Fess: Well, you must admit there is something innately humorous about
      a man chasing an invention of his own halfway across the galaxy.
     Rod: Oh yeah, it's a million yuks, sure. But after all, isn't that the
      basic difference between robots and humans?
     Fess: What, the ability to form imaginary constructs?
     Rod: No, the ability to get hung up on them.

===============================================

(This section is by Richard Stallman.)

Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the
     rest. For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to
     seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and
     keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup
     and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I wouldn't
     know how to do that in Unix.)

However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual
     `su' mechanism, once someone learns the root password who sympathizes
     with the ordinary users, he or she can tell the rest. The "wheel
     group" feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the power of
     the rulers.

I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are
     used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you
     might find this idea strange at first.
