It´s doesn´t matter if it is the next BIG HIT Ultra-fast-next-google
thing or a programm to take control of my "pet-people-living-in-
welfare-trying-to-be-political"
It´s a technical question, If you can´t answer it ok, I will not
suppose that you are it or that, it´s not a personal question or
matter.

Again, you don´t have to believe, suppose or think anything about me,
are you capable to make any contribution? Technical one? Are you
sooooooo good and "serious" programmer that you did not develop your
personal skills, and thinks that winning an argument in internet is
the best thing in the world?

Thanks all,
