Actually, they are very easy to understand (especially the ones working in
USA): Let them think $$$ and they go berserk. (Not like a perl programmer
who thinks about such lovely things as variables, derefs and eol when
seeing a single dollar...)

Okay, now seriously: even if they would sell your grandma for half a buck,
those types have to be silenced. They can be such a PITA (see SCO vs.
everybody else; they just don't shut up). Maybe we should ask groklaw?
