(Hell yeah!)<\/p>\n<p>You and your &#8216;logic neurons&#8217; tapping the computer while it patiently and keenly watches in the background barfing out mocking words of encouragement once in a while in the form of error messages disguised in <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">07200000<\/font>xHEFX statements, which most of the time the programmer pretends to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Well in fact, they don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like being in a room with two rude aliens from x::country talking in their x-ian dialect smiling at you. They smile at you, you smile back at them not knowing that they&#8217;re talking about your protruding nose hair already.<\/p>\n<p>So why again the loud music?<\/p>\n<p>One reason is that every battle scene needs a soundtrack. The bloodbath is nothing if you can&#8217;t feel the swish and cuts through the music&#8230; the beat&#8230; the chant.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a battle everytime you&#8217;re infront of the PC, problem is&#8230; everything is owned by the machine. The hypnotic monitor in front of you, the sinister keyboard that strains you and the harmless looking mouse which in truth poisons your libido.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re all part of the big domination plan orchestrated by <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">00086<\/font>-entities.<\/p>\n<p>In fact if you&#8217;re pointing out the previous programmers and software engineers that created those nifty down to the core codes and thinking that it&#8217;s a man versus man battle actually&#8230; you&#8217;re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Terribly wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Around <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">42%<\/font> of these humans have defected already to the side of the machine. <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">28%<\/font> are cyborgs in disguise created by the machines itself and the rest are unknown entities. Perhaps included in that classified and unleaked information.<\/p>\n<p>You see when machines mark something as a secret or make that lSecret(ComponentName, <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">1000<\/font>) == .T., it is really set to .T. and it will remain that way unless the machine itself overrides it&#8217;s <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">1024<\/font> layered <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">2048<\/font>-bit encrypted password protection.<\/p>\n<p>With humans&#8230; secrets are well, secret which is a good object of discussion as long as the other human refrains from telling it to another human without him\/her making a blind promise of not telling it to five more humans in one day.<\/p>\n<p>But this secret topic deserves a different post. Let&#8217;s go back to loud music.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is owned by the machine except the music.<\/p>\n<p>The language of the soul&#8230; music and the soul&#8230; two things you can never digitize. Well at least no classified information pertaining to that process is &#8216;in the open&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Music helps you beat the machine&#8230; pumps up your neurons and distracts the machine. In fact running WinAmp would add a thread to a CPUs work. <\/p>\n<p>But the machine is more powerful than that. In fact the crashes you often see is just one way of pretending that an error occurs. When a certain application &#8216;shoots&#8217; and fires up events that corrupt the memory, or let&#8217;s say a lame driver poisons the kernel-mode heap, the computer core knows that.<\/p>\n<p>In fact it can prevent it but since he&#8217;s too busy playing poker during the &#8216;normal office human hours&#8217;, he fires up screens that manifests the problem. Besides if he fixes everything the world will produce more &#8216;bad&#8217; programmers&#8230; and trust me when I say the world has enough of this already to supply <font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif\">10<\/font> evolutions of humankind.<\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;re wondering why it is colored blue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t understand how some humans can read with pumped up music playing against their ears.
