So? It's worthless almost every single time. I could instead spend a little more time actually doing something with a bigger chance of actually being paid attention to, like writing an e-mail for instance, and actually feel like I did something.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
