Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't forget that he discovered the fastest known algorithm for computing an arbitrary digit of pi. If you ever are tempted to get egotistical, just think of this guy. If you are prone to low self esteem, avoid reading about him.

No more excuses, I'm going to finish those damn projects I have on the backburner... Seriously, who does Bellard work for? He seems to leave virtually no trace (other than awesome software) on the Internet. I googled the shit out of him tonite...

My favorite bit: # cat /proc/cpuinfo ... f00f bug: yes # Hah! 20 bogomips by the way, at least on Chrome on a MacBook Pro. I sense a whole new era of browser performance testing..

For the curious: http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/May98/F00FBug.html I'd be curious to know if this is was intentional, or a side-effect of the emulation.

After FFmpeg (used in all your TVs and gadgets, very likely), QEmu (used also by Xen and VBox and other), tcc and his IOCC entries, the DVB-T emission with an ATI card, Fabrice comes, once again with something crazy... He is really impressive...

I'm utterly dumbfounded. Not only does it boot, it's got emacs, and a compiler. Welcome to JS/Linux ~ # emacs test.c ~ # cat test.c void main(void) { printf("Hello World!\n"); } ~ # tcc test.c -o hello ~ # ./hello Hello World! [Edit: just realized that there is already a 'hello.c' in the directory that shows just this with better diction.]

adduser works (except you need to create a /home directory)
