It's portable assembler in the language and (mostly) semantics, but not system interfacing. Meaning you can just create functions, loops, assign variables, create expressions etc. in a common syntax that spans a wide variety of CPU arc

but if you did, you stated it'd be closer to the truth than me calling terrorists worse than big oil. and you accuse me of hyperbole! look, lets say you are right about the seriousness and evilness of big oil. the reason the eco-terro

unfortunately that's a terrible idea: 1. copyright licenses cannot be imagined to limit what you do with the legal copy of your software. it's not what copyright is or does. 2. it's also no longer an open source license,

You should use a 2-BSD/3-BSD, 0-BSD, MIT-0, or CC0 (less so) instead if you are practical and want a practical nearly-as-possible public domain license. You can use the WTFPL if you want to thumb your nose at copyright for political re

wow, that's maybe even a better example of hyperbole. Engaging in written discourse that disagrees with you is closer to being a nazi than saying protesters that break numerous laws, harass thousands of innocent people for media attent

could we do an experiment to "unlock the full potential" of disabled vets, maybe if they are only 20-30? Or does that attract downvotes too because disabled, needy, or old means you don't have potential?
