- No, because the "best" programmers around say:
-
- << Virtualization is the way to go. In the future the CPU's will be programmed
- in Basic and Arexx, so all the -lame- τ°dµrz must write "code" in C++ (the
- most low-end programming language that God created, and God is with us) and NOT
- touch any hardware register because the good OS will do it much better for us >>
-
- This will be called "The Technology Darkness Era".
-
-
- May the force be with you...
-
- ;D
-
-
- And I'll make the "HARDWARE ULTRAHITTING VIRUS" =))))))))))
- Then you'll have to keep it in your system, because I will not give you the C++
- source to look at, it will be written in PURE ASSEMBLY and will not use the OS.

- hihihi :D
