I simply won't spend on Magic Online since I can't exit. In addition, why should I spend hundreds of dollars on something whose value can plunge drastically?

If you have actual physical cards, you can sell them. Powerful modern cards hold their value reasonably well.

Aaaand looks like the keyboard actually made it to market, there's even one on ebay. I had no idea.

I'd much rather go that way than write code that reads less like a human wrote it.

   $ cat test2.c
   int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
       if (argc = 0)
           return 1;
       return 0;
   }
   $ make test
   cc -Wall -ansi -pedantic    test.c   -o test

  huh@px:/tmp$ cat a.c
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
         if (argc = 0)
             return 1;
         return 0;
     }
  huh@px:/tmp$ gcc -Wall a.c
  a.c: In function 'main':
  a.c:2: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value

But this is a such commonly-recognized pitfall that I actually don't know a single modern production compiler that does not generate this warning.

(edit) Just checked 4.7.1 and it generates the warning.

I will now go and hit myself with a LART for a bit to remember not to do that again.

There are two different ways to catch this class of bug. Both have value.
