Hello, and let me welcome you to the Stuf Archives, the place to let all rantings come out in an orderly, non-violent way. Although only stuff by me is in the archives currently, anyone can submit any type of essay or offer a counter-point essay to anything I have written. Also, please post your quick responses on the RantBoard located below and throughout the site or the guestbook. Also you go to each of the essay by clicking on its title/heading.

Please post your quick responses to the essays or other random thoughts on the RantBoard located to the left. The guestbook should be used for entries that you do not want deleted as the RantBoard does not archive. Any entry with the name of "andras" or "Andras" (capitalization does not matter) is me. Also, this board is only available in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

I strongly dislike the "wildly popular" computer language C++. My experience with it has been nothing but a disaster plagued by incompotency, stupidity, and nagging headaches. I went as far as writing a letter to the inventor of C++ in which I asked him if could have invented anything more lame. And yes, he responded.
