anyway hopefully somebody could tell us why we are schooled to shy away from goto and #define. speaking of that, i hate loud cars that just pass by and make so much noise for no good reason. hopefully someday soon i will complete my directed emp shockwave generator so i could teach those punks a lesson without blacking out the entire neighbourhood :D
