I live in Germany, Europe. Please tell an uneducated man whether or not
this is a capitalistic society.
And please tell an uneducated man, what this has got to do with the technical
questions, whether a given program corrupts the stack, and whether this
is desirable.

Have you read a good program lately?
2. Re: Capitalism in Canada and elsewhere
I'm going to work and this is my last post on this subject, period. But the
answer to your question is...
If capitalism reigns and the answer to your "technical question" is that the
program doesn't work or doesn't work correctly, the programmer will have to
drop it, simply because of no demand. Many people learn by doing instead of
by being told things. (*is an educator*). A toddler is GOING to touch that
hot stove or hot heater, no matter how many times you tell them it will burn
them. But, after they touch it once, they will understand. If you are
correct, let him try it. If you are correct, he will see and he won't use
it anymore. If you aren't correct, then he definitely needs to try it.
Either way...how would you be harmed? (except maybe your pride, if you are
not correct...although even that shouldn't be much, because you did leave it
with the statement, "correct me, if I'm wrong".) Many new inventions were
made, using things that "wouldn't work". Take for example the helicopter.
On paper, it doesn't work. It can't fly. In reality, what would we do
without them?
