It may be accurate. If you eat that much butter you may become a black hole.

The other commenters politely left out the most appropriate comment:
Why would you consider asking that question?*
Oh - wait - Belgium - I get it.

It turns out that there was a protest in my home town against trump. For real. It was Facebook lived. There was like 20 of them. Students. One of their main reasons was because trump wanted to get rid off obamacare. ?? ??? Because that affects us all right??
One of them threw a traffic cone. Narrowly missing trump by about 10,000 miles.
We're all f***ed....and it has nothing to do with trump.

We can't discuss politics here so I will post a link to a Dilbert comic instead.

It's not political. Students are dicks.

OK you win that one. I was a student once.

I appreciate the humour in that, although thinking deeper about it, am trying to figure out what the funniest part is.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Man! He must have been strong - it's only 5860 miles from Portsmouth to Washington...

You really need to put this stuff in the correct forum, so we can converse on it. It is political, no way around it, so stick it in the Soapbox. Thanks.

Expected better from you.
My post is about students being dicks.
There's enough trump posts in soapbox already, pick one and we'll discuss him there.

Well there is your first mistake; expecting things from me again.

If it's "facebook lived" why not post it there? -- A better choice than the wrong cp forum.
(Notwithstanding couple of weeks back you also did say you prefer facebook to the lounge).

Wow. Nobody posted anything new since yesterday. Today I got the conversion of programs from my old cassette tapes to binary working. I have converted one of the longer recordings and tested the binary file in the emulator to see what I have found.
No big surprise, back then I wrote games. Here is a screenshot. Could it be that I used to be a Star Wars fan?[^]
Edit: The Empire got me and reached the base.[^]

Awesome
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

FTTFY!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Nothing new happened since yesterday I guess.
Pretty cool (both the game and the fact that you could get it off the tape). The graphics are quite realistic, considering the resolution you had to work with.

... and still be read? My tapes for the old Elf II computer are 35+ years old and 20 years ago I have been told that they will not load anymore. Most still did, but I thought it would be great to find a way to load them with a PC and possibly reconstructing those that can't be loaded normally anymore.
Long ago I wrote a Win32 program in C++ that could load the tapes (sampled as WAV files) and then reconstruct the binary file. The real pain was to figure out the correct timing values for each particular recording.
Now I'm working on a new .Net version that supports the tape formats of similar computers, figures out the timing automatically and lets you manually edit 'bad' bits when nothing else helps. It's not finished yet, but it already as far as building a stream of bits and allows to edit them. Only the last step, taking the start bits, data bits and parity bits and converting them to bytes is still missing. Then I can save a simple binary file.
Here is the beginning of a good sample[^] The blue '1' to the left are the end of the leading beep' on the tape, followed by the first start and data bits in green.
Now look at this one.[^] The input signal is much weaker and I'm amazed how much he (self invented) algorithm still can read from it. There are two bits with invalid timing, both probably '1'. I could simply click on them to override their values, clean up all further errors (there are buttons to navigate to them at the top), and then this file can be rescued from east hyperspace.
Somewhere on these tapes are my first working machine code programs and I will not rest until I have recovered them all.
Edit: It's not a bug, it's a feature! In the old program I had to figure out the number of samples that make up a long or short pulse manually. That's why the WAV files had to be sampled with a specific sample frequency. The new program analyzes the samples and figures out the timing automatically. The sampling frequency has become unimportant. I just converted some oder WAVs which were sampled at a lower frequency without problems!

I've always found tape life to be a physical issue, with the magnetic medium flaking off the substrate.

Luckily, that has not happened yet. I also used to save each program at least three times. Even if each recording can be recovered only partially, chances are good that I can patch together a complete file with a hex editor.
