You might say so. The idea was they should've given proper credit instead

Not really, because calloc has to assume generic multiplication.
In cases where the compiler knows the multiplicand, it can shift two
times to left instead of applying the generic multiplication instruction.
Which produces faster code.

There are stories about a certain professor who disliked the value
0xF001 because his buggy program happened to print it during a demo.
But seriously, that technique is indeed far superior to implicit clearing.

The ballot was PERFECTLY CLEAR. Even my DOG can follow an arrow.
The problem was that certain senile Democrat sychophants were too
lazy to remember WHO they wanted to vote for, so they mere wrote
down the position-number of the candidates on their 'palm card'
(pre-printed by the Demoncrook party)....
And these morons didn't even bother to CHECK THE NAME on the ballot
to check to see HOW the ballot layout corresponded with the holes.
All they bothered to do was "vote for #2"....which, for those who
were counting HOLES, rather than counting NAMES, ended up being
the candidate in position 6.

The ftp site for a distribution will not contain any code that is not legal to

While I agree with the ideas above, we've been saying that fusion is 5-10 years
