think

THINK(1)						      General Commands Manual							  THINK(1)

NAME

       think - you don't have to think, the computer can think for you

SYNOPSIS

       think [ -detach ]

DESCRIPTION

       Think simulates a thinking brain.

       This  can  be  useful if someone is not wanting to think at invocation time or if someone is needing some thinking about something.  It can
       also be helpful if someone's brain is not working correctly at invocation time.

       When invoked, think will go ahead and look at all of the commands and keystrokes that a user has made during  the  current  login  session.
       Think  will  then  look	at what files the user has.  From this and what level the user is listed at in the file /usr/lib/think, think will
       figure out what the user was trying to do when think was invoked.

DEVICES

       The process that think uses to help a user is greatly aided if the user is wearing a brain interface bus (bib) device.	A  bib	device	is
       normally  worn  on the head, and if being used, then think will try to see what was going through the users head at the time of invocation.
       After think does this, it will send electric signals to the users brain, causing the user to type in whatever keystrokes are  necessary	to
       accomplish the task that he/she doesn't want to think about.

OPTIONS

       -detach
	      also  known  as "Must mother do all of your thinking for you?"-mode.  This options causes think to run in the background as a daemon
	      that watches for users who look like they may need assistance.  When a user is found to be exercising cluelessness, think will  lock
	      up  their  keyboard  and will proceed to execute what seems to be the most likely sequence of commands that the user had intended to
	      execute.	This flag may only be used by the super-user.

FILES

       /dev/brain
	      bib device special file.

       /usr/lib/think
	      file to indicate various user abilities.	The format of this file is a username on each line followed by some whitspace and  then  a
	      number.	The  higher  the  number  for  a given user, the more likely think is to assume that that user knows what he/she is doing.
	      Unfortunately, what think considers a large number will vary with usage.

BUGS

       If a user is using a bib device and actually lacks a brain of their own, then there is a high risk that think will take	over  their  (non-
       existent) minds.  This has the upshot that someone other than the user will have to stop the program.  (Perhaps this is a feature.)

       It may illegal in some areas to force users to wear bib devices.
