Grex Enigma Item 185: The esoteric enigma of the truth about C
Entered by gerund on Mon May 9 05:31:53 UTC 1994:

        Read access times for a BLCK frequency of 25 MHz (40 ns) are then
equal to two clocks minus the time it takes for the address to appear on
the address bus minus the setup time requirement at the end of BCLK2.  Two
clock cycles require 80 ns.  Read access time is then 80 ns - 21 ns - 5
ns, or 54 ns for large buffers.  Small buffers allow slightly less access
time (45 ns)...
        "That's a shame," Frank said with a sympathetic frown when he
finished reading.  "But I'm not really suprised."

        His best known recordings included "And the Angels Sing", "Zaggin'
with Zig", and "Forgive my Heart".  Matters stood so while the House of
Representatives debated the 13th Amendment, and the argument that this act
was needed in order to bring the war to a close began to look very thin.
The right wing contended that this was bad programming style in modern C.
The Union was simply being used in a nonportable fashion.
        It was painfully obvious that the Greeks had developed ways of
fighting on land and sea that enabled them to plant cities from Spain to
the Black Sea and to defeat repeated attacks by the vast and powerful
Persian Empire.  This caused many to believe that it is mostly unjust to
deprive anyone of his personal liberty, his property, or any other thing
which belongs to him by law.  Unfortunately, it made no difference to me.
        Finally, someone came up with the absolutely brilliant idea that
compilers should be free to impose constraints on the maximum size of a
bit field and to specify certain addressing boundaries that bit fields
could not cross.  All of this served to liberate the content of late night
talk shows and ultimately led to a surrender of control structures ending
the war.  Programmers across the cosmos cheered when it was said:


        "We cannot all hope to combine the pleasing qualities of
         good looks, brains, and eloquence, but with a new and
         standard C many of us will".

Yeah.  C has done wonders for me in this regard.

Yes, Mr. Wilson, I agree.  This information should be translated into all
languages so that all may know.

No need to do so.  Response #2 is not language-specific.

So large, in fact, that if the sun were hollow,
a million earths could fit inside.

I think that C is really awesome.  I think that C should also be translated
into all languages, regardless of the fact that it probably allready is.  All
Hail Issek of the Jug!

C has been translated into most machine languages.
