Counter: This is what incrementally leads to voodoo Perl scripts that only the one magician who wrote it can read. Sure all those tools are great individually. But nobody else knows what they are, so maintaining it is impossible. In a trivi

This is dumb. Even if I admit a lot of these ads annoy me. Back in the day Google would just lower the ranking of sites with banner ads. That sort of makes sense. They're a worse result, so show them lower. Fine. We should still decide
