Old farts?

category: offtopic [glöplog]
Mensa is crap. It takes a stupid crap bullshit test to get in there. Adok must be a strange kind of guy :] Who is he anyway? I'd like o know a bit more about him. Seems to be making some impact.

Maybe we should found a "Demonsa" group with a coding test as an entrance criterion, comprising questions like:

What's the most efficient way to clear AX?
a) mov ax,0
b) xor ax,ax
c) shl ax,8

Ha ha ha ha...! That's almost as awesome as that new CPC demo.
are you sure shl ax,8 clears ax?...

It's not a trick or treat and it's not a april fool
It's all brand new, never ever old school

I keep all my farts in jars. When is a fart considered old? I don't dare to open up the jars and ask the farts...

Maybe you should rename the group to MenFail.

shl ax,16 would clear the register. shl ax,8 is one of two wrong answers to the question.

Dumb question:

b) xor ax,ax
c) shl ax,8


b) is the answer.... It avoids a partial register stall on the Pentium 1 if you want to later access AL or AH..

Oh wait my doorbell is ringing... Hey guys! 1995 just came to say hello -

Nils

BTW: sub ax, ax has always been an option back then. Sometimes it compressed better.

when shall we get first prods coded by people born after the year 2000

Heh. Classic. Just like z80. XOR A. But a different story than the pentium :)

torus, yes, 1995 - we are old farts after all...

d) leave it to the compiler.

34 and still hopelessly addicted to demo coding. Last year I celebrated an important milestone: my first demo was as old as I was when I made it...

I'm 31 (very suitable age to masturbate).

I started with Atari 800XL in 1986 and switched to C64 in 1987 but when it comes to PC era, I remember playing Comanche with my 386 SX-33. It wasn't smooth enough and when I upgraded to 486 DX2/66, it was like the having the most powerful computer in the world!!! :)
