take luck

like 'good luck' crossed with 'take care'

A friend is leaving, and you can't make up your mind between saying take care and good luck, so you say "take luck!"

Kropotkin

A leading anarchist theorist in the nineteenth century, author of classics such as "Mutual Aid", "Factories, Fields and Workshops" and "The State: Its Historic Role". Most of his works are out of copyright and are available online at the Anarchy Archives at dward.pitzer.au.

Kropotkin was an anthropologist by profession, and this is shown by frequent references to this science in his work. "Mutual Aid" is in large part an attempt to rebut Darwinist arguments for the necessity of individualist egoistic action by demonstrating that mutually supportive, cooperative and altruistic actions are common among animals and in human societies. Kropotkin seemed to think that cooperation is part of human nature, so pervasive it is across different cultures and so resilient it is to attacks by the state.

He viewed the state as a force of atomisation because of its tendency to persecute specific associations. He saw it operating in an imperialistic way, colonising everyday life from above and outside and counterposing itself to the force of society and sociability as an everyday factor. The state is based on violence and control, and hierarchic forms and unnatural and oppressive. The state should therefore be overthrown or overcome, and replaced with social relations based on mutual voluntary cooperation in a series of federated associations.

His thought is best located within anarcho-communism. Although dated in some respects, it still holds up as a critique of sociobiology and of theories of the necessity of state power.

I don't know how it could come to mean "a stupid person" - I assume this is a Slavophobe appropriation of this rather amusing-sounding Russian name.

Kropotkin's Mutual Aid is a classic text of anarchist theory.

Anti-capitalist groups often unknowingly adopt a model of organisation similar to Kropotkin's, favouring small-scale voluntary groups which come together into larger federations for purposes of mutual support.

Help Desk

A group of people in a department that have to deal with all the IT problems within an company or organzation. These problems are dealing with dumb asses users 99% of the time.
The helpdesk is the first and last people you deal with from the IT department.

Humm... It says press any key, I don't see the ANY key.
I think we need to call the helpdesk. Then the helpdesk employee shoots himself.

Conenab

In the Spectrum game "Down to Earth", the Conenabs are cute little cyclops plant things which grow in clusters, multiply like randy maths teachers and explode when they get too numerous. Quite handy because the nasty aliens you're trying to kill sometimes hit them and blow up.

Oh bloody hell, there's another alien after me and I've only got two frigging lives left, there's some conenabs over there, I'm going to head for those. Oh shit, they've blown up and killed me.
