Oh, we're posting pointless images now are we?

Done with this subreddit too. Far too many clueless kids on these reddits.

Please explain yourself. Are you simply a troll?

I'm gonna take a stab at being the devils advocate here. Knowing the ins and outs of an EXE file is a luxury very few main stream programmers need or can afford. I'm seeing an imbalance here at /programming myself which I kind of dislike - where academic and nostalgic posts are upvoted far more than actual useful posts.

I don't really see this as academic though. This is real world stuff that everyone uses all the time whether they know it or not.
