... I think {DoQ} "claim" and {lon} "abandon" would work well. -- Alan Anderson, professional programmer and amateur Klingonist proud member of the Klingon...
... I was thinking of buy and sell for semaphores instead of mutexes/locks because it is possible for them to be incremented/sold multiple times by multiple...
... I like it. Consider my vote for DoQ/lon instead of my original Suq/lon. I like the image of a Klingon 'claiming' a resource. <grin type="evil"/> G. Wade --...
I'm in the process of writing up a quasi-specification for the KDF De'wI'qel. I'm anticipating something loosely similar to Ethernet, with the addition of ...
I didn't announce this when I first found out about it in June, but check out page 214 of the new Star Trek novel In The Name Of Honor by Dayton Ward; I was ...
Hmmm... Now I officially feel like the guy who worked out the internal layout of the Millenium Falcon... /Brian Note: forwarded message attached. ===== -- ...
... Cool! Or, uh, something. But only #3? I would think we could've done much worse than that. We need to work on beating out the religious folks for that...

As maintainer and creator of var'aq, I'd like to welcome those of you who signed on because of the slashdot article. I haven't had much time to work on var'aq...
... Jason, but only telemarketers call me that. I'm teaching a comparative programming languages course this semsester. Dunno if we'll actually do any var'aq,...
... While I would love to claim credit for "substantial bug fixing", it's probably not true. All I did was hack in list support. (And poorly at that, since I...

BTW, I've got the stuff from the site now. I've been playing with it for a bit. I read the spec off the google cached version the other night, and now I have...
Hello, ... The C interpreter has something like that. var'aq source is "compiled" to a sort of bytecode, then executed by a virtual machine. I cheated, though:...
I've been playing with the interpreter in interactive mode and I've hit a bit of a snag. I was exploring variable referencing and such. I can execute 5 ~ a...
