KROC or Kroc may refer to:
KRoC, the Kent Retargetable occam Compiler, is an occam implementation that is based on the INMOS occam 2.1 compiler as a front-end and a retargetable back-end to produce machine code for various microprocessors. Ports of the compiler have been made for PowerPC, SPARC, x86 and Alpha processors.
Along with the translation to different processors, the KRoC team have modified the compiler significantly, creating a compiler for what has become known as occam v2.5, and now as occam-pi.
Originally the translation from the occam compiler front-end was by interpretation of the ASCII assembly language file. This worked reasonably well but was slow and occasionally inconvenient.
The current KRoC compiler target is an Extended Transputer Code (ETC), which is then translated into the target machine language. ETC code can be viewed as a kind of byte code; it is a compact description of the compiler's intent on a Virtual Machine that is similar to the transputer.
ETC-code variants of the KRoC compiler exist for Intel x86 on Linux, x86 on Windows using Cygwin, and a SPARC port is in the works.
KROC (1340 AM) is an American news/talk radio station located in Rochester, Minnesota. The station first started broadcasting in the early 1930s. KROC broadcasts many nationally syndicated talk shows as well as several shows with local personalities.
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53 stations from Cumulus Media, including KROC, for $238 million. The deal is part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management. The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.
The KROC air staff includes Rich Peterson, Andy Brownell, Tracy McCray, and Kim David. Local weekday programming includes Rochester's Good Morning with Rich Peterson, Rochester Today with Andy Brownell, Broad Talk with Tracy McCray, The Noon Report, and a talk show hosted by Andy Brownell. Syndicated weekday programming on KROC includes Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, America in the Morning with Jim Bohannon, Garage Logic with Joe Soucheray, and talk shows hosted by Chris Plante, Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity, and Jim Bohannon.
I knew you
Before you entered through the deadly door
It's eaten away at you
It's given you the edge
You're dreaming of returning
But you don't think you can
(You don't think you can)
They don't sell the product to you
They sell you to the product
They don't give a fuck about you
They just want their deadly dosh
I wish you could see through this
I wish you could believe
That you can really do this
I know you can
Cuz i knew you
Before you entered through the deadly door
It's eaten away at you
It's given you the edge
You're dreaming of returning
But you don't think you can
You don't think you can
They don't want to know about
Your aspirations
They don't care about where they are
Sending you to
They dont't mind they don't mind
To blacken your stream
They are pulling you along
So when will you see
That i knew you
Before you entered through the deadly door
It's eaten away at you
It's given you the edge
You're dreaming of returning
Cuz i knew you
Before you entered through the deadly door
It's eaten away at you
It's given you the edge
You're dreaming of returning
(dreaming of returning
you are dreaming of returning to that
to that same world
