Re: TI-H: heh




What the fuck are you trying to say? Do you know what the words "complex"
and "reduced" mean? Do you know why it is a lot easier for mac people to
make cisc based software run on a RISC processor? The commands are reduced,
yes you've got it. If I want the CISC to do one thing, then I send one
command. If I want the RISC to do one thing then I send two commands.
Otherwise there would be a ton of Mac emulation shit out there, and so far
everything I've seen doesn't work too well. Pretty much everyone I know
favours CISC over RISC when it comes to a PC, including computer engineers
from some good schools. For some odd reason it seems like the Electrical
Engineer type (you) always want RISC to be their main computer. Are you
saying we should burn every CISC processor in existance and have RISC
dictatorship where Motorola leads the way?

You standing in line?
You believing the lies?
You bowing down to this flag?
You've Got a Bullet in Your Head.
