LOL

acually it's not - it is like Chuck Norris - it wrote itself! Very Happy

What most of them say about the closed source is true, but you can 'tinker' the 32-bit source if you want. You just can't take the SECOND 'baby' away from Ville. That would be a weird form of surrogacy Razz

ASM will never die, make your compilers as smart as you like. Compilers have rules, but I don't like rules. I like shortcuts. I'm the guy who takes different routes every time coming from work to home Smile

Heh. Here in the city of perpetual traffic jams you have no choice but to spend an hour and a half for creative work of navigating a mish-mash of tiny streets instead of spending an hour in the mind-numbing boredom of a jammed road.

On topic - not many people can appreciate the beauty of complexity in the staggering simplicity.
