Why don't I believe DCLK...? Why should Anyone...!? That's too Funny...! [as if DCLK can Un-Ring the "We intend to profit on your illusion of Privacy" Bell!?/!] The infamous SecretSource on creating an Internet-available relational database of public data derived from esuckers... "For the sheer joy of programming!" she cries triumphantly. "The joy of the parent, the artist, the craftsman. "You take a program, born weak and impotent as a dimly-realized solution. You nurture the program and guide it down the right path, building, watching it grow ever stronger. Sometimes you paint with tiny strokes, a keystroke added here, a keystroke changed there." She sweeps her arm in a wide arc. "And other times you savage whole blocks of code, ripping out the program's very essence, then beginning anew. But always building, creating, filling the program with your own personal stamp, your own quirks and nuances. Watching the program grow stronger, patching it when it crashes, until finally it can stand alone -- proud, powerful, and perfect. This is the programmer's finest hour! This ... this is your canvas! your clay! Go forth and create a masterwork!" From die.net
