    If you have to add more than four "post"s, does it just become a "many-post" method?

Shhh... That's the part you never mention loudly. Just wait until all our mainboards rise on judgement day.

Don't know how cute they think we are... Then again, I don't know if they even know that concept of "cuteness" or if they just always want to eat stuff they find nice.
  With all those challenges everywhere, the question is how many sub-internets there are... One for humans, another one for bots... Maybe one for cats as well? Maybe there's an axolotl-net, guarded by strange captchas? Or a cthulu-net, with questions beyond human comprehension?

So, I know it's an old take to laugh at people that don't know x that older people took for granted. The idea here was rather to give it a more respectful spin. Nobody's ridiculed here. It's supposed to give it this point of view of the older guy that doesn't make fun of the younger ones but just reminds them that they'll be in the same shoes eventually, with stuff that they took for granted fading into obscurity. You know, taking a more humble stance, without being condescending.
On another note, the save icon going away might have something to do with programs just writing everything to storage anytime ASAP so the whole idea of writing to disk just disappears. Don't know if I like that workflow though, I'm too used to saving my work.

I have vivid memories of my Win 95 computer that came preinstalled. I had to buy a bunch of empty floppies and spend what felt like an eternity just inserting it one after another so I would get my set of Windows installation disks.

I had CSI in mind, but that Red Dwarf scene fits even better.
   
   
    
   
I know what it's *supposed* to mean, my brain just refuses to read it that way.

I heard that story, too... When I started studying. That was almost 20 years ago. I'd have assumed they had moved on until now if that hadn't been an urban myth in the first place.

Then just take this first draft (in German, but you know what they're saying) and assume that to be canon instead.

Are you talking about role playing games or rocket propelled grenades? And why would the latter be the topic of comp sci classes?

Guess that's an indicator for the language being much less interesting than your parents thought each other were.

To be honest, the first draft of this had the Shakespeare Programming Language in the last panel but the test audience (ie my co writer) had never heard about that one, so I changed it to something that wasn't necessarily bad but rather just old and no longer really in use.

"prod" remains "production" even if used as an adjective? Man, English really is weird sometimes. I'll try to fix it later; I'm at work right now.

Boss makes a grand, I make a dollar. I eat more fibre so breaks get even longer.
   
   
As joking about German words works incredibly well in English, here's the original:  There you go. Now you can be sure that the joke's just as funny as originally intended.
Well, of course that data is in the "cloud" of a capitalist company willing to sell access to it to anyone... But that doesn't mean I am okay with *you* being that anyone!
If it's a buzzword bingo, then where are all the insects and their noises?
