Here is my program SNAKE.  All of my vampiric bombers kept taking
a beating from this new class of bombers that claim to bomb
the core at 150% of c.  But a decrement doesn't kill a program.
I designed all of the B-fields so that if any one is decremented,
the bombing routine keeps functioning.

I would really be interested in any other programs that use
this tactic.
