Darrel Green, Woodson etc.

Google makes life harder on the "shenanigan's" causers every fiscal quarter. However google tends to hire straight "math" guys & straight "programmers" to work with their algorithms, real super stars out of MIT & all the "poly techs", etc. They telegraph all their moves because they think like a fucking computer. Had they been invited to a few frat parties, done a few lines & maybe taken an art class they would be much better off.

It's not hard for a creative person who's quick on their feet to stay 1-2 steps ahead.

Now on to agreeing with you....
If you have "out of the box" scripts (that still "sorta" work now), forget about your income in 2010. You will see new ones come out every 3-6 months, but they will only last 60-90 days & are based on what amounts to exploits.

If you're lucky enough to have an employee/friend that's a pass intercepting superstar programmer....you'll be drinking beer at the victory party.

Fuck i love football symbolism.....come on & start the new season!
very well said and i never give compliments, so this is like a normal persons compliment x 10..

great analogy...
