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 machine bigger than a workstation. Ack! They want PCs to be able to talk to the AI machine. Fear and loathing time!
