Famous at last, though not in the best way

[Mike Kerner]

Decompiling does not result in original source code.  As it is, the kiddies
can just copy/paste.  The dump that Kaspersky included, even had a line
that was commented out.

Think about it - if you have the Pro version, yeah, your source is
encrypted, until it's decrypted when the app is loaded.  Then it's just
sitting there for someone to take.  I avoided doing this with MG when John
went AWOL, but there is nothing that would have stopped someone with no
scruples from doing it themselves.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
