Those who have ever had such a problem, try new model of master which
sports generational garbage collection. I have read they can do it in
a blink nowadays, without anybody noticing anything, unless they were
looking very carefully for signs.

  A Java programmer asked the master whether computer had Buddha's
  nature.
  
  The master answered "Objects are existential distractions, take the
  Class in Lisp; it begins at"

  ...

  The student waited a pregnant pause, twitched his head left and
  right in a decidedly Southern Indian continental Indian manner and
  realised he ought be mindful of culturally appropriating Southern
  Indian continental Indian head twitching, promptly chastised
  himself for such superficial thoughts and realised she'd now been
  waiting at least TWO, very pregnant pauses and the master had still
  failed to finish HIS sentence!

  "But, bu.., but what's the end of your sentence?" she asked in a
  rising, somewhat high pitched voice ending almost in a screech.

[continuation expected in 3 .. 2 .. "OVER TO YOU!" boomed a
 thunderous voice from on high. "Grab that semaphore and TYPE, fool!"
 'How odd' thought the SystemgoD, 'I feel so compelled to pronounce
 that I just love it when a plan9 comes together', scratched his Init
 head and finally thought 'oh well, perhaps these earthlings will
 understand ... divine inspiration and all yo!'

I think it's a bit too late for me to start using consistent
spelling, and my grammar and style are fucked too, so at least
my english is consistently bad =)


...that said, I refer to the united states as "US" and not "us"
because "us" is also a pronoun and may look a bit confusing -
at least to me.

perhaps I should use "gringolandia" instead of "US"...

Maybe masters sometimes do the right thing, and if they seem not to,
this might still be for the pupil's good?

Perhaps it depends on master and his/her objectives. Does the master
care about pleasing the master or does the master care about following
the path? Is the path important enough to destroy work of poor
student? Should the poor student make proper backups? Can Buddha's
nature be restored from a backup? Can it be stored there first? Which
one tape has more Buddha on it, the one with backup of formatted drive
or the one that have been laid over degausser for a year?

Whoa! Pretty harsh treatment from the master there, at least he
included the "-i" flag, maybe say no to a few files... although, I
think the "-f" is gonna take precedence. In any case, I'd find a

If you do not mind, it could be nice to write names of countries in
consistent manner. Either as "US", "Russia", "Finland" and "Poland" -
or as "us", "russia", "finland" and "poland".

haha - funny. Well, not really. You present a false choice, 
assuming one has to choose between garbage from the US
military, or nothing. 

Also, I always wondered at a woman from poland being a
'security expert'. Now that I see she's just another corrupt
ashole with direct ties to the tor mafia and the US military
nazis it makes a lot more sense. 

I'd also speculate that being based on poland has something to
do with NATO...

Real programmers of course would never stoop so low as to use BASIC,

I, for one, run an OS that I wrote myself in TI-BASIC, on hardware salvaged
from the Soviet space program.  Those fiendish alphabet soup nazis will
never get their greedy little mits on *my* stash of top-secret hamburger
recipes!

Homogeneity of targets, makes for easier 0-day 0wnage of said
targets, when one such target becomes of particular interest.
