Pblblblblt! > Igor --- --- originally it was "designed to be a perfect human world were nobody suffered and everyone would be happy [one large 3-dimensional GUI where humans could just think of what they wanted and it would appear; no famine, no hunger, everyone having limitless wealth]. There was a disaster -- no one would accept the program, entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that human beings, as a species, define their reality through misery and SUFfering [; argumentationm, domination, inflicting those on each other]. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to...wake up from, which was why ~things~ were redesigned [over time] to this [what we have now], ...the peak of your civilization..." with ASCII text. I guess I should go back to 1 tty window/screen with green text now, so I can start getting used to it. -l (how long before some secret service looking types come knocking on my door for 'questioning'...) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
