    Tell us why it's cool. I don't know all that much about lbp, so I can't see how a calculator is that cool.

    Trust me, Nasa can already add and subtract.

    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Failure to convert English measures to metric values was the root cause of the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter, a spacecraft that smashed into the planet instead of reaching a safe orbit, a NASA investigation concluded Wednesday.

    I disagree.

    I disagree.

    I blame the ESA for that one. Them and their silly metric system.

    Yeah.

    I don't think I've ever seen someone build an actual working computer within a video game before. Color me impressed.

    Also, converting between english and metric measures takes more than addition and subtraction.

    Not for lack of effort. There's a group of fanatics trying to use levers, floodgates, pressure plates, pumps, and elaborate systems of water tunnels and mechanisms to try to turn a mountain into a computer in Dwarf Fortress. There have been no publicized successes yet, due to the added difficulties of working in 3 dimensions (which makes it harder to 'cross wires' if they need to be, and water always wants to work downhill) and the fact that the tunnels and rooms have to be carved manually, not just laid down in some god-editor mode.

    The calc isn't what is amazing, its what he had to do to create it. Watch past the part where he uses it, you'll see.

    Got to throw in the Dwarf Fort plug, heh. I'll be really impressed if they make a calculator fort without cheating.

    Actually, I stand corrected. Looks like somebody has completed a full adder in Dwarf Fortress.

    Well that's part of a calculator. Now he needs to make it subtract, and make it self-resetting.

    As someone who majored in computer engineering for awhile before switching to philosophy, I can safely say that he's finished the hardest part (I loved building adders out of logic gates in digital media lab, it was like a game in itself), and those features would be more time consuming than theoretically difficult, if you are able to understand the basic schematic.

    Ugh. As a computer science major, I can honestly say that I hated that low-level stuff ;(
