A. Supplicant > > > And in response, thus spake the Oracle: } I am reminded of a koan. } } Once a supplicant sent the Oracle a DOS .BAT file that, when executed, } displayed the question : "Did I have spent too much time on DOS } programming ?". The Oracle replied "Yes, of course". } } Some time later, the supplicant sent the Oracle a C program that, } when compiled, debugged, recompiled and executed, displayed the } question : "Did I have spent too much time on C programming ?". } The Oracle replied "YES, of course". } } Months later, the supplicant sent the Oracle a Visual Algol program } that, when compiled, displayed the question : "Did I have spent too } much time on Visual Algol programming ?". The Oracle replied } "YES, OF COURSE, FOR MYSELF'S SAKE !!". } } And many years later, the supplicant sent the Oracle an HTML script } that, displayed the question : "Did I have spent too much time on } HTML programming ?". And the Oracle blasted him inmediatly with His } powerful ZOT gun. } } Should the supplicant have survived, at that moment he'd be enlightened. } } You owe the Oracle the life you can't get.
