    Oops got those two functions backward though...well int argc, char *argv[] , and ax is 16 bit not 32. I remember my first 8 bit PC.

    Google has missed a step or two. But compilers are different. The one I use uses a parser, that I am sure you're familiar with. A pre-processor, Java doesn't use one. Compiler compiles source code into assembly language, then the assembler assembles assembly language into binary. JSON uses...

    What about Perl? I think there are compilers for it. But it's mainly run on interpreters.

    There's parsers, like with languages and files. I have never heard of compilers. I think it's a web development related Java stuff.

    If I was writing web sites java is really good from the functions I have looked at (APIs) and its been a while. But I am more into C and OSes. System calls.

    Very nice Lakeside. I always liked Piers Anthony's "Xanth" novels. The first I got was Centaur Isle and then Night Mare. Or maybe the other way around. It's been a while. I believe knowing a little of families histories, I think there was a "Conan" early on in the Merovingian lineage. Your...

    I never liked at&t assembly syntax. Intel I think is better. I looked at simpler 16 bit assembly using INT and IRQ. Basic was the first language I learned and had an 8 bit calculator like "PC". It was basically a basic interpreter with an expansion pack to 16k of memory.

    What would you use R for ? I don't think Ruby is that popular. The guy that wrote it wrote objective C then left it. SQL isn't that for databases? C/C++ would be for writing the databases. I like POSIX systems anyway. UNIX, linux, minix.

    Stress and Diet

    Alright I'll leave it at that. And no ad hominem.The thread is called "Stress and diet" in no way did I see a limitation to "fiber" in your premise, or thread title. I did read the article. I thought the thread was about "Stress" and how diet could be involved.
