Great we will talk to God and put a little Jamil in to
each OR1K to do the math.

No this is because ignorance of Jamil Khatib, who only
selectively reads emails ...

Do you actually understand English ????  Moran.
Reread the paragraph above again, and notice the
text about random code using the same seed all the
time.

Oh my, aren't you a little prick !

Let's see, where to begin. Damjan has the opportunity
to build the OR1K in real silicon. Something you will
never experience again in YOUR life, unless you can convince
some poor fool that you are not a clueless little prick.

The code that I'm writing will be placed on opencores web
page and be made public.

No, I actually never wanted to work on the FPU. I got n email
from a guy in France, asking me if I had some basic single
precision floating point cores. I didn't, so I decided to
write them. After the basic functions where done, I placed it
to opencores.

That's when Damjan asked me if I would like to help out with
the FPU (He probably realized that you where unable to produce
anything).

Great ! Does this mean you will finally go away and stop wasting
my time ? Right now I'm spending more time replying to your emails
then doing verilog coding.

You are the most incapable person I have ever encountered ....

Stop crying, we all know that you will never produce any
useful code ...
