Math You Can't Use, Ch. 6 ~ by Ben Klemens (Groklaw)

Groklaw has an excerpt from Math You Can't Use, a book on copyrights, patents and software. "The world of software engineering is in no way restricted to software companies. Beyond Microsoft or thousands of smaller software vendors, almost every corporation in the world keeps a stable of programmers in the basement to write little scripts that move the company's e-mail and make the "add to cart" button do what it should. I am a programmer because I write simulations and statistical analyses. Even you are a software programmer if you use the Record Macro feature of your spreadsheet or word processor."
