Now days one get get a very effective spinning reel with heavy line and long rod to reach deep into the surf. But the best approach are powerful programmable drones capable of delivering up to 5 lbs of bait to be auto-dropped once it has reached a programmed range from controller. It then flies back to original take off spot.
Very cool, but not legal in some places.

So learned both of the practice and that they have now made it specifically illegal in some places (I looked up that last part.)

eek!
First time I read that I thought it said 'at my wife'.

Seems like the device was also used to throw cows.

And a piano. (If I recall correctly.)

These days it is easier to just jump in your car and drive it through the front door of your neighbors house that you don't like.
Of course just like the ol' days much smarter of you to convince another neighbor that you don't like to drive their car. So you take out two at once.

Yeah, it's the non forbidden version of the ballista.
You can fire boulders at your enemy, just not missiles made of entire trees. Some pope forbade it. Imagine, a huge crossbow on your ship, capable of firing a tree that been cut as a missile.
A trebuchet is a long shot, yes. Just less effective.

Windows XP and it’s predecessors did pretty good at recovering when an application went kaboom, however once every two or three application crashes the OS went down together with the app.
Multithreaded Windows is tougher, you probably can’t crash the OS even if you give it a try. Both 32 bit and 64 bit OS share the RAM with the app, the common dwelling means that the app can overwrite critical OS data, running on a separate thread shouldn’t make a difference. Does the 64 bit OS have some kind of memory backup in case things go wrong?
