> "Knowing how things work" is a stone-age attitude.

Should we petition to rename this site to "Stone Age News" or something then?

Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought figuring out how things work was pretty core to the Hacker mentality.

If being a Luddite means I'm the only one who cares to understand anything, I'll accept the label gladly.

You: I think it’s good to understand some things.

This guy: If you don’t understand everything then you might as well not understand anything!

Guys like this are a corporation’s wet dream. Total intellectual dependence.
