      Sadly, their efforts get fed through plagiarism software these days, so not really an option any more.

      I did point out that finding someone else's efforts on the interweb thingie is one thing, making it do something sensible is rather more difficult.

        I suppose if you fed the stuff into some sort of obfuscating program, it might help, though the assembler instructions would stay in the same order.

        As would any comments. (Unless these get stripped out).

                The knuckle of the middle finger on my left hand is giving I grief.

                I blame excessive self abuse.

                Or something.
