That's a fake, or campaign engineering. I don't know the guy and don't give a dime about politics there, but the first tab shows a beginning of a "D", and the initial reports were about Layla's "BODY", when in fact the movie is about Layla's "BOOTY". The error was later fixed in the text (which is also said by the article) but the images stayed. Now explain to me how the images shows a "D" there, where there should be an "O", there is no movie with "D", except in the mind of that who created the first version of the article (on the web, not on gawker, the one gawger took it from).

That is how he attracts attention. People voting for him will still vote for him, the one against him are still against him. This is targeting the "undecided" pool, from which some will now vote for him.

The first paragraph on page eight (NOTES) is entertaining. (The whole PDF is!)

You try writing a chess playing program with only those resources available.

Some of us are old enough to remember doing real work on computers with those capabilities.

Actually, if you want to do something comparable, write a program on which that program can be run. Remember that you only have a couple of kilobytes of R/W storage and that you need to emulate a cassette player.

If it helps, go out and spend $20 or so on a PIC development kit to have real hardware rather than have to emulate it.

Thanks for sharing that!
We remember with nostalgia that we wrote a z80 emulator long ago... which could run Sinclair Spectrum games - also loaded from a tape player, but we skipped that part, by using the games already converted on a convenient format and stored on the floppy disk...
