I would buy a Lisa right now, if cheap. Like under $30.
Preferably not one that had been "upgraded" to a MacXL, but I wouldn't run away too quickly.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Can I boast of my technological breakthrough? I have learned how to create search plug-ins for my work's research databases! I even figured out how to put in the EZProxy code! Fear my elite skills!
(It's actually really easy. There's a generator. But most of the people I work with don't even know what a search plug-in IS.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You rock, flea!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey Hivemind: once again I have managed to accidentally hit that clever combination of keys which shows all the formatting (spaces, paragraphs etc.) in Outlook. Would anybody pretty please be able to tell me how to turn it off? It's on both my work computers now. Doh!
edit: I fixed it all by myself! yay me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I want one of these: Microwulf: A Personal, Portable Beowulf Cluster
DIY.
over 26 Gflops of measured performance
Actual, not theoretical max.
As of Aug 1, 2007, Microwulf can be built for $1256, improving its price/performance ratio to less than $48/Gflop.
Now I gotta find something that actually needs that much computer power. Any ideas? Calculating biorhythms? Storing recipes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not to be a buzzkill, but could y'all maybe go a little easy on the jokes about you know what? (OS, starts with a V, you know.)
Some of us here have bits on that box, and it gets real old, real fast.

Good thing no one here worked on the Apple Lisa.
