Thought I would through this in.
When I said I've been geeking almost 50 years, this is a picture of one of the first computers I worked on in 1965.
--> HERE!
Those were the days.... yeah, right.

I occasionaly dig up the odd Haggis but they are damned hard to catch especially when the heather and thistles are in full bloom - nasty when yer wearin a kilt and yer danglers are close to the ground - even worse when the Haggii are older and sprout their wings!
>;o)
Haha old yin I bet you remember the RML 380Z.
Zilog and Mos Tech 6500 them were the days of REAL programmers.
I still have a collection of old computers in my flat and I still program machine code!
Sad very sad!
Just as an addendum I do like Iolo.com System Mechanic its a damn fine piece of software even though I am still running v3.5f 01/01/2000.

I look at being born without thumbs as the secret to my computer success. While the other kids could only count to ten on their fingers I could use Hexadecimal and count to 255 or FF in hex. LMAO

Contrary to popular misconception of the computer geek I am incredibly handsome , suave , witty and sophisticated with a tanned and muscular manly physique and incredibly large dangler!
>;o)
I do indeed have a very attractive Blonde Slovakian girlfriend (she has 3 laptops, tablet , smartphone and 2 desktops) and is also into computers so its a win win situation!
Sorry to disappoint!

Was that a spelling mistake?
I too like Sensi!
Indica preferred but I can do a sativa now and again!
Ruderalis very rarely!

Oh i see...Japanese my bad!
<;o)
The NSA probably have me down as a bad man now!
uuuulp

Of course all Americans understand the Haggis hunting season!
We have to have something to keep the tourists coming!
Canadians I hear are much more sensible!
>;o)
Ddp isnt going to protect me!
I thought we were all a big family on here!
My bad...I guess its every man for himself when it comes to the NSA.
Got everyone running scared with their prisms and prison threats!

I 'talked' to a machine code programmer of the same era last week on a different board. His computer had bee infected with hundreds of malware but he had at least 1 root kit so he couldn't find any with any scanner he used until he used a web based scanner. He wanted to find a schematic for his hardware and sourse code for his OS so he could figure out what happened. I think I got him to to give that up and read up on malware.
Being a city boy I keep from hunting such dangerous beasts as Haggis.
Oidhche mhath!

He must like russian downloads or porn!
One of the sure fire ways to get a malware on your network!
I use a honey pot - install the software first test it for a few weeks then it goes on my main machine which is backed up every night to 3 different sans.
I work in IT Security and to be honest he doesnt sound like a machine code programmer at all - have you any idea how long it would take to even analyze a complex 1k program dude never mind an OS lol roflmao
And why would you need a schematic of your hardware?
If he was for real he would need a list of interrupt vectors , hardware io ports and other such arcane machine codery - I remember the days of the Pakistani Brain virus and even taking something like that apart took some time! Matt Newman , Jeff Minter , Dave Brabham now they were master machine coders - big respect!
You into Gaelic?
póg mo thóin
lol

It really doesn't really take that long if you have a disassembler and speak good Assembly Language.
I have MS DOS, MS Basic and MS Disk Basic disassembled in my old files that I used back in my programming days so I could write programs that used some of their routines and cut down the size of my program when programming a computer in those days with only 32 kB of RAM. Yee Ha! :)
P.S. That was before the internet or Windows...

It was still just a gleam in someones eye in the early 70's

The grandfather of today's Internet was called the "ARPANET," named after the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency that developed it in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. The Internet was commercialized in 1995 when NSFNET was decommissioned, removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic.

It was called Prestel!
Or
BBS
I said complex 1k program old yin - ever tried to program floating point arithmetic hidden line removal algorithm on an 8-bit Bbc Micro Dragon 32 Or Cbm64 - having a disassembler helps but it doesnt translate the memory locations back to variable names which means you have to work out each memory location variable purpose.
Even with a disassembler you have to know what the io locations do and and that takes time - ever programmed a 6522 via or 6845 crtc to do 1 pixel parallax scrolling , revectoring a &220 timer interrupt to intercept the int 19 flyback pulse and synchronise the timer to just before flyback to ensure jitter free parallax - not easy dude not easy!
Thats what i meant by complex - or how about collage theorem as used on many graphic adventure games of yesteryear now its all high level with oodles of memory, prebuilt bolt on non optimised subprograms and thats why programmers are so bad nowadays.
The best programmers were compiler , os and assembler writers closely followed by machine code games programmers - David Brabham and Elite were the pinnacle of genius in mathematics and games programming!!!

You only need variable names when programming a movable code that works where ever it's placed in RAM. DOS like windows allocates its memory locations in the same place and doesn't move. That makes it easier to locate where a routine will be and make the calls to it. Just load a register with the data then call the location and it returns your answer or performs what ever routine it is suppose to. It's been too many years for me to go back to those days of programing Z80's and other 1.2 MHz CPU's that could only address 64 kB of RAM for me to remember much of it. LOL
I have been running the IT dept. for a hotel chain for the last 25 years fighting malware and fixing some idiot's screwed up computer..... fun fun fun I also build computers on the side and have better luck with my customers not screwing up things and bringing a build back than I do with the idiots I work with.......... :)
