HEAR HEAR!  Let's do this!

  There are still some of us crufty old machine language swashbucklers
  left around who were long ago put in irons by the CS types for such
  offenses as self-modifying code and dynamic stack allocation.  The CS
  types are constantly pissing on their shoes because they don't look at
  what their compilers are doing to them (they don't fathom real-time
  urinals).  On occasion they let us out (to help them with one of their
  unfathomable problems) and what we usually find is precisely the
  addressed situation: someone is messing with a data structure that
  isn't where they think it is, or doesn't contain the form they wanted
  to twiddle.

  Of course, CS has brought us much benefit in terms programmer efficiency
  for the broad spectrum of problems that the VN machine has to solve.  But
  the future is with vectorization and whatever the next word will be for
  efficient real-situation organization of process/data packets.  For this
  we are going to have to not only know where our shoes are, but we are
  going to have to have a way to know it's our shoes and not Arnold the
  Schwartzenegger's.
