Baldy-the answer is EMBEDDED CHIPS/SYSTEMS! A lot of us never thought codes would be the prime problem! EMBEDDED next year will be referred to in hushed tones as "the E word"! The word you never say about old people, young children, or anyone on heart medication. Uttering 'E' will not be tolerated in polite society. It will be outlawed in govt buildings, restaurants, and hotels.

You will only legally be able to speak it while alone. Anyone reporting you for saying it will earn a bounty of $5,000.

Certain exceptions will be made under law, like for the coming impounded corp of engineers, but they will be required to carry an 'E' permit card, and show it to any officials who overhear them saying it!

First, there was WW1,

then, WW2,

then, the final war, WWE.
