A new representation of the rational numbers for fast easy arithmetic, by E. C. R. Hehner and R. N. S. Horspool. “It allows exact arithmetic, and approximate arithmetic under programmer control.

These attributes make the new number representation attractive for use in computer hardware.”
NSA@home is a fast FPGA-based SHA-1 and MD5 bruteforce cracker. It is capable of searching the full 8-character keyspace (from a 64-character set) in about a day in the current configuration for 800 hashes concurrently. WJW and wanthave.

And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.

A trellis.Component is an object that can have its attributes automatically maintained by rules, the way a spreadsheet is maintained by its formulas. I should check that out.
Emacs Fingers, cool illustration.
