  1. This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

  2. It is when you're running a scam.

  3. Just think of how many terabytes of storage have been wasted storing that string.

  4.  @quickhakker  I'm sure it is in every PE exe file. I just looked at a little executable in Linux to see what kind of a header it has. It says ELF. The whole file is 17 KB. $ file c2f c2f: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=4e9f20e4582d401442bf0b34c80ec044c45390f5, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped So it has some symbols in it. Stripping it saves 2 KB. It's a program that takes a number and converts it from Celsius to Fahrenheit. I wrote it in C. It even has a use prompt. $ c2f Usage: c2f temperature $ c2f 20 20.00 degrees Celsius equals 66.00 degrees Fahrenheit I don't speak metric so I need a translator. The source file is only 960 bytes. So Linux adds a lot of junk too.

  5. 1 and 0 are how we represent the high and low logic levels. It's a direct relationship between what's displayed and the hardware state.

  6. And that my friends is why Windows sucks. 48 KB for 3 instructions.

  7. Windows is 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
