Learned a new phrase today. Protocol Buffers.
Protocol Buffers is a method of serializing structured data. It is useful in developing programs to communicate with each other over a wire or for storing data. The method involves an interface description language that describes the structure of some data and a program that generates source code from that description for generating or parsing a stream of bytes that represents the structured data.
Nice to have a shiny new buzzphrase for an old concept.

Sounds like the description of any IPC channel.

I wonder why it's been around for fifteen years but no-one's bothered with it.
Oh, wait. I've figured it out.

Yet the hype maybe useful, expecially while job mates think 'XML' is the right way for exchanging data with a microcontroller.

What do you get when multiplying all the possible numbers you can create on a phone dial-pad?

Oops. I unintentionally gave the same answer.
Oh, but duplicable results probably means it's the correct one!

Ha!
That's the right answer!

Software became one of the major defining problems of the system. There were no specs..we made it up. The software engineers were free to write almost anything they liked (at least at first). There were no specs, we made it up, and it's always amazing to me, why was I allowed to program something that hadn't even been specified that would be critical in assuring the success of the whole Apollo program? I couldn't believe it, but that's the way it was -- we made it up as we went along.

Considering the added performance of the new supercharger, I'm gonna have a dash plaque made:

SO what kind of power is she producing John?

Won't know until tomorrow or Friday, but I'm expecting 540-560 at the wheels, at around 575 lbft of torque.

So about 100 horse per liter? (Dont know CUs!  )
Thats a torquey motor, I would have thought more power less torque given the way the cams sound.

Torque is more the result of stroke length than CID. HP is based more on CID.
It's a 7 liter motor (427 CID), 1.3HP per cubic inch, or 80hp per liter.
