lolz, Douglas you were so awesome.

[pjthompson]

He was, wasn't he?

I think that just nicely summed up the story of my week.

[pjthompson]

Indeed, it seems so.

[frigg.livejournal.com]

I can so relate to that! :p

[pjthompson]

Yep.

Where was Mr. Adams when a certain software company was trying to invent an operating system that would completely eliminate the need for intelligence in users? ;)

[pjthompson]

lol--oh, things like that just make me shudder.

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

ok, I guess "eliminate" isn't fair -- maybe "compensate for lack of intelligence in users, presuming that all users would prefer to lack intelligence and thus would prefer such an operating system"?

hmm.

Too wordy.

[pjthompson]

and they thereby insulted the intelligence of most of their users...
