            Not Broken            01/01/70 00:00      
   look for samples of FFT code ...            01/01/70 00:00      
   this is competing to make the worst possible            01/01/70 00:00      
      it's certainly not the solution...            01/01/70 00:00

                                 with the error or without?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    the 49 is a compare the 48 is coding time            01/01/70 00:00

                                                   Language and vocabulary contributions            01/01/70 00:00

                  are you perfect?            01/01/70 00:00

                     One page of comments per statement?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        If it's to be understood later on ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           if I have to explain my choice of syntax in C, the            01/01/70 00:00
