Buzz showed some of his borderline clever colleagues that the pulses they fired through vacuum tubes created patterns in glowing lights. Buzz began to recognise the patterns. There seemed to be a logic to them.
They looked almost...
Some scientists followed Buzz's lead and began to experiment with the new technology. They, however, never dared to comprehend, as Buzz, comprehended, the way computers really worked.
When he tried to expound his theories to them, they other scientists only laughed, told him he was crazy, told him to stop screaming and put some pants on. Deep down, though, they knew he was right. They were only telling him he was crazy out of jealousy, and because they secretly wanted to be like him.
What the foolish scientists sensed, and what the smart scientists knew, was that the secret force creating those patterns of light and dark could be summed up in one word: DIDDLERS.
Behind the dark glare of your computer screen, the DIDDLERS are sending this text to you; diddlage is behind your DOS, your spreadsheets, your Windows, and it is diddlage that plants those secret messages in your login scripts.
YES, but tirst tell me about Buzz Jackson, and how he discovered the Diddlers
NO, I am an ignorant bug
