Where are the freakin 600 pointers!!!

Unhappy_Mage, did Mohonri pay you to sneak into my system and rewrite F@H so it would only accept 50 pointers?

No, I keep getting the WUs that take way too much memory for my poor 512mb machine... the one I have right now is taking 150mb.

Somehow I think that if u_m was interested in getting only 600-pointers, he would have disassembled the client a long time ago...

I haven't taken assembly yet. That class does sound like fun, though... in the painful sense. :p At least it won't be as abstract as the stuff we're doing now - grammars, parsing, all that nonsense.

Painful sense is exactly right. Assembly is one small step above machine code (1's and 0's). So everything like
push
pop
and
or
xor
jxx (where xx can be mp, e, ne, le, ge, etc)
add
etc.

Of course, all that depends on what ISA you're using. In one of the lab assignments, we had to disassemble the code and figure out exactly what input it was expecting. Each time you put in the wrong input, it would deduct a quarter of a percent from your grade from the lab. My eyes hurt afterward. And that was a very-much-simplified ISA--nothing close to the full x86 instruction set.

Sorry, it's off topic. It looks like yet another 600-pointer got turned in recently. Im not sure whether it's from my benefactor or not...

Where do I sign up for one of those benefactors? :p
 
I just (15 minutes ago) picked up a 600 pointer on my desktop (1.8GHz Duron, 512MB RAM, XP Pro). I'm sure i'll be chewing on that for a while. My laptop (G4 1.5GHz, 1280MB RAM, X 10.4) is working it's way through a 241 pointer right now. FoldFoldFold. It makes me wonder what my Duron just dropped off though...

You were supposed to become a beneficiary for a few days to even things back up....don't know why it didn't happen.
