This is insane; my computer is misbehaving... It goes off at the most interesting of times.
After 8 years of studying whatever there is to study on computer behaviour, I still have this irritating suspicion that computers mock us. Contrary to scientific logic my guts tell me: Computers are not governed by determinism;
I have come to believe, they are governed by an Imp! An Imp that if it senses the slightest misdemeanour from the user will actively and purposively try to escalate it to a near break down. A typical method employed is the "funny" method. It goes like that:
I have come to believe, they are governed by an Imp! An Imp that if it senses the slightest misdemeanour from the user will actively and purposively try to escalate it to a near break down. A typical method employed is the "funny" method. It goes like that:
The user after an exhaustive exercise with the keyboard cames into realization of... "Oops I forgot to save it" and then another brain process goes... "Now if that happens again that will be funny". "that" refering to the last incident when the user forgot to save his work, and since I came to believe Imps to have a sense of humour -albeit not your sense of it- the "funny" thing happens, and it happens over and over and over again in a seemingly random fashion.
The typical user never realizes that he is like a puppet -driven to some sort of realization of some uncertainty principle- , because he never heard of determinism so as to extrapolate the existence of the Imp.
Oh yes the Imp is cautious, it never throws out errors that could betray its existence... It senses the specialist and adapts so that errors never appear paradoxial, merely random. In effect fooling everyone into believing that for every error there is a very rational explanation, and so secreting its existence.
What are the motives of the imp I cannot say... maybe it feeds of frustration? or maybe it punishes it in a twisted feedback manner.
My only advice to all you victims of computers is:
Positive thinking, you have to anticipate, expect the positive outcome in order for it to occur.

Computer systems are as deterministic as nature is. Their electronics infrastructure would not have allowed it to be otherwise since they are composed of physical elements. Apart from that, the guide makes clear statements about infinite improbability so don't let those scientists trying to impose determinism confuse you because they weren't invited to those kind of parties!
you think every time the Heart of Gold makes a trip, a bug pops up somewhere?
