Three Jaffa warriors meet on a neutral planet.

The em dash as a concept is a relic. People now communicate those uses with a dash between spaces, or with two dashes.

It’s like worrying which direction your quotation marks curl. They don’t.

That would be an ecumenical matter!

The killer was misled by bugs?

One of these panels is redundant.

So… rebranding APUs.

… I hope you keep good backups, if you think it takes a hammer-blow to kill a hard drive. The heads float half a dick-hair above spinning metal. They’re good at pulling away when it seems like they might get bumped together - but all it takes is one miss.

Absolutely no reason to put one in a new laptop.

But not all computers are new.

What, like the head crashed by sheer coincidence, after eight hours of rattling?

It was last year.

No turbulence while taking a piss or shit

Train bathrooms seem specifically designed to discourage using the bathroom while riding a train.

Also I had a laptop die from the constant vibrations destroying the hard disk drive.

OP: Thank you.

Microsoft does not make processors.

Yeah, I read the other guy’s comment. That is already one step too many. I still had to click, for that bait.

OP: put it in the fucking title.

Put it in the fucking title.

New hit: Love Letter to a Dungeon Master.

IIRC he was serving a king and an archbishop, and the king felt so bad that he strongarmed the archbishop into declaring it was not suicide - a mortal sin.

Which had to be fucking hilarious from across the room. Two distraught men in fancy clothes and silly hats, crowded into a kitchen, arguing nonsense about an extremely dead guy. The one in the crown insists: maybe he fell on it. He was cleaning it, and it went off.

It’s a rebrand of their earlier Joint Symposium in Marketing.

It’s already serious business in laptops and desktops. Just exclusively for Apple’s awful little incompatible fiefdom.

DirectX was always about displacing consoles. Alex St. John was talking about it in 1994.

The task is mostly complete. Software has won. The surprise is that Microsoft really hasn’t. They assumed they’d dominate whatever computer-ified market emerged… and that assumption is getting shakier every year. Windows suuucks. Linux is already a better way to run most programs and games. Even x86 is not a sure bet, and whatever ARM does to unseat it, that’ll transfer smoothly to RISC-V.

Everything old is new again. “The best Macintosh is an Amiga.” The best WinTel box might be your phone.
