if this had anything to do with Science hardware or electronics it
would be
interesting. Suffice it to say that anyone who gives anything without
expecting something in return would be a great thing. However,
charity, is
the furthest thing from most peoples minds, that give huge amounts of
money
to anyone. Its all bout the business end of things.

That's not true. He has already given away perhaps 6% of his total

What about % of income above the level to comfortably sustain an
individual/family? Someone earning $50k a year giving 6% is digging
deeper than someone earning $500k giving 6%, at least potentially.

This from a guy named "Peter Hucker". I've heard of a corn shucker, but
this is a little ridiculous.

In fact, I don't know if I've ever exactly hucked my peter - is there
a definition somewhere? I've spanked my monkey, I've flogged my log,
I've jacked and jilled, I've washed quickly, I've done a lot of stuff
with my peter, but I can't say as I've ever hucked it.

As for me, just a point of view and that's about as simple as
it gets. If you feel you have to jump to the defense of these
poor helpless folks, then go for it. Shrug.

Defend as much as you wish, go to war for them, bow and pray to
them, so what. It still boils down to opinion and all the
arguing in the world isn't going to change that.

When it comes to folks like them, you would like to be able to
kiss ass, I'd like to be able to kick ass. See, just a
different point of view. Get over it.

So, further response on this one would seem unnecessary on my part.

Some people have naturally rich vocabularies. The fact that they use

I want to build a alarm clock that will start counting up when it is
triggered. (e.g., at 5AM, it will go off and start counting 1 second,
2 second.) I can't seem to be able to find clocks like these. (I know
there are timers that will start counting up, but not clocks)

A Radio Shack employee suggested that I buy two clock-timers and
connect them. The clock on one will trigger the stopwatch on the
other. How would I go about doing this?

I've looked online for alarm clock building plans, but I haven't been
too successful. I don't have much experience in this. Any help is
appreciated.

I need to be able make several of these count-up alarm clocks. The
cheaper, the better. The easier, the better.

Thanks.

You can do this with many clock chips by using the alarm output of one
to enable the second. You need to find the data sheet on whatever chip
you decide upon. There are probably many Mostek and National Semiconductor
clock chips around.

Ah well it's criticism based on many writings and rulings (I suppose) by
"experts". He's ended up in court in the US (antitrust, guilty) and in
Europe (antitrust, guilty) fined 32 million by South Korea's FTC (Fair
Trade Commission, guilty)

Courts and Judges are positively clueless about the software world and to
call them 'experts' is absurd.


Yeah, self made man, always by the book, never stiffed anyone.

Typical US mentality. Money first then trickle down to all the other
mundane stuff kicking and screaming all the way. Gimme a break.

By your standards it must be 'typical non US mentality' to be class
prejudiced and irrationally vindictive then.


Willey was lucky (and smart). He grabbed CP/M

Utter B.S. He didn't 'grab CPM'. He made an O.S. that did similar
functions, just like any O.S. would have to do and just as CPM copied the
functionality of Dec RT-11, in their case right down to calling pip pip.


much of version 1 of dos was purchased from someone else, not developed at
microsoft.

Yep. QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System), by Seattle Computer Products
(SCP), marketed as 86-DOS. It was a CP/M 'clone', except 16 bit of course,
and SCP developed it because Digital Research didn't seem interested enough
in an 8086 version of CPM, at least not soon enough for SCP's 8086 computer
kit. DR seemed to think that 8 bit processors were just fine and they were
satisfied with CP/M sales.

QDOS's 'innovation' was the FAT file system.

Microsoft's fist PC-DOS was essentially 86-DOS, heavily reworked to pass
IBM testing (supposedly over 300 bugs fixed), but PC-DOS 2.0 was almost a
complete rewrite.

So if one wants to argue about who stole what from who you'd have to point
the finger at SCP as Microsoft simply licensed, then purchased outright, an
existing product and I don't know how anyone can call that 'stealing'.

IBM's PC was designed fully expecting to use a not yet in existence 16 bit
version of CPM but, somehow (plenty of rumors), DR royally pissed them off
so IBM turned to MS and the rest is history.

while not binary compatible with 8080-based CP/M it did have a
similar functional structure.

Of course it did. That was the technology of the time.

and was probably atleast partially compatible
with CP/M-86 an 8086 version of CP/M that never really took off.

First version of MS-DOS (86-DOS) might have been call compatible (I don't
know) but they were independently developed, one by SCP and the other by
DR, and CP/M-86 came after QDOS. Ironically, software developers claimed it
was easier to port 8 bit CP/M software to PC-DOS than to CP/M-86.

CP/M-86 would run on an IBM PC, and IBM offered it as an option (first PCs
didn't come with anything, software was 'optional'), but DR wanted $495 a
copy while PC-DOS was going for $39.95. Which would you get?
