Processing (Processor)
Friday, February 25, 2005
A CPUThe arithmetic and logical unit, or ALU, is the device that performs elementary operations such as arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, and so on), logical operations (AND, OR, NOT), and comparison operations (for example, comparing the contents of two bytes for equality). This unit is where the "real work" is done.
The control unit keeps track of which bytes in memory contain the current instruction that the computer is performing, telling the ALU what operation to perform and retrieving the information (from memory) that it needs to perform it, and transfers the result back to the appropriate memory location. Once that occurs, the control unit goes to the next instruction (typically located in the next slot (memory address), unless the instruction is a jump instruction informing the computer that the next instruction is located in another location). When referrring to memory, the current instruction may use various addressing modes to determine the relevant address in memory.

Village People
Saturday, December 4, 2004
The Village People were a disco band of the late 1970s. The gay-themed group was well known for their outrageous on-stage costumes (the members dressing up as a police officer, an American Indian chief, a construction worker, a soldier, and a cowboy) as for their catchy tunes and lyrics, which had gay themes which are often considered to be subtle enough to be missed by some heterosexuals.
Although the band sang in English, it has been created (in 1977) and managed by two French musicians, Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo (see picture (disco-disco.com/images/henri-j-vp.jpg)), who also wrote their songs. It was therefore somewhat artificial, like Frank Farian's Boney M or Trevor Horn's Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
The band's name references the somewhat gay area of New York City named Greenwich Village. Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo got the inspiration for creating an assembly of American man archetypes while walking through the Village one day and meeting gay men dressed in various fantasy ways.
Their hit "In The Navy" was considered by the United States Navy for use in a recruiting advertising campaign on television and radio. They contacted Belolo, who decided to give the rights for free but at the condition that the Navy helps them to shoot the music video. Less than a month later The Village People arrived at the San Diego Naval base. The Navy provided them with a war ship, several airplanes and hundreds of Navy men. However, when the video started showing and the Navy started the parallel ad campaign some newspapers protested against using taxpayer money to fund music videos (and especially for a morally dubious group). The Navy cancelled the campaign as a result. The scandal boosted the popularity of the song tremendously.
