The Spectrum is back, sort of. It comes with Manic Miner and The Hobbit. I spent hours playing these. The UK pre-order is here[^].

Nah, the ZX81[^] was the first computer I laid my hands on

I have a ZX81 in my closet. One of my firsts as well.

I'm confused. This is being made by the guys behind The C64 (and mini) yet there is no mention on their site.
I'd buy a mini if it came with the 48 games the full-sized version does. But not if just 2.

But does it come with a 'Dead Flesh' keyboard?

Does it come with a Wico joystick?

A long, long time ago on CP we started talking about adding *nix type content on the site. However, the term Unix is trademarked by The Open Group. So, back in the day peeps adopted the nomenclature of Unix-like or *nix when referring to anything well Unix like. 
Now, AFAIK The Open Group never sued anyone over just saying Unix, but ya know... better to be safe than sorry.
Fast forward to today. Turns out saying Unix-like is passé, old, and crusty. There's a new term to replace it:
Unixoid
That's right folks. All the cool kids are saying it. You know you wanna be cool too.

Sounds like it refers to beardy old men rather than an OS.

I am also passé, old, and crusty, I would sound silly saying that. I'll leave it to the kiddos.

Greetings Kind Regards
May I please request preferred format of display of bits id est as a continuous string or as separate bytes exempli gratia "0101010101010101" or "01010101 01010101".
Thank You Kindly

I prefer nibbles, this because more easy to convert them in brain who's into hex.
0101 0101 0101 0101
|
|
|
|
|
Even better:
0101 0101 0101 0101
It uses narrow space (U+2009 or HTML &thinspace;) between nibbles and normal space between bytes. For added emphasis you can use emspace (U+2003 or  ) between bytes:
0101 0101 0101 0101

As Ox01AA said, bytes or nibbles work. And ideally it would be nice if endianness was indicated somehow.

Would converting those nibbles to hex be more convenient? I mean more human-readable.

I am writing a "super_format_integer" routine which generates every conceivable format string id est hex dec oct bin SI IEC words and provides every conceivable option for each base.

Wow!
Will be valuable if it comes up here on CP as an article.
