Either you have a strange and narrow definition of "human", or you are
so brave as to cheerfully insult (inter alia) Romanians, Russians,
Icelanders, Greeks, Turks, Czechs, Estonians, Finns, Slovaks,
Slovenians, and Vietnamese :-)
Sorry if I offended someone, that was certainly not my intention.
And I guess you will be surprised, if I tell you, I don't (want) to
understand any bit of the above code ;-)
Come on, the home computer was invented about 1980.
If we look at hardware, it follows the Moore's law,
for software I would expect at least 0.1 of Moore's law ;-)
I hope that clarifies my point.
cheers,
Stef
