What is a bit ironic is the increase in 'technical correctness' of the ACS and the simultaneous decrease in the fortunes of ArsDigita.
One would do well to remember what the 'incompetent hacks' at 'arse digita' achieved in the early days:
* built software that solved real world problems
* built it for organisations who could pay them money
* were payed more money than they spent building the software
So who's the smart ones?
