I am trying to calculate factorial of 30 using x86_64 assembly on Linux. Here's my code:

```
.global _start

.text
_start:
mov %RCX, 1 # counter
mov %RAX, 1 # factorial result
loop:
mul %RCX
inc %RCX
cmp %RCX, n
jle loop

.data
n: .byte 30

```

I am converting it using these two commands:

```
as file.s
ldd file.s -o a
```

However when running the executable `a`, segmention fault is raised. checking with gdb it seems that it is raised right at the first instruction after `_start`. Where am I wrong?

It has been a long time which there is a question in my mind. There are cheap s around. For huge computings on CPU, would many based single board computers like or replace a single ? If this is possible and considering that softwares are equally optimized on and ARM, the obvious advantage of a bunch of ARM tiny computers as a whole cluster over a single x86 would be that they consume much less power, thus they generate much less heat and hopefully longer product life. Also if any of them went down, your whole computing resource is still available but with a little less computing power. I have a NanoPi NEO and a 3rd gen Ci5 M series. But a piece of software is needed which could benchmark both my x86 and my ARM and on the compiler-level, is optimized equally for both.

Among the programs on my PC, I like my Terminal Emulator only. I have a slow HDD and whenever I want to open one of those GUI programs, they want to load soooo much from my Disk so they are much slower to load. Also when I don't use them for a while and their data on memory get placed in my swap space, having them back is again as slow as loading them almost. It seems that because computers have more and more memory, newer versions of programs want to waste more and more memory.

Hello all. I was thinking of a . So that one(possibly myself) could create a unified which is created by combining multiple RSS sources plus a good looking static HTML output. So that anyone could run such a thing only with static hostings which a lot of them are out there these days and a runner like or the one has. I wanted to know if such a thing already exists. If not, I would be happy to create one myself with or perhaps

Jesus christ! Replacing a digital clock crystal with an atomic clock is the most hacker thing ever. This people didn't fuck around, those were true hackers. They were not happy enough by overclocking their 286/386s.

They needed such precission in their clocks they changed their computer clocks with ATOMIC CLOCKS.

A week ago, people in in south east of were attacked with military weapons. Some videos were showing a military helicopter patroling around.
While till that day after about 2 weeks of about 100 were killed, in a single day in the biggest city of Sistan at least around 30 were killed including women and few children.

The next day said they were terrorists attacking innocent people after the

The such as said it was Iran's forces. However in the next days everyone forgot that and those medias put emphasize on and only.

People of Sistan are not only the poorest people in Iran but they are also alone and it seems the majority of Iranians don't care much about them.

I've got a new religious post on my website: far.chickenkiller.com/religion

BTW, I have added RSS button to my website ;)

Is Quran referring to BigBang in 21:30?

Are the disbelievers not aware that the heavens and the earth used to be joined together and that We ripped them apart, that We made every living thing from water? Will they not believe?

Start day with Al - Quran. Today is Surah At - Taubah 40 :

.. Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us..

I think the main problem of free software not being good comparing to their propriety alternative is funding. As there are examples such as PeerTube which are very good being a free software when some company funds the developer to work full time on the project. Of course there are examples like Element which have that but they're not very good because they've spent their effort in the wrong way.
