The horror isn't in the slaughter (although it's not pretty, especially in some operations) — the horror is in the factory farming operations where the living, breathing, conscious animals are treated like machinery.
As to Einstein:
It is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.

Python has *always* been obviously better than PHP (or perl, etc.) But if you have no skills, you look for the easiest path: the goal is to get the project going.
If your expertise is Perl, climbing the Python learning curve, gentle as it may be, isn't attractive, and becomes less so as your available time to engage in such things narrows. And so your project $sucks @terribly $$ and looks like APL

They must of been told
What does it mean for a person to "of been" told something?
Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you simply unaware of the sad fact of the decline of the English language? (Also, consider that "eric umenhofer" sounds like a name for a non-native speaker - the 'net is international, after all, just like the Village.) What he probably meant was:
They must've been told that they [the client] had Access already and that it was all they could use.
For a simple data entry and maintenance application, I can throw something together in just an hour or two.
So Access is like HyperCard.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
