Just frag it and be done with it.

I was similarly computerised in the seventies.
It's called a teasmade.
And if you travel in a fly-by-wire plane, you put your life in the hands of the computer.
So trusting your washing machine to a system is no big deal. Or feeding the dogs. Or cats. Or babies.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

There must have been choices, so I'm wondering why you picked that one... :hehe:

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Assume they used C# or C#¤%!{’}!? unless otherwise specified.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.
