Error Code 337: TECHNOLOGY IS A MORE POWERFUL SOCIAL FORCE THAN THE ASPIRATION FOR FREEDOM
It is not possible to make a LASTING compromise between technology and freedom, because technology is by far the more powerful social force and continually encroaches on freedom through REPEATED compromises. Imagine the case of two neighbors, each of whom at the outset owns the same amount of land, but one of whom is more powerful than the other. The powerful one demands a piece of the other's land. The weak one refuses. The powerful one says, "OK, let's compromise. Give me half of what I asked." The weak one has little choice but to give in. Some time later the powerful neighbor demands another piece of land, again there is a compromise, and so forth. By forcing a long series of compromises on the weaker man, the powerful one eventually gets all of his land. So it goes in the conflict between technology and freedom.

Error code 321: "Roses are red/Violets are blue/The prize could be dusty/With rubbish in too" So you grow roses in the garden, gardening is also called horticulture. Take the last three letters of horitculture and you get 'ure'. Midge Ure was lead singer of Ultravox who got to number two with Vienna. Vienna was the name of Rigsby's cat in Rising Damp. Replace the 't' with an 'r' in 'cat' and you get 'car' - YOU'VE REJECTED THE CAR!!
