Cue the Arthur C. Clark quote:

  “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable 
   from magic.”


That's Clarke's Third Law. I'm fond of the First Corollary to Clarke's First Law (allegedly first mentioned by Benford):

    "Any technology which is distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
There's work to be done, fellow hackers, so let's get to it. ;)


Can't edit my comment, and no one will care at this date, but...

s/First Law/Third Law/

Obviously the quote I posted is the corollary to the quote negativity posted. Derp derp derp.


I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.
