fear and loathing n. [from Hunter S. Thompson] A state
inspired by the prospect of dealing with certain real-world systems
and standards that are totally {brain-damaged} but ubiquitous
-- Intel 8086s, or {COBOL}, or {{EBCDIC}}, or any {IBM}

PCs to be able to talk to the AI machine. Fear and loathing
time!"
