   Get a life! imp.   Hacker-standard way of suggesting that the
   person to whom it is directed has succumbed to terminal geekdom (see
   {computer geek}).   Often heard on {Usenet}, esp. as a way of
   suggesting that the target is taking some obscure issue of
   {theology} too seriously.   This exhortation was popularized by
   William Shatner on a "Saturday Night Live" episode in a speech that

   in use before then.   It was certainly in wide use among hackers for
   at least five years before achieving mainstream currency in early
   1992.

   islands. The traditionally important sugarcane crop is slowly being
   replaced by other crops, such as bananas (which now supply about 50%
   of export earnings), eggplant, and flowers. Other vegetables and root
   crops are cultivated for local consumption, although Guadeloupe is
   still dependent on imported food, which comes mainly from France.
   Light industry consists mostly of sugar and rum production. Most
   manufactured goods and fuel are imported. Unemployment is especially
