    Which is why I hate the new breed of slashdot users.

    This was a home project - he did it because he wanted to, not because he needed to. Would you have preferred he watched survivor? Or that donald trump show? Maybe downloaded, so he could be spoonfed his entertainment.

    This is one of the few slashdot stories of the past few days that actually belongs here. In my opinion.

    Think about it for a minute.
