If so, I'd open the door, if I was you - it might be important!

LAPAROSCOPY
a.k.a. keyhole surgery

I had a laparascopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair a couple of years ago. That required three, not one, keyholes but after six months the scars were virtually invisible, and now even I can't find them. (Each about 1cm long). Very clever stuff.

Multiplies register contents (by 2) leaving the "ones" column "open"??

I just took a survey about Software Development and one of the questions asked was if in the last year I have written code to target Netscape. WTF | :WTF:

Netscape is a company, and maybe you could target a missile strike at their headquarters?

I still know some people who are really good at playing Missile Command[^]. Mickeysoft Redshirts will not be very effective against me. Nor would their Stormtroopers. My old dad would probably still be able to deal with them.

Either that, or you'll end up supporting an ancient legacy system that the business depends on.
