Anecdotal, but bzr(1) has always run fairly slowly for me. I don't know much about it, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I've never gotten it to download at more than a few KBps, when git(1) manages to hit my max download speed easily.
Anecdotally, this would often just outright segfault GIMP for me. I ended up having to use a different image editing program entirely until this was fixed.

I feel as though the gp comment is referring to far older versions, although without clarification, it's hard to be sure.
On an unrelated note, I liked the way that the post was written. It made reading the details more interesting (but then again, I'm one of those young whippersnappers, so maybe I'm just more prone to liking that sort of thing).
Now with that out of the way, that's pretty cool. I think it's interesting how the idea of a 10-million-light-year-tall robot was taken seriously in this way; given the comparisons with existing robots (in fiction and real life), I like how the conclusion that was reached is "it's unlikely but possible." It gives me hope that maybe, out there in the universe somewhere, there's something awesome like that hiding.

Well it's just a sequence of bytes somewhere in-memory, no? If the C compiler allows the cast, then it'd compile fine, and the CPU wouldn't know the difference; it'd just execute whatever instructions the sequence of bytes listed.
Since people seem to put the Turbo/Mini/Maxx in the same group, would it work on any of them? :)
