Well - I'll date myself and say that I remember working in machine and
assembly code, and I didn't find it any more challenging than any other
type of programming. Different, in some respects, but not more
difficult. Essentially the same task.<br>

that Download.com, Upload.com
code is written in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Russia</st1:country-region>
and their complete software department is located in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Russia</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

some real good code from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Russia</st1:country-region>,

and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
The American programmers are overpriced to the rest of the
world. Let’s remember, this is not Assembly or machine
language programming. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Let’s face
reality. Asterisk
and SER ROUTER do not require major complex programming. No one is
required to write and optimize compilers for special architectures when
using
Asterisk and SER. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">You do need
to understand the code that
