Roger, simple gates only, just as a reference.
Quote:As I said, at this point I can't understand how additional gates inside essentially a black box chip with defined inputs and outputs that match an exhaustive truth table, and do not store internal states (as is the case with these early chips), could offer additional control (what you refer to as utility rather than elegance) over the machine, but I'll take your word on it that it will all become clear in the next chapterAs a black box chip absolutely irrelevant, correct. The shape of your black box is a hack box, is all. I was geeking out about boxes of different shapes. There's a section dealing with that as well, little further on down. ALU's are my favorite part. Have fun.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
