ohhh, i see yet another e-biceps thread.
so the older architecture i know assembly for, the bigger my 
biceps is?

also Paulo, something doesnt play right here. from what you were 
saying about things you have done and when, i've gathered, that 
you should be something about 80 years old by now.

not sure how much true it is in XXI century, but its funny how 
our profesor of computer architectures (who originates from 
Ukrain) assumes that we were taught physics in primary school. 
No, we were gathering pokemon cards, playing football and 
fighting each other in primary school for fuck sake

that is nothing. We were squashing atoms by hand in CERN with 
Paulo when we were 5.

back to the topic.

i wonder how big earnings in Soctiomantic are, given that you are 
told to program in rather exotic programming language (exotic as 
non-main stream enough).
