    What's on your desktop when you're away?

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    It does not explain how they get back when I come back to my computer. A sequel, perhaps?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    You know it's an old video when there is Diablo 2 on the desktop.

    Think I am going to install D2 now, but I am going to rename the shortcut to 'The Chosen One' and see if the plot lines collide and I can make the universe collapse.
