A fundamental concept of Bistromathematics, as described in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself". Similar to, and easily confused with the related principle by which knowing that the answer is 42 precludes knowing the question.
42 is not a recipriversexcluson, because it really is the location of Stavromula Beta. What is precluded about 42 is knowing that Stavromula Beta is the question.
Yes, I am allowed to say so. In fact it's a necessity, because every publication of Hitchhiker is required, by yet another similarly related principle, to contradict all previous publications of it.

Get the recipriversexclusonmug. A dialect of written slang used by littles, mostly on chat and message boards. Spelling is extremely phonetic, reflects child-like speech impediments, and may be otherwise incorrect. Grammar is extremely child-like. Comments frequently reflect child-like miscomprehension of others' comments.

What is it with application programmers that makes them think I want some program running in the background to steal focus every time it completes a subtask? If I wanted to micromanage a task, I'd use a command prompt!
