# [Hardware] sucks. The semi-mythical [PDP11] was rumoured to suck only slightly, but everything more recent sucks noticibly. Because suckage of a system is proportional to the sum of the suckage of it's parts to the power of the number of parts, modern systems built of many subsystems and sub-subsystems are very sucky. |

# [ProgrammingLanguage]s suck. MachineLanguage sucks in direct proportion to the underlying hardware. Every layer above the MachineLanguage increases the suckage factorially. For this reason, never point a [CompilerCompiler] running on a [VirtualMachine] (see [JavaCC]) at the moon or risk peturbing it's orbit. |

# [Software] sucks. Partly because it is written in a [ProgrammingLanguage], partly because it is configured and used by [Wetware]. |

# [Wetware] sucks. [Luser]s' suckage is a combination of their innate suckage and the suckage of the hardware and software they use. Of course, their innate suckage leads to a preferance for very suck hardware and software, which doesn't help. |
