Nothing.   That sucker is simply unable to write programs so he's
writing the "news".   It took me a month to write the working QIC
floppy-tape driver for BSD/386 (talk to my employer (BSD Inc.) if
you need one and better buy the system) and that device really %@#!@
but i guess any real programmer can do it.  Now lets all together
tell him: "SHUT UP AND DO NOT APPEAR HERE UNTIL YOU GOT THE WORKING
DRIVER".  Fair enough, yeah?
