__volatile__ __asm__

volatile is a C keyword, and programmers know better than using asm as an identifier. Why do people insist on using double underscores around them, especially Linux kernel developers?

Also, why do people use things like __attribute__((aligned(n))) instead of defining a macro ALIGNED(n)?

Has this idiot even written one noteable piece of software? I guess when I think of real hackers, I think of people like JWZ. Aka the person that helped write the early Unix versions of netscape, xemacs, screensavers, etc.
