in reply to Gods of perl

What i meant to say with this node is just that for someone (or something) we aren't useless and we are a sort of god of what at the moment is in front of us or on our knees.

English isn't a boolean language.

There's a vast continuum between being utterly powerless (or "useless") as you put it, and being completely omipotent (as gods are purported to be). Humans are somewhere in between.

Most perl programmers are humans. Tom Christiansen is the only AI I know of that programs perl. :-)

    Gods in general are not purported to be omnipotent, maybe you are confused by the monotheistic stupidity rampant in our society. Apollo wasn't omnipotent (he got beaten by Rocky) and nor was Thor.

      For the record, he also got killed by Ivan Drago :(
