (as far as I know) is safe for work. This is a VMware alternative that is open source and appears to be free. Has a high memory overhead and as such I am not even gonna download it to try… yet. Gonna have to get a bit more memory first. But then will certainly get and try it. Sounds quite interesting. They are working on a Mac OS X version. Say they have it working in Alpha now. Also say Vista (BOO-HISS) runs fine. Supports most versions (?) of linux and they claim even OS2. 😉 Come to think of it, I believe I have a copy of that around here somewhere. Never run it but would be a hoot to see if it would run on my current box. Will see if I can find it…

Linux Genuine Advantageâ„¢
For all linux users who want to spend money and do less with their machines (just like ALL Micro$loth users get to do). 😉
P.S. PLEASE NOTE that this a joke site and I DO NOT recomend downloading the software available there. This public service announcement is for those who might actually decide that this is a good thing to do. Like all the idiots that buy Vista so they have less freedom and can do less with their own machines… 😛
Programming in Malbolge

Programming in Malbolge
Introduction to Malbolge
Malbolge, for those not familiar with it, is a language designed to be difficult (or perhaps impossible – until recently, there was not even an informal argument showing Turing completeness) to program in. For example, the effect of any instruction depends on where it is located in memory (mod 94, of course), all instructions are self-modifying (according to a permutation table) and both the code and data pointers are incremented after every instruction, making it hard to re-use any code or data. There is no way to initialize memory except to one of the 8 instruction characters, there is no LOAD or STORE operator, and the only available memory operators (both of them) work in trinary and are designed to be opaque. The only control flow construct is an unconditional computed jump, which is also nearly worthless since there is no way (or certainly no obvious way) to set memory to anything except the 8 instruction characters.
Okay, if they say so, but I sure as hell ain’t gonna try it…

Interesting, but very not safe for work, artwork. Some fantasy, some macabre, some old masters, all interesting.
