Let's Increment i, Assembly Style.....

aravind vijayan — 2012-05-09T07:04:42

How do computers actually work? We write code, but how do our inputs become
outputs? As you know, there are a number of layers between the code that we
write and the electrical impulses that race through our hardware. If we
stick to the software end of things though, we're actually pretty close to
the lowest levels. What I'm talking about, of course, is assembly. Assembly
can quickly get complicated, but there's no reason we can't look at some
basics.

I am glad someone spoke up for us, even though he did give the impression
that we are supporters of open source.

Who was it, and how can I contact him?

I need to correct one factual point.

    Of these
    projects I only know of Gnash and Coreboot which has actually been
    supported by FSF.

Gnash and Coreboot have not been supported by the FSF.  We don't have
funds to support any of these projects.  Gnash development got some
funds elsewhere for a while (I don't know where).
