h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

aha! University computer network

Its no wonder that monkeys are editing this and writing Danish tragedies whens tomorrows academics are replying to inane drivel rather than revising
(Michael Johns, Head of Science Faculty Magdalin College, Oxford)

oooh - that's my wrists slapped

Anyway, at least this drivel writing keeps my mind of doing such things as hacking Janet, etc

(speaking of whom, what is a proxy cascade failure, and why is she having them today, is it her time of the month, or sommit?)

and anyway, why are you using h2g2 at all if you object to people writing

Because typing is not writing according to many people.
these are the people who get annoyed if you email them rather than sending a letter
they are the people with little conception of the time or financial problems of a student

Worry not, citizen. The thought police are on the way. Order will be restored in time for the two minute hate.

B.B.

hey i'm watching you
although i'm actually Big Sister (politically correct) and i don't think you hated enough.
do it again.
or i'll put you in room 101
i think this forum has moved on to another book

interestingly enough, I lived in room 201 last year (one floor up...) oh the sounds I heard

I'm sure they would have sounded much worse if you'd been in room 100 or 102.
Why is it that while some hotels don't have a floor numbered 13, they still put in Room 101?
I would have thought that was scarier

Like everyone else, I too wonder what's going on here. I've had the silent treatment on what I thought was a reasonable article for three weeks now. Have the Editors simply not anticipated the numbers? And where do they live? There doesn't seem to be any way of contacting them. What would be nice would be if you could submit a copy of your article to Them so that it's still available to be in a forum. Instead it feels as if I've peed in the ocean.

OK, now I'm fed up...its been 4 weeks with no reply...not even a nice little rejection letter! Pissing in the ocean is right on!

chat latter.

wsfn

I still have no rejection letter.
And it would just make my Birthday.
Editors you've got 15 hours left

I got another rejection this morning (vending machines )

they missed my deadline
what can I do to make them pay?
I will write them an amazing article that they cannot possibly reject.
sometime

Why not write one about h2g2 editors?

That is an extremely good idea.
Coming right up this weekend when the line is cheap, as long as it's not busy.
I am officially patenting the right to write an article on the h2g2 editors.
(but I may send you some royalties)

OK, but don't go with "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes", maybe something more like "a bunch of mindless jerks who get off on leaving everyone hanging for five weeks and are too busy surfing the porn sites to do their work" ... you know I was going to write an artical on swearing under the heading "things we'd like to say to the editors" but it was way too obscene (and I don't even know what Belgium means).

Belgium means whatever really bad thing you want it to mean.
and its worse than ****, **** etc

Editors page now up.
And no mention of Belgium or mindless jerks hitting walls

Just gently derogatory
