Why ever would you read Vogon poetry [1]? The only thing worse than
that are Azgothian and Terran poetry! For example, some nameless wretch

was coming up. :)

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
