 | Paul has definite game:
I've been thinking about integrity. It's too easy for someone like me to assume a false integrity complex, based on what I do and what I use to do it; I'm a programmer, hence infinitely better and more useful than any gaggle of bullshitting salesmen and marketing wankers. What's more, I use the geek's favourite, Linux, which in itself is wrapped up with layers and layers of self-worth and superiority over other operating systems. The point is, it's too easy for me to lapse into assuming I have integrity, when perhaps I don't, because there's so many other things wrong with me.
Paul, I love you dearly, man, you're my brother, but let's not write off what you do as a source of your absence of integrity just yet. Complinet, and I quote, "is a leading supplier of premium information services for the financial services and technology sectors. The products are available to subscribers only, although free trials are available".
Keep it real.
Not exactly a leper colony, now, is it? Except possibly socially.
Everybody's dirty. And a working knowledge, even a detailed knowledge, of an open-source programming language is not going to change that.
Did I mention that I fucking hate puppies, as well?
