If Boch can't then you can still do an infinite regression using PearPC and VMWare.

Will Ferrell* emulating George W.

http://www.overclocked.org/OCspare.htm The one seen there would be a lot of layers. Dunno how and if that'd work though.

At work there is 4 layers of emulation, each with a few formatting qwerks to work around, with IBM Series 1 assembly code being the final product, on a Win XP box. This is necisary because noone uses Series 1 but us, and we have a contract with the devil I mean microsoft. It is actually used for stuff. Like, work stuff, not game stuff or fun stuff or let's see the computer's limits of extraction.

There is 4 layers? Qwerk? Necisary? You've been hired by someone? Can you tell me which company so I can send them my résumé? I'll be a shoo-in.

You have a comma error, fellow pedant.

I'm sure it entertains you to think so. (Hint: a comma before a coordinating conjunction is always correct but not always required, especially when the clauses joined by the conjunction are balanced or brief, and are intended to be read quickly and without pause.)

That's short and balanced, not short or balanced. While balanced, your clauses are of borderline length. This is a stupid way to hijack this thread. We will now return you to your regularly scheduled idiocy. ... I want to see a TI-Calc emulate a PowerPC...

Except ... I wasn't trying to hijack the thread. I really am looking for a job. Plus, I am right, and you are not.

It's used by US Militairy. And you don't want this job, the assembler is all spagetti. Which means undocumented and hard to read, for those of you who aren't english speaking geeks. Windows XP running MochaSoft to emulate IBM Mainframe, emulating several Virtual Machines (with two distinctly different behaving operating systems) at once, in which Assembler programs emulate SACCS, the Strategic Automated Command Control System. SACCS is in the movie War Games. It doesn't really play Chess though. I'd better stop before I say something classified. Oh, yeah, any opinions expressed by me are not necisarily those of the United States Militairy. You want that, go find a public relations person.
