What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no
more than information before the senses, data fed to the
computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received
the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and
you shall become master of the output.
-- Chairman Sheng-ji Yang,

COMPUTER
An electronic device designed to make you rip your hair out. The
principles of a computer are very simple. You give the computer
some data as input, it messes, mixes, scrambles and screws up the
data until it is nonsensical and unrecognisable, and then it spits
it out the other end as output....
