A comment in technopause references and-- "I have a slightly different definition of technopause...Technopause is a point in a man’s Life when the effort it takes to understand and master new technology overshadows the benefits it provides. technopause typically occurs later in Life, around 50, but it can strike at anytime. Symptoms of technopause are tendencies to seek out a simpler lifestyle that requires less technology in everyday Life. Men suffering from technopause tend to regress to activities like hiking, bike riding, camping and fishing where outdoor activities bring greater pleasure with very limited forms of technology. Ultimately they start loosing their need to seek out new “toys and widgets†that stimulate their curiosity.Currently there is no known cure for technopause. However, progress of the disease can be slowed through forced, but limited exposure to technology while enjoying the simpler pleasures of Life. For example, while hiking, small doses of technology such as a hand held GPS may reinvigorate a man’s “tech†cells, thus slowing progression of the disease. However, care must be taken not to over do it, as this could cause a severe relapse and kill all remaining tech cells eliminating any Hope for recovery.Early research has shown that technologies in the proper doses are well tolerated by Men, especially early in their Life when their immune system is strong. Large doses have been known to overwhelm some Men causing them to “go natural†and avoid technology altogether. Sometimes going so far as becoming Park Rangers, Environmentalists and in rare cases, Vegans, avoiding technology as much as possible.Research also indicates that women are more immune to technopause. It is believed that they are more “social†in nature, making them less attractive to technology. Women seem able to inherently weigh the technical complexity verses the benefit early on before considering the use of technology in their lives. They tend to limit their exposure to technology only when it is Necessary. Reduced testosterone in women may also have links to reduced levels of tech cells. This leads to a more balanced Life.Another interesting observation includes Amish people who have evolved genetically to be immune to the need for technology. Tests show they possess no tech cells at all and still live a happy and productive Life without any technology, and never find a need to pick up a phone or a remote control.Further research is needed to prevent or delay the onset of this debilitating disease. Vaccinations could be developed to help prevent the spread of technopause and help extend the useful Life of Men. Until then, moderation is the key to anything in Life. © Michel L. Cochran 2009"

However, care must be taken not to over do it, as this could cause a severe relapse and kill all remaining tech cells eliminating any Hope for recovery.Early research has shown that technologies in the proper doses are well tolerated by Men, especially early in their Life when their immune system is strong. Large doses have been known to overwhelm some Men causing them to “go natural†and avoid technology altogether. Sometimes going so far as becoming Park Rangers, Environmentalists and in rare cases, Vegans, avoiding technology as much as possible.Research also indicates that women are more immune to technopause. It is believed that they are more “social†in nature, making them less attractive to technology. Women seem able to inherently weigh the technical complexity verses the benefit early on before considering the use of technology in their lives. They tend to limit their exposure to technology only when it is Necessary. Reduced testosterone in women may also have links to reduced levels of tech cells. This leads to a more balanced Life.Another interesting observation includes Amish people who have evolved genetically to be immune to the need for technology. Tests show they possess no tech cells at all and still live a happy and productive Life without any technology, and never find a need to pick up a phone or a remote control.Further research is needed to prevent or delay the onset of this debilitating disease. Vaccinations could be developed to help prevent the spread of technopause and help extend the useful Life of Men. Until then, moderation is the key to anything in Life. © Michel L. Cochran 2009"

A comment in technopause references and-- "I have a slightly different definition of technopause...Technopause is a point in a man’s Life when the effort it takes to understand and master new technology overshadows the benefits it provides. technopause typically occurs later in Life, around 50, but it can strike at anytime. Symptoms of technopause are tendencies to seek out a simpler lifestyle that requires less technology in everyday Life. Men suffering from technopause tend to regress to activities like hiking, bike riding, camping and fishing where outdoor activities bring greater pleasure with very limited forms of technology. Ultimately they start loosing their need to seek out new “toys and widgets†that stimulate their curiosity.Currently there is no known cure for technopause. However, progress of the disease can be slowed through forced, but limited exposure to technology while enjoying the simpler pleasures of Life. For example, while hiking, small doses of technology such as a hand held GPS may reinvigorate a man’s “tech†cells, thus slowing progression of the disease. However, care must be taken not to over do it, as this could cause a severe relapse and kill all remaining tech cells eliminating any Hope for recovery.Early research has shown that technologies in the proper doses are well tolerated by Men, especially early in their Life when their immune system is strong.

Automatically, but in a way that, for some reason (typically because it is too complicated, or too ugly, or perhaps even too trivial), the speaker doesn't feel like explaining to you. See magic. "The c-INTERCAL compiler generates c, then automagically invokes `cc(1)' to produce an executable."This term is quite old, going back at least to the mid-70s in jargon and probably much earlier. The word `automagic' occurred in advertising (for a shirt-ironing gadget) as far back as the late 1940s."

A comment in flippants references and-- "word History: One would not expect a word for a modern article of clothing to come ultimately from the name of a 4th-century Roman Catholic saint, but that is the case with the word pants. It can be traced back to Pantaleon, the patron saint of Venice. He became so closely associated with the inhabitants of that city that the Venetians were popularly known as Pantaloni. Consequently, among the commedia dell'arte's stock characters the representative Venetian (a stereotypically wealthy but miserly merchant) was called Pantalone, or Pantalon in French. In the mid-17th century the French came to identify him with One particular style of trousers, a style which became known as pantaloons in English. Pantaloons was later applied to another style that came into fashion in the late 18th century, tight-fitting garments that had begun to replace knee breeches. After that pantaloons was used to refer to trousers in general. The abbreviation of pantaloons to pants met with some resistance at first; it was considered vulgar and, as Oliver Wendell Holmes put it, "a word not made for gentlemen, but 'gents.'" First found in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe in 1840, pants has replaced the "gentleman's word" in English and has Lost all obvious connection to Saint Pantaleon.""

A good sub-question is, what language is it? It turns out that "Auld Lang Syne" is an extremely old Scottish song that was first written down in the 1700s. Robert Burns is the person whose transcription got the most attention, so the song is associated with him. According to this page, a good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by." So (incorporating a couple of other translations) when we sing this song, we are saying, "We'll drink a cup of kindness yet for times gone by." "
