War is good - drives the economy ;-). See if we shan't have one soon.

Good. That is the idea. Fuck JQU, (s)he is not worth the effort, anyway.
The sooner we get back to the old priesthood computing model, the better.

You want to _USE_ the computer. You are not part of the priesthood - get
out of my terminal room post-haste. Computers are not the means - they are
the ends. Serve the computer, friend citizen, the computer is your friend.

Yes. Experts. Us. All seventeen of us, give or take.

It should not be so hard. It should be MILES harder.
Go away - you're a troll.
