Yes but the Bold Step of the programmer committed to Free Software is against all confidentiality and exclusiveness, to shake the very fabric of social norms.

Cool. Can you PayPal us the sum? We'll split it and use it wisely in the pursuit of the most noble of causes, the muse should not require payment. > We have decided that this transaction can only proceed > under the following condition: > > 1.

Dude. First it's 25% now 20%. I got another email the other day offering 30%, perhaps we need to move this to eBay. And you're so behind the times compared to your colleagues.

But if you send me a dollar I can guarantee your transport to a wicked part of Texass where former Nigerian officials are treated with the utmost senility.
