Anadromous fish are more vulnerable in rivers, since the lack of salt means you can quickly crack passwords using rainbow trout tables.

Anadromous fish travel up river to mate - salmon are a famous example. Some rainbow trout are anadromous.

Rainbow tables are a password cracking tool. Salting passwords is a defence against the technique.

Vic 20 had Basic.
IBM came out with a Basic interpreter as part of its software package along with DOS if you bought an IBM PC.
Apple came out with Basic.

A lot of home learners acquired Basic as the language of choice by default.

Alt+A, ABS
Alt+B, ?
Alt+C, COLOR
Alt+D,
Alt+E,
Alt+F, FOR
Alt+G, GOTO
Alt+H, HEX$
Alt+I, INPUT
Alt+J,
Alt+K, KEY
Alt+L, LOCATE
Alt+M,
Alt+N, NEXT
Alt+O, OPEN ?(question here)
Alt+P, PRINT
Alt+Q, is there one?
Alt+R, READ
Alt+S, SCREEN or SAVE?
Alt+T, THEN
Alt+U, USING
Alt+V, VAL
Alt+W, WHILE
Alt+X, is there one?

I recall someone asking for confirmation that one is true and zero is false in C, to which some genius replied "1".
Actually,
in C
A = 5 > 4, then A becomes 1

if (11 /* any non zero*/) printf("TRUE"); else printf("FALSE"); it will print TRUE


in BASIC
A = 5 > 4, then A becomes -1
if 11 then print "TRUE" else printf "FALSE" REM any non zero

In 1998, a COBOL programmer, frazzled with the Y2K crunch decides to have himself frozen until the year 2500. He goes in for the procedure and it's successful. As he begins to wake up, he sees all these people standing around him looking at their devices and dressed oddly, and he says "Wow, is it 2500?" The lead scientist says, "I'm sorry, no it's not 2500. It's actually 2098 but it says here on your file that you know COBOL ..."

I'm a dev and I can save a document in emacs and exit. That's the limit of my emacs ability. :smile:

EDIT: ... and the -nw switch makes sure I stay in the CLI. But that's it.
