“A
man wanted to know about mind, not in nature, but in his private, large
computer. He asked it ( no doubt in his best Fortran), ‘Do you compute that
you will ever think like a human being?’ The machine then set to work to
analyze its own computational habits. Finally, the machine printed its
answer on a piece of paper, as such machines do. The man ran to get the
answer and found, neatly typed , the words: THAT REMINDS ME OF A STORY” |

Gordon Moore made his famous observation in 1965, just four years after
the first planar integrated circuit was discovered. The press called it
"Moore's Law" and the name has stuck. Moore predicted that the
number of transistors per integrated circuit would double every 18 months.
He forecast that this trend would continue through 1975. Moore's Law has
been maintained for far longer, and still holds true as we enter the new
century. |

The essential feature of Microsoft Shared
Delusional Disorder(MSDD) is an unquestioning belief that Microsoft knows
what is best for you. These symptoms must persist for at least one upgrade
cycle, or at least persist after experiencing 3 system crashes per day for
three consecutive days. A diagnosis of MSDD is not given to an individual
who would prefer to use OS/2 or a Mac, but who is being forced to
experience the same misery as his deluded work collegues. Visual
hallucinations, if present, are transient, and are usually confined to the
Windows 95 tutorial, or to glimpses of "where do you want to go to
today?" advertisements. |
|
Auditory hallucinations can be more persistent,
and can be as frightening as Microsoft promotional music, or as intrusively
inane as Microsoft Sound Schemes. Auditory and visual hallucinations are
usually mood congruent and consistent with the core delusional themes of
"Bill Gates knows what I want so that I don't have to think for
myself", and "mediocrity is everything and all I deserve". |
|
The delusions are not due to the direct
physiologic effects of a substance such as Jolt Cola, although that is
believed to make life a little more bearable. |
|
Although the distinction of whether this
delusion is considered to be bizarre is helpful in confirming the
diagnosis, it is not essential. Furthermore it can really only be made by
non-Microsoft users, who almost universally agree that this delusional them
IS bizarre. |
