a must read for newbies and pro's

assembly isn't usefull to everyone... altough I like the more to the hardware approuch (and speed that goes with it) you can get with assembly but with c also, many people prefer being totally independant upon hardware... if you're a javaprogrammer and you expect your code to work on every piece of electronics, you don't give a **** about registers and whatever is done with them and you sure as hell get nightmares of the spaghetti jump statements
also it's interesting to know how your computer works, but you don't need to learn assembly to get to know that... assembly is quite timeconsuming for some real programming and you'll barely ever need it because you can do pretty much everything in higher programming languages... unless you gonne be a cracker or something

like i said in my previous post, a REAL programmer doesn't master just one language, and what you need to know for programming is talked about here, assembly is just the way of showing it.

if this piece of paper would use C to show you how programs work, they'd still have to use assembly (in C) to show you how the cpu works, how registers work, and how the stack works.

so i think it is not something decided in a one night sleep, but they actually thought about it before making this decision. and i do not expect myself knowing assembly after i've read this book, but what i do expect is that i will become a more efficient programmer (in C).

and although i still am planning to learn ASM, that wasn't the reason why i've started to read this book

neel--> ik snap er de ballen niet van, is dat Fries (BR: ) of zo, die signature van jou?

About firefox not working with gmail, if you are going through a proxie make shure you fill out all the protocols.

ik ook, maar toch snap ik het niet

lepricaun >> brabants

me too, but i still don't get it

NL: Ik zie mij verplicht verstorende maatregelen te nemen. BR: Ik skup oe lups

this is the one i do not understand, i can't make anything from the response (BR that would make any sense...



i'm not using a proxy with firefox, and i have this on 3 systems, not just one, and never altered any of the settings....
