> It's a bit sad that our initial expectation, that software would be like mathematics, where you can keep building on previous results no matter if they were from last year or last millennia, didn't work out.

If you think that, you haven't seen some of my dependencies.



Depraved degenerated decadent debouched and dangling dependencies. Cthullus madness has nothing on this. It may be co-dependent on its future self. Barock pipes, going allthrough the project, knowing no boundaries when it comes to language, platform and versioning. Laakon in cables, these spaghettis of missery, create work from 5 minutes safed work, to build the best problem-accelerator there ever was, flooding it all with exotic particles on collission. Dependencies you can depend on, like a druggy on his dealer. A spider, excreeting web, made from nutrients, it extracted from itself - which it caught in the web. To be aware of them, is to become aware of mortality, as time decays everything away, even this gordian knot, whos fraying leather belts, whip those who untangle it. God may be all powerfull, but his ability to strike us down, for that unholy abomination of a universal dependcy, implies the universal simulator not having found all modules. It still runs, but once stop it shall never rebuild. Scratch your chin and mumble: "It depends.." cause in the deep ends - it always does.

PS: I got carried away, thinking about my own, sorry.
