i thought of four questions today for which i do not yet have answers:

* why aren't line-based UIs combining proportional (as opposed to fixed-width) fonts with horizontally tabular interfaces, like, a thing?
* how hard would it be to make an EMP grenade? characterize designs in terms of cost, your kV/m2 field, and likelihood of detection by <i>federales</i>
* can you write a program that you put in the background that reliably and continuously draws to some fixed location on the arbitrary terminal in which it was launched?
* if one wanted to retain all the operational advantages of virtual memory, but eliminate the page concept (alternatively, allow pages of arbitrary size) at the OS level (i.e. DRAM interface doesn't change, but let's say you can change your microarchitecture), and not set your MMU on fire, how could it be done, and what advantages would it bring?
