I’m no programmer, but I just created a file that does ‘special’ things with your file system. By the way, what is your email address? :p

That’s some recursive un-authorized programming right there.

Maybe Mike Acker is a runaway perl script from Tron?

I agree, and I want to know who authorized all the CSI:Miami re-runs.

Was this thread authorized?

And why isn’t this breaking news?

“...And then the question comes to; who authorizes those who authorize?”

Answer: ‘THE AUTHORITATOR’

But Open Source is proving an effective development methodology as well as a good business model. Look at Google. Almost all Open Source, and their cost of doing business is a fraction of that of their competitors.

I concur that claiming “it can’t be done” is an admission of incompetence, indifference or dis-honesty [sic] IF AND ONLY IF it can, in fact, be done. But if it cannot be done, then it is not an admission of any of the cited choices. It is simply an acknowledgement that it can’t be done.

I think a better suggested reading would be Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is more timely, even though it was published in 1957. And a better economic primer, as well.

Thank you for such an insightful and thoughtful thread.
