ROFLMAO!

Reminds me of the quizzical looks I got from the secretarial staff at DTSS
when I used to insist on performing the revision page merges into the
manuals personally. (Dinosaur age doc tar corrections.) Management even
didn't complain about the time it consumed after the second time it saved
huge amounts of lost effort working around bugs that had been repaired in
the assembler.

Is the next round of meta-optimization figuring out how to influence the
optimizer to get to a good solution in fewer permutations? (non-sequiter
intentional)

Yes! A dynamic e-book where corrections are emailed directly to us when
detected. That sounds like a winner.

By the way: If it isn't too late, I'd like to post the following review
on Amazon of the not-yet-planned book from Wolfgang Breitling:

==============================================================
Title: 10053 reasons to perform a dump in your own house

Author: Wolfgang Brightthing

Review (no stars, posted by Egghead): This book is a complete waste of
the 10053 dollars I had to pay for it on Barnes & Noble. The book
doesn't cover any of the undocumented features of event 10053, but
simply does a step-by-step walkthrough of the self-explanatory,
easy-to-read, well-documented event. The author wastes page after page
explaining things instead of showing the use of oradebug. I'll never buy
that book again
==============================================================
