I never get involved in assembler aside from DSP. It's far too difficult to
maintain and far too easy to write nonsense code.

A British Assistant Chief Constable has also very recently made the suggestion
that heroin addicts should be given free heroin ( we don't have that crack
cocaine and crystal meth stuff much here AIUI ). It'll simply result in less
crime.

Sure it is. While everyone gets what they need to stay alive and healthy, the
best advance. However, wealth isn't a consideration in advancement as it is
under capitalism.

If a soldier has a heart attack they're discharged from
