i can throw more if you want, but thats besides the piont

albert writes a program (call it "program X"), you think its a good program, you write your own version of it, with some slightly different funtions
billy wants you to write a program like "program X". to save some time and effort, you reverse engineering "program X" to see how it works, then re-implment it.
any clearer?

bear in mind your the one using vulgar swear words, and you say I dont care about the use of words. can you not argue, or do you just not like me? if your too narrow minded to see other peoples opinons, and try to understand them, without resoting to insults, then maybe you shouldnt be here?
