Rituals For Computer Operation
&¨&&¨&&¨&& ---------------------------------------- &¨&&&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& &¨¨&&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& The Computer Is A Very Common Tool In &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& The Futures, And In Some Ways Even Now. &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& Its Job Is To Do Vast Amounts Of Small &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Calculations In A Short Amount Of Time. &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Most Work On The Principles Of Posing &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& The Problem On A Hilbert Plane, Which &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Is Then Folded Out Of Causality, So &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& That Daemons Can Solve The Problem &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Without Affecting Real Life. (These &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& Daemons Are Under Contract With The &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Computer Manufacturer.) &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& It'S Commonplace For Programmers And &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& Clerks To Pray To The "Gods" Of Their &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Computer, Or To The Daemons Doing The &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& Work, For A Quick And Fault Free &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Operation. &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨&& &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨& Some Ubiquitous And Generally &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
