Re: [9fans] 8c "out of fixed registers"

If you think there is much linux/gcc/gnu bashing around here you must
be new, read the archives from years ago if you want some real
bashing. Hell, you could start with 'cat -v considered harmful' some
25 years ago: http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/

Unfortunately over the years it seems that the people with best taste
have either left or died (of course there are some exceptions, like
charles and  brucee who still make it worth reading 9fans).

I'm rather sad at all the linux/OS X apologists in this list lately. I
guess that the last oasis of sanity is starting to be drowned in the
ever growing dunes of gratuitous  complexity. *sigh*
