motivation

Apropos of this awful translation, Dorothy said:
I don't understand: we're practically cloning humans, but we can't get a computer to translate properly. Somebody should really work on this.

I mean, we can get those things to do our taxes! We can have books come to our house, but we can't get it to translate 'host' properly?

Stop blogging me! this is going to turn into some kind of play. I know I have a play lurking in me that has to do with some computer guy....

"Great," I said. Boy, is that play going to be all about me.

I guess you'd better not tell her about the play Hackers from the mid-1980s, written by a Ph.D. student in a "prestigious New England University CS Department."

Nope, and you really shouldn't mention that I might just have a script for said play. Definitely a bad idea.
