Great! Now we're going to infect another dimension with our viruses... Just what they need...

The most common use of "goto" in that circumstance is to enforce "only one return".

Which is every bit the pedantic lunacy that goto-hate is.

Not necessarily: sometimes you need to free memory, resources, etc.

I don't use goto anymore, but back in the days of 16-bit and 12K stack, where we had to malloc() local variables, a 'one return' goto proved useful to branch to free() without excessively nested 'if's.

The volunteer fire brigade is no longer necessary?

Not so. In rural communities, the tax burden of a paid fire department would be unaffordable. The volunteer fire brigade is a vital and respected part of the community.

That's "card reader", not "car".

Sorry, that hasn't been my experience. In the 70's I had a job writing Assembler for a Univac 9200 (32K memory, yes that's 'K'). The Master File Update program was 4,000 cards of source code. I would compile it a few times a day, and I rarely got a jam.

We ran the update once a day on the 40,000-card master file, using the 1,000 card/minute reader. There were a couple of jams each day. Once a wad of cards got caught in the pinch rollers: smoke started billowing out of the car reader. Good times.

OK, that's funny. Well deserving of +5.
Indulge me here in a rant about spelling.
I'm sure we all agree that English spelling is hard and irrational. G.B. Shaw joked that "ghoti" is pronounced "fish": 'gh' as in "cough", 'o' as in "women", and 'ti' as in "nation". Story goes that English spelling was set in stone by the first printer who typeset an English manuscript: a dutchman who didn't speak the language.
Spanish did away with all that nonsense years ago. Words are spelled exactly as they are pronounced: "fotografia", etc.
Correct spelling is important for the following reason: it's a measure of your skill at observation. If you have been looking at the correct spelling of a word all your life, every time you read, how come you can't get it right?
When you get hired for a job, you will be expected to learn lots of things by observation; also you will be expected to pay attention to detail. Whether you can spell or not is a measure of your ability. It's a test of whether you understand the code, have had the proper upbringing.
Bad spelling means you are not able to pay attention to detail, and you're a slow learner. Does that sound like someone an employer would want to hire? Unless it's flipping burgers.
Poor spelling is like showing up at a hip venue, dressed in a 70's leisure suit: you just don't get it.
Caveat: English is not my native language (neither is Spanish), sorry for any typos.

We have to nip this in the bud: it's "homogeneity" (Webster, Oxford)

Sorry about that.

In my days (70's) of supporting a family by getting paid to squeeze code into a 32K "mainframe", everybody called it "Assembler" or "Assembler language".

While I'm not a big fan of the latest versions of Office, I have yet to see a Web-based, on-line program that can handle two or three hundred-page technical documents, with automatic paragraph numbering, indices, cross-referencing, style formats, redlining, robust tables, etc. Heck even WordPerfect buggers up RTF.

"Twats"? "Cunts"? "Pricks"?
Sheesh! Make up your mind... Can't have it both ways.

Funny... I bought a top-of-the-line Lenovo ThinkPad a few months ago. At first, the fingerprint scan was fun. Then it stopped working reliably. I scan over and over and get that damn red circle. Now it's not worth trying anymore. And no, my fingerprint is not scarred, not wrinkled from being wet, not altered in any way.

I thought of re-scanning, but the Lenovo Support Tech said that, thanks to a quirk in their wonderful Client Security layer, I had to use my _original_ Windows password, not the password I had had the audacity to change recently. Needless to say I didn't remember my original password. Nor do I want to reset the BIOS (as he suggested).

Complexity dooms technology (see "Knob in the Shuttle window").

To accomplish that, use:

char *c, wk[512];
c = wk;
c += _snprintf(c, sizeof(wk) - (c - wk), "%s", someString);
c += _snprintf(c, sizeof(wk) - (c - wk), "%s", someOtherString);
...
etc
