WTF

What is this shit in C that I can't reference a null pointer.  What if I really have something stored at 0x00000000?  Assfucks.

Ok, what if I have a POINTER at 0x00000000.  What if I really really need to use 0x00000000 to point to something, and cannot use anything else.  I mean, just because every CISC-style CPU automatically sets the Z-bit whenever it loads anything with all zeros, that means my freedom to use the first two memory locations of my computer is restricted?  Fucking communists.

At least if they made the null pointer 0xFFFFFFFF that only wastes one byte of RAM, not an entire word length.
