That's a dangerous road to go down. There are alot of non-functioning brains out here in Slashdot.
Hell, I'm at work...mine's only running at 2% capacity.
They named the site after an inside joke about a giant "brain in a jar" that runs development.
Who the hell in Marketing thought that was a good idea?
We could always sterilize them and any dependent children they may have. It would be a good first step to cleaning up the pool.
