Now here is the sure-fire way to discern the incompetent, unqualified,
pretentious individual anywhere in the industry, anyone who would start out
by saying something to the effect of "Your limited experience..." or "Since
you are so inexperienced, but me, Im so worldly and all knowing..." or
"You should leave the high tech concepts to people who are more
experienced..."

Ive seen them in the industry, they hide the lack of ability by being the
first to call others incompetent, everything is rehearsed, they dont like
people watching them solve problems, they form into tight cliques and launch
office politics type attacks to defend their job. I seek out that attitude,
if I find it in my company? The person is fired about as surely as Donald
Trump fires people for his reasons.

The byte is 8 bits, even when its 9 bits its still 8 bits! The extra bit is
parity and is not part of the data.

In computer memory, a byte is 8 bits, all standard addressing schemes are
based upon the byte level addressing.

The K&R type of C, or the ANSI C seem to use the type byte as 8 bits wide, I
ask for industry examples of a non-8 bit byte, the Wikipedia endorses what
Ive said

How about the use of byte since 1957? or since the first microprocessor,
the 4004 in 1971?
