Arthur blinked at the screens and felt he was missing something important. Suddenly he realised what it was.
“Is there any tea on this spaceship?” he asked.

but we are also remarkable on our diclination to learn from our mistakes
great things a great man said
I suppose it’s fair to say that as our intelligence has increased, it has given us not only greater power, but also an understanding of the consequences of using that power. It has given us the ability to control our environment, but also the ability to control ourselves.
- Zaphod Beeblebrox: Er, man, like what's your name?
- Man (Ruler of the Universe): I don't know. Why, do you think I ought to have one? It seems odd to give a bundle of vague sensory perceptions a name.
Becoming suspicious that Microsoft is really just a branch of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation…
They’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
luckypumpkin asked: I just read "Create, share, and enjoy your media" on the Windows website. Do you think that this presents evidence that Microsoft may really just be a branch of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? There's a screen cap on my blog, but your ask box doesn't like links.
It could indeed. The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation seems to be getting their hands into a lot of Earth advertising.
There was another Hitchhiker’s Guide reference in this week’s Doctor Who. The woman reporting to the commander that her device is broken says it is a sub-etha device, just like the Thumb. I think there has been at least one reference per episode this season.
wait what how did I not catch that???
What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your own mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that’s really the essence of programming. By the time you’ve sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you’ve certainly learned something about it yourself. The teacher usually learns more than the pupil. Isn’t that true?
