automagically

Extremely annoying word computer nerds use to describe things software does by itself and with no exception would be far better replaced with the word 'automatically'.

The system will automagically create the next user id number for you.

automagically

Correction of my own entry below:

Pointless and pretentious word used to add no meaning at all to normal english sentences pertaining to the kind of automated proceedure computers were designed to do right from the very beginning of their invention. Almost every sentence in which this word appears can be improved upon by removing it.

"Sign in check-box automagically for 2 weeks", from bebo's sign in page.
"Palette Generator: Automagically create a harmonious color palette from a photograph", from Big Huge Labs page.

Actually C is a better language than C++. It is the fastest compiler language and it is slick in design. C++ is a shoddy attempt to retrofit C with the OOPS capabilities of Smalltalk. A task which it fails to achieve.

Don't worry Barnzey. C++ is as good an idea as trying to convert a nice wooden shed into a greenhouse, without losing the wooden shed.

Anybody who believes that learning to understand and relate correctly to their environment has more meaning than getting drunk and laid and watching reality TV.

If you're persecuted by people dumber than you are, or you struggle to relate to people because you can't get into the usual routine of sex, bitching and the latest buzz, you are a nerd. Own it. The latest music will be old news by the end of next month. Science is here to stay! Don't resent yourself for being smarter than other people, for being Martin out of the Simpsons. He's the only one who actually knows how to enjoy himself without regretting it later.
