Some years ago I read that there was a patent on saving the portion of a display that was being overwritten, so that it could be restored without regenerating it. Some folks just need a good caning.

I'm fine with copyrighting software but I think software patents were a mistake.

You just violated my patent restrictions on that very idea. You will now pay me $100 jillion dollars, or face interminable litigation.

At least you are not dealing with circles. They are pointless.

Thank you. It was a goofy joke but it's just what I needed right now. Thank you for the smile.

How many sides does a circle have?

I have no idea, but I suppose a case could be made for any of the three good numbers: 0, 1, or ∞.

Two; an inside and an outside.

So ... seventeen years in the dark, and then they come out for sex?
They are developers, aren't they?

Well, we've had plague, and now locusts. What next?

I'm pretty sure that plague and locust are far worse than cicadas.

Plague (aka Black Death) was much worse than COVID-19. That doesn't mean that I can't compare Plague to COVID-19, and Locusts to Cicadas.

you can't compare locust to cicadas.
One can cause famine, the other doesn't.

You have to realize that these "locusts" ate before they came to visit.
Mainly they leave their nymph shells firmly attached all over the place.
