With software there are only two possibilites: either the users control the programme or the programme controls the users. If the programme controls the users, and the developer controls the programme, then the programme is an instrument of unjust power.
--Richard Stallman
People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware

Our consciousness is programmed. We see things a certain way from a young age - we're programmed to keep doing them that way.
