Because that what your implying by saying that >programmers shouldnt charge for there work, or have a say in what >happens to their creations?!?! Could you please explain where I said anything about programmers not being payed? I explicitly stated that I wasn't buying into that argument earlier in what you have responded to. What I am saying is that programmers aren't necessarily the people best qualified to speak on moral or political issues. Likewise, I wouldn't think someone with a philosophy degree is best qualified to be creating software. Please read what is being said before flaming a viewpoint which has not even been expressed in the article you are replying to. -- - Thandor, of Donuts Inc: Through emulation of Homer Simpson we shall attain perfection.
