wouldn't rebol run on soekris hardware? that's a powerful little 
machine.

it would be swell if it ran on the EFIKA boards.  I wonder if we 
can purchase them in canada...

A peek at faster Power6, Cell chips

it says they were discussing mathematical modelling of the chaotic 
traffic while crossing the road .. and he was then struck by a motorbike. 
 Sounds like a super super geek!

Either he was distracted, or his model was wrong.

I watched a program recently about crossing the street there.  The 
trick being to begin to cross, and keep your speed exactly the same 
at all times.  Which they demonstrated.  Two women holding hands 
(one was a westerner) cross the very wide street with motorcycles 
and mopeds and tiny cars whizzing by.  Scared me to simply watch 
it.


I suspect he paused, which would be something most of us that are 
not used to that might do.


It is a deep shame, as an absent minded professor, one of my big 
fears is being hit by a car.  I used to walk home at about 3:00 a.m 
almost every night.  My office and home were 3k apart.  The streets 
were completely empty, and so I felt somewhat safe from cars.  One 
night in deep thought I crossed the street (totally ignoring the 
state of the light) and was almost hit by a racing car.  Often, when 
I would arrive at home I simply could not remember walking at all, 
I was so deep in thought.

Perhaps you need a personal radar/motion detector?

And of course, this is a worry with electric gas hybrid cars .. they 
make so little noise.

Can something like this be done in Rebol?

Should use Rebol for the web proxy.

Yes they should but they  probably won't :-(

why do the term semantic and markup used in the same sentence seem 
like an oxymoron to me?

You mean the sentence: "adding semantics to markup to take it from 
being machine readable to being machine understandable." ? To me 
all markup languages are machine redable, at least when I use Rebol:-)

and understandable because of Rebol of course

I've had a "croosing the street" experience once, too. 

I was in Paris and wanted to visit the Arc de Triomphe, all I could 
see was an 8 lane circular traffic around it, with no traffic lights 
whatsoever, and lots of cars speeding by, not paying attention to 
any of the markings on the street ....

On the other hand, I could see some people over there, where I wnated 
to be.

So after some cnotemplation, I decided, "Oh, well, this is France".

And I started started walking, and kept going, with all the cars 
beautifully flowing around me, just like magic.

It was a scary experience, and I wouldn't dare do this in Germany 
;-)

in Germany, people woundn't be ignoring the markings on the street 
 ;-)

Max.............true!

wrong!

It depends on the circumstances, what kind of vehicle is used or 
not used and where is it.
At least I can use a crosswalk without some fear.

wow!

commercial viability within 6-10 years!

it looked hokey at first, I thought, but Dr. Bussard has been giving 
lectures on how the technology works on Google campus.

After 7 year, Walter Bright (who did the Zork & Symantec C++ compilers) 
has release V1.0 of D. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.htmlVery 
cool system, and much more handy than C/C++ compiler. There is a 
GCD version as well.

well, I'm looking at the source... and well ... the syntax seems 
like yet another C clone...  :-(   no?

The syntax is very similiar (this makes learning very easy) but the 
concepts and the cleaness of the implementation is far from the C 
level stuff. It's really good. You have things like FOREACH... somehow 
I have a deja Vu, associative arrays etc.

huge security risk if your site hosts pdf files apparently.

G: thanks for the post.

Did anyone took a look at this stuff here? http://llvm.org/

Looks like a generic VM approach usable for all kind of languages.

I once talked to Carl about porting Rebol to some other VM. E.g. 
Tao, Java, Net ... and/or Parrot .... some guys here mentioned Parrot 
especially here in the past few times ....

Tao is really powerfull.  being a real time OS it can do things like 
guarantee bitrates and synchronise parrallel processes on two different 
machines!

you can literally move a process from one machine to another in real 
time, while both are running, and refreshing half of a window on 
each monitor for example!

Maxim - so suggest Carl to give us that functionality with WildMan 
:-)

you know what ... I just realized that I had a brain split  :~/  
  the above are functionalities of QNX  !

Tao is a Java based VM.

I'm not so sure about that. I think, you were right the first time, 
Maxim. Tao Elate is a realtime OS, so is QNX.

if REBOL would port to QNX, they could easily redistribute to almost 
any hardware.

Amiga DE uses Tao and its really just a Java interpreter, but the 
best one out there.

QNX can be made to run on printers ;-)

Maybe Tao Group moved away from Elate and now consentrate on the 
"intent" part of it!?

hum looking up Tao... to refresh my mind... its been sooo long.

Elate seem to be called intent-RTOS now.
