DCoder on the trials and tribulations of assembly:

<DCoder> for example - I spent fifteen minutes reading a single function (fourty or fifty lines of asm code)
<DCoder> just to find out that all it did was case-insensitive strcmp

Comment: Note by DCoder: I used OllyDbg at the time, which does not have ways to recognize standard functions like IDA does - the function *is* strnicmp
