One more point regarding = and == (more flamage)

[Jody Hagins]

The discussion does not focus on whether or not you should always
test against 0, but that you SHOULD always include an explicit
test if using assignments.  This removes all ambiguity in the conditional
test.  That way, you ALWAYS know that the programmer didn't put '=' when
(s)he meant '=='
