    I learned how NOT to code in 370 assembly having to maintain a program that only used a 1 digit field for the year, so changes had to be made when we moved in to the 80's and 5 years later past the decade halfway point, to this day I remember the branch label "rubybaby" teaching me about professionalism in coding. I that coder is a current /.er, thanx for the education, man.

    I haven't bought a newspaper in probably six years.

    No purchase necessary, they toss honking rolls of advertisements on my driveway with metronomic regularity. Probably make a fortune if I could get them to toss it in a vat of yeast instead.
