Many years ago I had the opportunity to work at a company that tried to innovate a PC that could run off of 1.44 MB floppies. For you young punks, a floppy was a small disk of magnetic tape that ran in a sleeve and could store a whopping 1.44 MB.
We actually designed a PC that could store the entire boot and operating system on the 1.44 MB floppy, and then we added a working version of Microsoft WORD on the SAME FLOPPY.
Imagine how small the core startup/operating system must be to fit on the floppy, and how small the core Microsoft WORD operating system must be. I had one in my office, and had over 50 WORD documents stored on the same floppy and could never fill it up.
Had a separate boot/fsystem/EXCEL floppy and never filled it up with my 50+ EXCEL documents.
Microsoft came in several years later bragging about their wonderful upgraded software and how they had ( and I quote} "Over a million lines of code...". And, a like number of lines of code in each of WORD and EXCEL. We wondered how much of the code was "fluffy crap" (pay me by the lines/ hours of code), how much was totally useless features that no one wanted, and how much was simply vestiges of canceled crappy code/feature writing.
That taught me that our code was "tight", and because there are so few lines to exploit, I bet you couldn't hack it.
So here we are, thirty years later and I bet the bloated operating systems/ WORD/ EXCELL each contain a BILLION lines of "crap", er I mean easily exploitable "improvements".
So tell me again how "old" this site code is, and why we need a bazillion lines of newer crappy, bloated, easy to hack code???
Yer not a hacker are you??
