Interesting tit-bits from fortune ..

[zaniyah]

#define BITCOUNT(x) (((BX_(x)+(BX_(x)>>4)) & 0x0F0F0F0F) % 255)
#define BX_(x) ((x) - (((x)>>1)&0x77777777) \
- (((x)>>2)&0x33333333) \
- (((x)>>3)&0x11111111))

-- really weird C code to count the number of bits in a word

If you like random code for slightly random things I recommend:

I would lend it to you but I'd probably never see it again! ;)

I still have your book! I have just not had a chance to see you when I had it with me. :(
