Gosh. Shocking. A programmer is supposed to program if he wants a program to behave differently. When the heck has this world mutated from a place where uttering nonsense made it immediately happen, as if by magic? I can recall two times that has been the case before: - paradise. Ended presumably 6000 years ago, according to your local intelligent designer outlet. - dot-com era, unfortunately only for funding ideas, not so much developing or even successfully deploying them. Ended 2001. Obviously historians have to consider a third period: the golden times of Illias wishful thinking reign, a collectively unnoticed time which only records could be found if brain scanning was more developed in just one brain in the world.
