I think you think I mean the shell script is GNU too. I mean the shell
script replaces GNU too, which is why it could be a while before you see
it on gnu.org.

That sourcecode I posted is for my assembler in Bash, osimplay. Some
people think it's funny. Personally, I think 64k of asm("") in Linux is
funny.

"Let's face it. C sucks." Alan Cox, puctuation added by me, obviously.

Unlike Alan, I did something about it. And like C, I have no use any
longer for Alan.

And yet, somehow ... you think we have a use for you?

Given a choice between Alan and you, I feel confident in the knowledge
who 99.999999999% of the world would find more useful.

I was the remaining 0.000000001%, and I just changed my mind ;-)
You can say 100% now....

I thought there was already a hardware implementation of this:

Although rumor has it that the "Four levels of power management" patch
was only recently merged.

Hmm, I'm not sure Alan has the necessary skills to design an
assembler that looks like the glue-sniffing bastard son from
a drunken encounter of Intercal and APL ;-)

Please note the use of the word "useful" at the end of my sentence.
It was not accidental ;-)
