Yes it is spam.
Or will be, after some grinding and canning.

That's the tricky part.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm surprised that people haven't gone crazy with the reviews on that one. I'm half tempted to post a funny review myself!

Do it, but I think you have to buy the product first, before they let you post a review these days. Remember to share the bacon butties around.

 I think you may have started something there. I wonder if they leave your review up.
Did you buy a kit?

No. First I tried to create a bogus account, but amazon requires at least one purchase of anything (except free stuff) before you can post a review. So I ended up having to use my own account, which makes payroll for a few employees at amazon

With the (forced) retirement of one of my comrades in arms, I am having to remember my MS-DOS programming skills. We have an MS-DOS app that is still in use, written in C, and running on a credit card-sized "PC-in-a-box". There's plenty of inline assembly language to add to the fun. Naming conventions are in short supply, and I've seen several globals with two character names.
The scary part is how much of this crap comes back to me, after looking at it for an hour or two  .

That's the weird thing - I look at C++ code I wrote 25 years ago (still in use) and I discover I still retain the mental map of how the code was laid out. Crazy.

At least it is your own code... that reduces the probability of WTF is that a little bit

Actually, it increases it. I tend to look at my code from a few years ago and almost always have a WTF experience.

On the bad side, this isn't my code plus as I mentioned the naming conventions aren't. The good side is that the code isn't huge, and is only under maintenance for internal uses. I therefore have a reasonable chance of keeping changes to a minimum.

Admit it. You enjoy running around in girlie shorts. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's nice
Not certain if I would wear a men's version of it, but I can see women at my gym wearing that.
I'd rather be phishing!
