Algebra and Software Programming - what are the chances a person can make a living as a programmer if that person is not good at algebra?

Zero.
Might be able to fake it if they have a good enough development environment.
It's possible, the mental skills overlap is not that strong.
Flash(tm)!
They would probably end up being the person who hires other people to program.

Coupon Hacker Faces DMCA Lawsuit the wired
Link #132049 submitted by pneum0nic on Aug 21, 2007 08:04pm.   (+260XP)

John Stottlemire is the DVD Jon of coupon-clipping and it s getting him in trouble. The California man is on the working end of a federal copyright lawsuit after posting code and instructions that allow shoppers to circumvent copy protection on downloadable printable coupons -- the type used by General Foods, Colgate, Disney and others to sell everything from soap to breakfast cereal.  
 
The coupons are distributed by Mountain View California-based Coupons Inc. through ad banners e-mail and its website coupons.com. To use them consumers must install Coupons Inc.'s proprietary software. The software assigns each user's computer a unique identifier which the company uses to track and control the consumer s coupon-printing practices, usually limiting each user to two coupons per product. Each printed coupon has its own unique serial code.  
 
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose California last month Coupons Inc. accuses Stottlemire of creating and giving away a program that erases the unique identifier allowing consumers to repeatedly download and print as many copies of a particular coupon as they want.  
 
The lawsuit also charges Stottlemire with posting tutorials on bargain-swapping sites DealIdeal.com and thecouponqueen.net on how to manually defeat the print limit which the complaint alleges "would allow users of that software to print an unlimited number of coupons from the coupons.com website."
