Un-authorized programming must come to an end.

To argue that "it can't be done" or "it's not cost-effective" is to concede either (a) incompetence, or (b) indifference, or (c) dis-honesty

"It" = Creating a meaningful FR thread.

Zman, if I lived in a Super Tuesday state I very well might have voted for you as well.

[SubMareener]

But a really good content-free post must have a catchy title!

Last time it was a call for control of the internet.

I’ve ping’d four other of today’s best vanity posters to this thread in order to create an anti-matter collision and perhaps destroy the world as we don’t know it.

Authorized programming needs to be checked carefully to ensure that those who authorize it are truly authorized to do so. And then the question comes to; who authorizes those who authorize?

[steveo]

Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should be done. I’m done.

Excellent! We must get to the bottom of this.

All your unauthorized programming are belong to me. :)

[Political Junkie Too]

Okay, I hereby authorize you. Now go forth and program.

Dude, most of us wait to a couple of hours before the Super Bowl to do the heavy drinking.

[callisto]

Guilty as charged. But I did have a catchy title! A “bit dramatic” I concede. Thanks for the ping. Got to run for a few, but will return later.

I am the architect or is it the gate keeper - never can remember that.

Here’s a band-aid. Hope it helps.

[Snickering Hound]

What you talking about?

[devere]

That’s OK, but we need change!

"Houston, we have a problem."

[LibFreeOrDie]

You’re waiting for the Super Bowl to start, you’re already drinking, you’re bored, so you decided to share this deep thought? We can’t thank you enough!

Here's Mike Acker posting to Mike Acker. Maybe there is a clue here

I see a lot of yelling and screaming in the replies

But the Net is in serious trouble and unless we clean it up we will not be able to use it for any commercial purposes

It isn't necessary to censor the net to clean it up. all that is necessary is to delete from the software the capabilities that facilitate hacking, in particular the distribution of un-authorized programming

Lazamataz has been teaching me to post without reading vanities for 25 years.

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

[KoRn]

I recall that recent posting. LOL

[sam_paine]

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

Maybe Mike Acker is a runaway perl script from Tron?

[Nick Danger]

Un-authorized programming must come to an end.

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?

[JasonC]

Authors.

That was too easy...
