What are emulators, programmers and unloopers?

Facts About DIRECTV's Anti-Piracy Enforcement
These are all devices that enable people to modify access cards to steal DIRECTV's signals without paying for them. An emulator uses the capabilities of personal computers to mimic the functions of an access card. Emulators connect to computers running software that grants unauthorized access to channels. Programmers are devices that reprogram access cards to alter which channels are received.

Why did Programmers Do This?

Y2K Frequently Asked Questions
Saving Space in computer memory. Originally, computers had very small amounts of memory available and the repeated use of two extra numbers could make a significant difference on the amount of memory available so in the interests of efficiency, the seemingly redundant thousands and hundreds were dropped.

Should GNOME programmers switch over to Mono now?

FAQ: General - Mono
Yes, we believe that Mono 1.0 is ready to be used as the main development platform for building applications for the GNOME desktop. Mono includes Gtk# a .NET binding for GTK+ and various GNOME libraries which together with C# and the System libraries provide developers with great productivity for building graphical applications especially when compared to GTK+ or Java Swing.

Are there any HP48 Emulators?

HP48 Frequently Asked Questions List (FAQ): Miscellaneous Qu...
A fully functional HP48 emulator by Eddie Dost called "x48" is available. It runs in X-Windows on any Unix based operating system like Linux or Solaris. However, it requires a ROM dump of an HP48 to run. Of course, due to copyright laws such a ROM dump cannot be distributed with the x48 package. Therefore, you must be the proud owner of an HP48 (S/SX or G/GX) in order to create your own ROM dump. See similar questions...

What about software emulators?

Frequently Asked Questions
If the emulator software satisfies the conditions for "free" under the licence, then it does not prevent the platform from being classified as free. However, if the emulator is non-free, then the platform becomes non-free. For example, if you are running GNU/Linux on top of a virtual PC created by VMware (a non-free PC emulator) than the GNU/Linux does not count as a free platform. If you reboot and run GNU/Linux directly on the hardware, then that is a free platform. See similar questions...

Do extreme programmers (XPers) model?

Agile Modeling -- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes. They create user stories, free-form sketches, and acceptance tests on a regular basis. XP even has the practice "Stand-Up Design Session" which is another term for model storming. What XPers do is take a very agile approach to their modeling efforts, in fact AM has it's roots in XP. This is different from traditional modeling, and as a result when many traditionalists first look at XP they think that XPers aren't modeling at all because the XPers are traveling light.

Why aren't your emulators free?

Frequently Asked Questions (with answers)
Some of them are free: HP-41E (for HP-48S/SX/G/G+/GX and HP-49G), TI-57E (for HP-48S/SX/G/G+/GX and HP-49G) and TI-95E (for Windows). So, no one can say that I don't give anything for free. I spent too much time and money on development and I don't see a single reason to give the other emulators (HP-41X + HP-IL, HP-42X, HP-71X + HP-IL, HP-1XE, various printer emulators) for free. See similar questions...

How can I have all emulators installed on the same machine?

Frequently Asked Questions (with answers)
Installing all of them on a single HP-49G (not to speak about HP-49G+/50G) is too complicated (if not impossible, for various reasons and hardware/software design flaws made by HP/ACO/Kinpo) but the situation with HP-48GX (equipped with RAM cards, of course) is perfect. You just need some utilities for port management and you can have excellent multiple-emulator environment on a single HP-48GX. These utilities are free of charge for registered users. See similar questions...

What about releasing your emulators as open-source?

Frequently Asked Questions (with answers)
Yes, what about it? From time to time, I receive a request to release them as open-source. Sometimes it sounds like I SHOULD do this because it is to be expected. Well, I SHOULD do only what I WANT to do. And I DON'T WANT to release anything as open-source because I have no reason to do this. Except in a few rare cases, I don't like this open-source concept at all so I will not participate. All my emulators will be closed-source forever. Don't waste your and my time asking such questions.
