Listener comments!

  7:03pm
Adam in Portland:

I love this show!
  7:06pm
Cliff:

Please don't tell me this entire episode is going to use computer-generated voices.
  7:07pm
max:

This is weird even by this shows standards
  7:07pm
Sean:

I kind of hope this entire episode is going to use computer-generated voices. Hearing the typing is brilliant.
  7:08pm
Dan B from Upstate:

Mike and Rich?
  7:08pm
Dan B from Upstate:

This needs Zebra Trucks!
  7:09pm
Caryn:

Their envy of Stephen Hawking has reached boiling point. The result: tonight's show.
  7:11pm
Cliff:

The only way this could be worse is if they start mixing in the Dan Tullis and Joel Clark insurance commercial.
  7:11pm
Scuttle:

Waffle Talk
  7:12pm
Caryn:

One of the female voices sounds like Isabella Rosselini.

And we've moved from 2 days of taco talk to waffle talk.
  7:12pm
Sean:

Cliff, perhaps you had a bad experience with a waffle? It might be time to give them another chance.
  7:12pm
Frankie:

Youse guys is nuts.
  7:12pm
Cliff:

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT WAFFLES!!!
  7:14pm
Sean:

It's okay Cliff, these are BELGIAN waffles.
  7:15pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

Hey, I know computers!
  7:18pm
Scuttle:

So funny
  7:18pm
meghan:

Caryn are you talking about my taco coffee?
  7:19pm
Sean:

this is amazing.
  7:20pm
max:

Night people is maybe the only radio show that can do an episode like this without alienating its audience at all
  7:23pm
Caryn:

@meghan: well, that too, but tacos have been a major talking point on most of the comment boards for 2 days now. Nice to get some variety with the waffles.
  7:24pm
meghan:

Interesting.... Had no clue when my coffee tasted like that
  7:25pm
mac:

Yea this is pretty retarded.
  7:26pm
The Internet:

Put shoe on head.
  7:26pm
Dan B From Upstate:

Thank you for using Stank T & T.
  7:28pm
max:

Even at its most out there I can't ever remember this show going this far out, even relaxation radio had boundaries
  7:29pm
Josh:

This definitely out there.
  7:29pm
some other guy:

I think I have perfected the text-to-speech fart: "ootph"
  7:30pm
meghan:

Max... No it didn't! I caught the strangest things during relaxation radio
  7:30pm
Dan B From Upstate:

Double Deuling Ws.
  7:30pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

What is the number again?
  7:31pm
Josh:

Is that the genre here? Relaxation radio? My first time hearing that.
  7:31pm
Sean:

I don't know, remember when they played miniature golf in the studio? About 15 minutes of that relaxation radio bit was Dave looking for the ball.
  7:31pm
Dan B From Upstate:

201-536-9368
  7:33pm
meghan:

Yes! They got me to play it with them. Then Nachum walked in and it was like we got caught doing something stupid
  7:33pm
Caryn:

Actually, Disney World basically becomes a gay leather bar after the gates close. Maybe Disneyland is the same way.
  7:34pm
JJJ:

A bit is a 1 or 0, a byte is 8 bits
  7:35pm
Bit Head:

A bit is a digit that can have one of only two values: zero or one. A 64-bit operating system can address locations in memory with addresses represented with 64-bits.
  7:35pm
some other guy:

IT'S A CONTRACTION FOR A SINGLE BINARY DIGIT!!! "B'IT"!!! ARGH.
  7:35pm
JJJ:

64 bit addresses
  7:35pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

Club 33 - you guys haven't been there?
  7:36pm
Bit Head:

8-bit systems are limited to the number of locations in memory that can be addressed with 8-bits.
  7:36pm
Sean:

Hi Meghan! haha, miniature golf could never be stupid. I think i'd like to live my life as if it was Relaxation Radio
  7:37pm
jack:

The size of a 'byte' can be implementation dependent, but usually it is 8-bits
  7:37pm
jack:

It's all factors of two
  7:38pm
john:

talk about biting and flopping .
  7:39pm
Caryn:

These two have been waffling, biting and flopping tonight. In an enjoyable way.
  7:39pm
JJJ:

Hardware has kinda reached a limit with how fast it can go, hence multiple processors being used nowadays. It's kinda up to the software guys now to make multiple processors work together better, that's the next step to going faster
  7:40pm
some other guy:

next let's interview a computer scientist about microbiology. Is the stream all messed up for anyone besides me right now?
  7:40pm
meghan:

Hey Sean! Wait.... I think it was shuffleboard.... Ping pong paddle, olive's dog ball and the console..... Can't remember fully if the called that one mini golf or shuffleboard
  7:41pm
john:

it's a stream of piss to me
  7:41pm
Bit Head:

Quartz is NOT a conductor! It's a dielectric material.
  7:41pm
mrmucho:

can't wait until they talk about quantum computing
  7:44pm
meghan:

There you go..... Back to tacos
  7:44pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

They are using real words, but that is about it.
  7:44pm
Bit Head:

An algorithm is any series of specific steps carried out to accomplish a desired goal.
  7:45pm
JJJ:

An algotritm is just a program to do something. Equals sign is just equality
  7:45pm
jack:

That's a really bad explanation of an algorithm. An algorithm is really just a set of instructions (like a recipe)
  7:45pm
Bit Head:

A simple algorithm? Long division done by hand.
  7:46pm
mrmucho:

ask him about loop invariants
  7:47pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

What is the opposite of an expert?
  7:48pm
Bit Head:

Loop invariants? You mean guards?
  7:53pm
Bit Head:

But DNS data is copied and distributed everywhere!
  7:53pm
Rich:

waffles all around!!
  7:57pm
~L:

If it all gets stored in the Cloud, what happens if the cloud crashes?
  7:58pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

There is a cloud cloud.
  7:59pm
Caryn:

Every crashing cloud has a silver lining.
  7:59pm
Sean:

if the cloud crashes, it rains images of cats
  8:00pm
some other guy:

Is the cloud cloud the atmosphere?
