Short Post ...

[rrr314159]

Having observed and participated in the MASM32 subculture for a sufficient period, I would like to proffer the following two dozen admonitory remarks, garnered via the "hard knocks" of real-world experience, which, while pertinent and intellectually stimulating, aren't applicable to programming per se. Hence, my posting here where "anything goes".

1. Keep posts short or they won't be read

2 thru 24: N/A

1. Keep posts short or they won't be read

It's not a matter of short or long when one needs to describe a problem with the required details. Sometimes, we see here members asking for help without providing the necessary details. Those short posts does not help at all.

Whattttttttttt? Please explain the nature of matter in a closed space,and under strict temperature controlled conditions...will your ass freeze solid,or will it simply "Feel" frozen solid...? People want to know....
Thanks in advance you masters of time and space...

@vortex: you're right. Some (not all, by any means) help-seekers expect you to read their minds, it seems. Best (if possible) is to provide the actual code causing trouble. However I was talking about my own posts; and I don't ask for help.

@anunitu: Here's your answer: I shoveled snow all morning, and my posterior (and other extremities) "Felt" frozen solid. However I checked it carefully, and it wasn't frozen solid; still had some give to it. You're welcome, in, uh, retreat.

@others:

Consider it a symptom of assembler programmers: the same people who can barely concentrate for long enough to type whole words for instructions - "move" is obviously too long, just put "mov"; "subtract" is far too long, let's go with "sub"; "no-op", more like no way, "nop" is a whole letter shorter!

rrr,

Sounds like you need a solar powered snow plow. Have you had any luck with the downed power lines and other services being restored ?

Yes, everything's back to normal; more snow predicted for tomorrow and Sunday, though! We've had about 3 ft in 2 installments. 6 inches or less is negligible, but multi-feet is tough. U can ride a horse OK, but wagons git bogged down somethin' awful. Wal, gotta go chop more wood fer the stove - the missus is makin flapjacks fer brekfist ...
