Ok, so you took the quote and arbitrarily changed the context and details, but I'm having trouble understanding what your point is. Were you calling this catalog useless via satire? Or were you just making a random joke for no reason? If it's the former, then can you please elaborate on why you think it's useless?

Not sure about crack, but giving small babies large quantities of morphine is very common.^[1][2]

Of course, this is possibly about as tenuous a point as whatever is being suggested above having anything to do with compatibility databases!

Aha, and the articles say that it's not a solution. Does this mean binary blob drivers are bad? :-)
