Has anyone else notice that most spammers use windows and leave their port 139 wide open? I have great fun deleting their files and sending them a good old smbnuke.
Open Source is about contributing to an open effort. The best most acheivable result is always obtained if everything works well, and everyone is able to contribute to the level that they are able to.
If this effort is not good enough, other Open Source developers may better the effort, and so on and so on... it can be very competetive for the developers to better their work.
As open source projects progress, sometimes in complexity, only pros are able to comprehend and benefit the projects.
Weenies are very important in that they inspire, and sometimes begin projects, and in doing so become pros themselves, or rely on existing pros to finish their Open Source projects to stages where they are usable by the public.
A pro I beleive just needs experience in their own field of knowledge or application... you go from their.. and so a very experienced weenie can mature with knowledge.
Work done on Open Source projects in the hours of other employers is not wasted, it is very beneficial.
Open Source code is usually pretty good, or at least understandable with experience in decrypting the 'Overly Documented and Overly abstracted Developer's' Open Source code.
An employee doing external Open Source development at work learns new directions to take and gets honing of skills in areas that help trigger results in your real programming job.
Employees then refer to this Open Source freely available code in their everyday work for their employers, and the circle continues.
