As others have already noted[1], many well-known excellent programmers - including yourself! and now even Linus! - would beg to differ.

SPOT ON, let us all take inspiration. "The impacts of the technologies that already exist are already more than enough to concern us for now"!

Working with Andrew Lee on vp.net, who maliciously imploded Freenode some years ago. Birds of a feather...

This cannot last forever. What's the plan when it runs out?
