Demolishun3825627dI think that is one of those old keyboards you could kill someone with. They were heavy.

Demolishun3825627d@donkulator lol, just realized it was a database insert. doh!
Where it the foreign key into the table of offshore workers? -
rootshell163827d@Demolishun well we try to query that table but half the time we don't get a response. Super cheap sql cluster tho.

donkulator404626d@CaptainRant That guy is beating up his computer because the columns were in a different order to what he thought and he's just realised his script has been going to the toilet in the database for the last 3 days.

I just tend to believe everyone my own age around me was likely corrupt cowardly and lacking personality
Instead of evil and chock full of personality heh -
Demolishun3825621d@AvatarOfKaine old computers didn't generate very much heat. Especially 8088, 80286. I think 80386 and above started needing cpu coolers. Even then it was pretty low heat. Could get by with 100 to 200 W power supply.
-
@Demolishun I think when you're talking a processor the size of 3 or 4 checker squares in some cases that maybe did 100 khz you may be underestimating the heat level man lol

@Demolishun I have a special Model F at home made out of metal, it weighs 4 kilos. You could very easily kill someone with it and it sounds like a dead body hitting the floor when you drop it from a centimeter up from your desk. Love that thing to death.
