 | | Although technically not an example of either, the f00f is often considered an HCF instruction, or a killer poke. | | | Since the f00f bug has become common knowledge, the term is sometimes used to describe similar hardware design flaws, such as the Cyrix coma bug. | | | Operating System vendors responded by implementing workarounds that detected the condition and prevented the crash. |

| | White Space |
| | In this particular case, I attempted to constrain the answer to the question “how should a literal carriage return, #x0D, be treated in a formatting object tree?” I thought there were three possibilities: treat it like a space, treate it like a line feed, #x0A, or discard it. | | | There were at least five answers, two others being: treat it as a line feed with line-feed-treatment set to preserve and treat it as an error (“halt and catch fire”). | | | Before we could answer this question, of course, we had to spend twenty minutes making sure we all understood the rules for numeric character references and attribute value normalization. |

| | According to Steve Fink: "The basic status is that lots of people, many of them coincidentally named Leopold Tötsch, have been fixing zillions of things and implementing a number of new features. | | | Iacob Alin wondered if the various types would be PMCs (answer: Only those types which don't easily map to native types.) Florian Weimer wondered about trapping integer arithmetic. | | | Dan says these will be handled using Parrots standard exception handling mechanism (which doesn't actually exist yet, but signs in the wind suggest we might be getting a Halt and Catch Fire op to raise an exception). |
