More fitness also means less chance of injury during sports; you should start smoking before you become too healthy

Not lugging 20 kgs around the mountains is going to reduce injury!

But Can It Run Crysis?

I suppose it can, in the same way it can "run" Doom. Or anything else for that matter.
What's the effective resolution of an Etch-a-sketch anyway?

From here: 325 mesh[^], which is about 7 to 15 microns[^], which works out to about 2270 grains per inch if I've done my math right. Of course, that is under ideal, no-clumping, conditions. And a perfect stylus.

A 15 micron stylus? Sounds a tad optimistic. 
... such stuff as dreams are made on

No kidding.
Otherwise...who needs 4K when you've got an Etch-a-sketch??

I thought this was way cool. All that work could get erased so easily though, yikes.

It has to, so you get the next frame.

Somebody needs to draw a frame, take a picture, draw another frame, take another picture, etc. And then string all the pictures together (30 frames a second) to create a smooth animation.
Project of a lifetime. So...how long should we bet until somebody does it?

As expected, the "upgrade" from Win7 to Win10 is crashing into sh*t.
The IT guy I talk to on a semi-regular basis claimed last week that the upgrade wouldn't affect our installed software, and said we would come in to work the next day, and we could get right to work. Wrong. Four laptops in my office were upgraded, and none of them still had the mission-critical software that WAS on them, and no indication of why.
I suspect that they just applied a standard OS image to the machine (as DoD sites are wont to do), which does not include the specialized software required by people in our office.
Now, we have four completely useless machines in our office, and they will remain useless because our department is somewhere near the bottom of the priority list to have issues resolved.
Even more fun - Wednesday, they're supposed to do the rest of our machines - mine included. I will at least have an excuse for not being able to work on Qlikview, so silver linings I suppose...

Welcome to the Windows 10 upgrade victims club 
|
|
|
|
|
Over 3700 computers (at our site) have to be replaced because they're not compatible with Win10... I wonder how long it's gonna take for that to happen (it took our department a year and a half to get the computers we have now, from date of request to initial user log-in).

Boy am I glad I work at a small company (only 20 persons)
But recently I had my part of Windows 10 update troubles after our TeamCity builder was updated, the system had become unstable, I could not even open the Start menu anymore.
Also signing with signtool.exe suddenly would not work anymore, so I had to setup a completely new TeamCity server which took about a week !

So exactly what are you expected to do when you have a system that's missing the software you need to do your job, and your hands are tied behind your back in such as way that you can't even manage said system yourself?
Genuinely wondering - I've only worked for a large company for a few short years, but have been fortunate enough I guess never to have found myself in that sort of situation during that time.
I'd be doing everything I can to cover my ass and ensure I can't be blamed for projects that have a fixed deadline, and can't move forward due to other people's incompetence. Like, archived email trail, if not signing actual papers.

You sit patiently at your desk and wait your turn. There are over 5000 computers that need to upgraded, 3700 of which need to be completely replaced completely. They have four guys assigned to resolve issues, so eventually, everything will be copacetic. They promise.

All of our data lives on a network share, so there are no worries in that regard. Only the apps have to be reinstalled, and the IT guys have to do it. It's not so much incompetence as it is piss poor planning.
