And I'm so excited because I have so much work to do and nothing says procrastination better than watching Tim Cook breathlessly talk about power chargers or the new shade of chartreuse for their phone cases.
Ah, technology.
Update: So the iPad Pro is to be the replacement for the Macbook. No one's come out and said it, but with the M1 chip, 2Tb storage, 16Gb RAM, thunderbolt over USB-C: it's a touch-enabled Macbook.

If that's all that clowns like this talked about, listening to their blather wouldn't be half as bad.

I like the colors, maybe not for me, but I find them to be nice.
I'd rather be phishing!

Is that an oversized tablet or an undersized PC?

My girlfriend is "touch-enabled". My PC isn't. It does a command line, which she doesn't.
How much better is your programming with that "touch-enabled"?

If you inform to the police about dumb criminals, are you likely to need a witless relocation program?

So witty I nearly felon the floor! Barring any objections I only need worry when this sentence ends.

I have about 500 lines of C++ code devoted to representing and manipulating them. It's rectangles everywhere.
I blt a bitmap - source rectangle for copy window, destination rectangle for destination blt position and size, plus flipped if the rect is flipped, clipping rectangle for clipping the output to a window, and an offset rectangle for correcting for partially "offscreen" blts.
It's rectangles all the way down. Overlapping, containing, rotating, intersecting, confusing rectangles. 
I'm going to need a lot more coffee.

You should be using Turtle (logo programing language)[^] ...

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.
