Learn to program and join us :P! Unless you're already a programmer, in which case... It's interesting to me how words in a text file can yield so much power over the world. The stock market rises and falls on words written by a programmer, nuclear programs spiral into disrepair from words written by a programmer, World War III occurs from words written by a programmer. I mean, it's almost like telepathy. A programmer just needs to think of it, and given time and a sufficient amount of code, it happens. Thoughts affecting things that major, it's impressing, at least to me.
