The point is that you can never turn an executable into source code. This fact made matters worse for the Year-2000 problem. People made a mistake in software, which is bad enough on itself, but in many cases the programs were written so long ago that the source code got lost so that the error couldn't be corrected. Gee, I'm getting hungry. I needed this whole story to tell you that I was looking through some source code that was written by someone else in my group and found some comments that I thought were funny.
Comments are part of the source code that are only for human consumption.
I rest my case. I am NOT writing programs that try to stop DoS attacks. It's just NOT true. If you don't get it after reading part 3, then forget it. You have no humor.
