Listen, Doofus...classical AI ***DOESN'T WORK****.
Heuristic methods don't work reliably enough to configure your machine for you
...if they did work, they would be ALGORITHMS.
Now....why don't you quit making a foold of yourself and go take about
80 credit hours of computer science and computer systems engineering.

As I said, I played it only once. If a club existed anywhere in that state
(or any other), I'm unaware of it. Cricket is quite uncommon here. I was
introduced to it by Aussie and Indian friends in college. My bowling was the
subject of great amusement. My batting equally so. If I hadn't been raised
pitching overhand and batting with Louisville Sluggers, things might have
been different <g>. All in all, I found it boring because of the pace. The
same complaint I have with baseball.
If I had to take my pick of European sports, Rugby and Soccer would be the
ones. Especially rugby! I think, if it were pushed hard enough, it could
actually catch on over here.Well, maybe not. Too many wimps, safety freaks
and over-protective parents round here for that to happen.
Baseball isn't the same sport it used to be when I was a kid. The game went
downhill the minute they started paying them millions of dollars a year. It
turned them into color-coordinated prima-donnas instead of athletes. I
stopped watching it years ago (early 1980s).

Translation: there is NO SUBSTITUTE for knowing what the fuck you're doing.
If you don't have the necessary knowledge to evaluage whether the
AI's suggestions are proper or not, then you're merely placing
blind trust in the AI system....
The *ONLY* AI systems that have demonstrated even minimal success
are neural networks....which are absolutely inappropriate for
evaluating free-form text like config files.

If you want more...just buy some SEALED lead-acid batteries, crack-open
your UPS (make SURE you never touch the capacitor unless you like the
smell of burnt skin), and wire the batteries IN PARALLEL with the
battery in the UPS. Your endurance will be roughly proportional to
the total volume of all batteries.

Clue for the fucking clueless. Word Perfect was ported to SCO Unix over
a DECADE ago. To port the SCO version to Linux is trivial.
Hope that helps, dumbass.
