Perhaps s/he was speaking of the ruler of the governmental star wars body? If you take the title, "Star Wars Premier: The Line People," then Triumph's Episode II quote, "All Hail, King of the Nerds!" would actually apply here.
For the first time, I have a system that I don't feel overclocking will help. Applications start instantaneously, games run smoothly. At the moment, CD and hard drives seem the bottleneck. In short, my Athlon64 is ***fast enough already***. Granted, I don't think this will last too long, but it's been quite nice for the 9 months I've had this box.
Granted, if I was running an antivirus suite, I'd probably welcome overclocking...
Years ago my mom received an "unbreakable" bottle of mouthwash in the mail. Dubious of its claims, she shouted "Oh Yeah?" and proceeded to, in fact, break it, spilling its contents all over the front porch.
Something tells me it won't take long for some driver to doubt MS's claims and test out the noncrashability for themselves.
WARNING:
Cubic time is proven fact and cannot be disputed. Nature's simultaneous 4-day cube proves that there are four parts to a day, and four days occuring always at the four corners of earth. 2x2=4, and people who insist in time as something that can be traveled think of THREE parts, past present and future, but there are in actuality FOUR parts, fact which is ignored by antiHarmony academia criminals. Time "theories" from people educated moronic in evil institutions are ignorant of the four corners of the time and of the world. Denying the existence of four-sided nature of time and universe is to ensure your own demise. You are stupid arrogant curse to all creatures of the planet.
I don't know... if I was a time traveler, I'd probably show up to one of the later time travel conferences, just to throw them off, and it's quite likely that I'd be the only person to bother actually going to said conference.
Even better, it would be extremely cool if I were to somehow invent time travel, keep it a secret, travel into the far future, find out when said conferences were held, and travel to one, say, 100 years AFTER I had invented time travel.
Don't worry. Your concerns will be fixed in the Double Trilogy Six-Pack DVD Set, due out in 2008, shortly before the scene where Han Solo sings a duet with holographic Leia about the joys of friendship.
Tinker with your syntax hilighting. You can probably make the comments in a color that is still legible, but obviously not code. This way, you can look at the program at a glance and know what it does, and have the comments there when you need them.
After a while on any project, the buzzwords tend to blur together. This is especially true when I begin to work on someone else's part of a project that I'm previously unfamiliar with. Some of the best comments, in my opinion, are those that are written by people who are good writers, not just good coders.
Write comments so that a relative idiot (someone who knows how to code, but doesn't know beans about, say, four different graphics APIs) would understand. Heck, after six months away from my own code, I sometimes feel like an idiot wondering why I put something in a certain place.
As coders, we tend to love long words and big fancy phrases that explain what something does. If, however, we can bite the bullet and divorce ourselves from "Assigns primary responsibility for the node list's functor to the parent's third data field before disconnecting it from the graphics pipeline" in favor of "Stops drawing," we can take a big step towards legibility.
Heck, comments could even *gasp* tell WHY instead of WHAT. Looking at the code it's commenting will tell us WHAT. WHY is often much more cryptic, and a few choice words can clarify it for all readers involved.

Granted, due to the movie, I'd buy one.

he can just let someone else do it and collect 50 million for his signature.
Sounds like an excellent plan!!!

I beg to differ. The combination of red and blue may well send you "hurtling through a clock-filled tunnel."
A BSOD crashes your machine and perhaps the files you were working on. An RSOD takes the little bombs from the old Macintoshes and detonates them.
the purple screen of death. Happens when longhorn bsods and rsods at the same time
The Purple Screen of Death also transports you back in time and allows you to become your own grandfather.

We do not discuss it with outsiders.

They could shoot you. With this knowledge, your five-minutes-from-now self may decide against the time jump.
That's why you have to be going 88mph.
Duh.
faithful to author Douglas Adams' legacy. The trouble is it's simply not especially funny.
In my book, that is a contradiction.
there are some bonus scenes from the guide!
Indeed, although some == 1.
Rather,
"The earth has acquired a slight eccentricity in its orbit"
Or, if you're a mattress, "floopy".
Doesn't that mean Darth is weaker with fewer limbs?
Indeed. That's why he doesn't do any acrobatics in IV-VI.

the younger guys who haven't seen Eps. IV-VI.
Isn't that considered child abuse in some states? Seeing 1-3 before 4-6, that is.
