oh it's been done - you just haven't heard about it because the team of hackers didn't have 3 pr reps!

agreed. sure many times - If I had to put together a team today it would be

1 designer 1 developer

How about 1 rock star and 1 caterer?

how about one guy to keep telling jokes and bringing beer cans

No - this guy actually put together some code.

that hacker and more less costly hackers can be found in india and china lolz
