I love how a few self-appointed guardians of hackerhood are able to declare certain resources as haram, even when they propose a plausible answer to a question that went unanswered more than once in the thread. Instead of embarking on a discussion that leaves us all a bit better informed, the literal messenger is attacked. Does that gratify intellectual curiosity? Really?
