"actmally rdrtable execmtable" that's more or less how it reads to someone who knows the Greek alphabet :-D (I might be partially wrong because I've studied Greek many years ago and my memory is not good)

It's somehow worse than "toys ya us".

Or Stack Overflow's "We are less than three people who code."

This is cool but this is from the source code... - License is GPL2 - If you want to be able to distribute binaries in binary only form, then please send $1,000 to Justine Tunney jtunney@gmail.com on PayPal, for a license lasting 1 year. If the goal of this project is to have something similar to cross platform web development this is the wrong way to go about it imo.

I imagine that Justin Tunney has bills to pay.

Long term we will be back to the shareware days and we will have the anti-GPL task force to thank for.

IMHO a better meaning would be "Πραγματικά φορητό εκτελέσιμο", but yours is also pretty close ;-) Having being involved with translation of software into Greek it's the small differences that bring the meaning as close to real usage as possible and not the transliteration that makes a great translation.

…εξακτεμάν! :D

Really confusing that they use mu when upsilon is available...

Not really confusing when you assume the intention is to look clever - the more different the letterform you find while it still being recognisable as the one you are replacing, the more exaggerated your effect is without further reducing readability.

(Yes, I know this isn't "just to try look clever", ala 1337-speak, and is trying to make a relevant reference to the cross audience understanding the is relevant to a cross platform executable, but the point still stands about choosing less similar but still similar enough glyphs)

People... Please stop using foreign alphabets like that! It's a nightmare for those of us who know the alphabets. It took me a good 20 seconds to read the title. And it's magnitudes worse when someone uses cyrillic for instance and it's native to me.

Foreign alphabet transliteration drama thread under the best hacking-grade article in years. Thanks, hn.

> the x86_64 patents should expire this year. Apple could have probably made their own x86 chip without paying royalties. The free/open architecture that we've always dreamed of, might turn out to be the one we're already using. I've never seen anyone mention this before. Is this really in the cards? Or are all the extensions patented as well, so that a hypothetical Apple (or whoever else takes it on) x86 wouldn't be…

Even if the patent on the instruction set expired, that's only half the battle (if that). When you licence ARM you're getting both the instruction set design AND the implementation.
