   SJ was wrong (about London) and his paraphraser (LD'O) is wrong about   
   both building from source AND life :-)   
      
   SJ:

   However; I do think that 'in the course of events' one should at least   
   once, compile something; just like one should ride a ferris wheel at   
   least once.   
      
   My spell checker alerts me; I should give proper credit to George   
   Ferris; Ferris wheel.   
      
   I once compiled something and it worked out perfectly; so there.   
      
   That doesn't mean that one should expect that result.
