David- this is always a fun one to try. people fall into two categories immediately:
those who give a preset answer from the question and draw a blank at first when asked to think of a grey area, and those who hesitate to answer and want the conditions, or answer conditionally. in the latter it's fun to see what it shows about what's on a person's mind something tells me you're the latter.... -Josh David Nicol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/10/2005 01:35 PM To "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Jason Gerfen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] Subject Re: network matching -> regexp On 11/10/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > is it not better to teach a man to fish rather than giving him one? which > is more beneficial in the long run? In the case that you are an entrepreneur trying to market fish shop franchises, it is better to give fish away, as that will create a demand among people who are not in the habit of receiving fish from any source. By doing all the work for someone, you develop a lazy consumer of consulting products, bringing up the tide and floating the boats of all the consultants. somebody shoot me. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
