Hmm. What's the oppostive of a citation?
Gordo:

But Gordo, these "rogue programs" were also designed, remember?
Programs have programmers etc etc.
So, Gordo, explain that! He's a bit of a shit this "designer" of yours, no?

EDIT: Even KF's post titles are overly verbose and break the links. Fuck it, it can stay like that as a testament to his windbaggery. |
That's a strange definition of 'self-replicating'. The virus synthesizes things external to itself to make more of itself. Are we not self replicating , as we don't make our own food / atmosphere / gravity etc? These are complex things that we are most surely 'hijacking'.
