(...) I'll let you borrow my microwave oven. It can be programmed in a timer mode, with several steps in the program. But you have to have it back before dinnertime! Steve (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) OK, relative-addressing mode is good. But it doesn't require segmented memory. All it requires is an instruction format with a defined result. For example, the conditional-jump instructions on the 6502 microprocessor[1] only used relative (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) There are many different types of algorithms, I believe, but the main point is that the Message-ID header needs to be unique. The domain part of the Message-ID makes sure that anybody on a different domain gets a different ID. The local part (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I'm looking for a simple timer program. What I want is a simple timer that will time rounds (as in boxing) to use when I work out at home. It simply needs to ring the "bell" at the beginning and end of rounds: 3 minutes - bell, 1 minute - bell, (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Relative pointers in the same segment take up half as much space as a 32 bit pointer. Depending on what you're doing, the savings here can be considerable. .COM programs used nothing but relative pointers and fit in less than 1 64K segment. (...)
