@HardwareGeek said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@dangeRuss I said nothing about getting the job done with the Internet as it existed in 1984. From what I can recall of the few images one could find on Usenet in the days before affordable scanners or digital cameras, they were of such low resolution as to be almost impossible to even figure out what they were images of, much less useful for getting the job done.
I think you're forgetting about Lena. But the original post stands, before the internet, meaning before it was easily available in your home.

@Gern_Blaanston 1989 was not before the Internet. Usenet dates to 1980, and I personally used it as early as 1984, maybe late 1983, during a 6-month internship while in university. Even the Web existed in 1989 (although it didn't open to the public until 1991). As for the Sears catalog, I would assume the 1889 version got the job done, too. (Actually, I have no idea when they started putting photos of the merchandise in the catalogs, so maybe it didn't.)
I thought about editing the year to 1969 or something, but
This particular joke was obviously created by someone who thinks that 1989 is "old".

Many online support groups for NodeJS developers welcome newcomers following the now popular discussion. Within a safe space, many similar beliefs are tolerated and nurtured. In addition to the gigahertz, it is okay to think that RAM is virtually limitless (that's why they call it "virtual memory"), 5 seconds is "very fast", everybody has a broadband connection, and nobody really likes native OS scrolling behavior.

Well obviously because a milliard is a thousand million and a billion is a million million, and gigahertz is clearly a milliard of Hertz.

@Zecc has a lot to answer for. God bless his black little heart.

Although this scan from a 1897 edition does not contain the underwear pages, a representative clothing style page would indicate against it:
The cover did have a picture of a pretty lady though. And we've all been young enough, once, to have made do with less:

Toby faire, the "virtual memory is virtually limitless" part is, for all intents and purposes, true on modern PC hardware.

@Mason_Wheeler that's only true of Linux hardware

@PleegWat not sure what you mean by that remark but there's a significant difference in how Windows and Linux memory allocators work. In particular, Linux pretends virtual memory is literally infinite. Makes OOM conditions much more .

@Gustav It's an old meme here (before your time, clearly). I could look it up but the warthog kneels.

Doesn't Windows pretend it can grow the pagefile infinitely for a very similar end result?
The thing is with modern software that uses tons of threads, there really is a huge amount of memory allocated and never used. In one past project that was embedded Linux with some crappy custom framework for something I once looked, and it was overcommitting the memory something like 10 times. Because the frameworks used a lot of threads that just waited on various sockets. And each thread gets 8 MiB of virtual memory, most of which fortunately never got used for anything.

No, when you can't use memory you can't allocate. At least that's how it used to work in 7. Dunno if they changed that later on.

Linux has always been addicted to forking and huge amount of processes, and has been designed right from the start with that in mind. And overcommitting memory was part of that.

Not "infinitely" but up to the size of your hard drive. Which is a lot, unless you are using a really old computer with a really small hard drive.

@Bulb go complain to the people who stole the original joke (which I can’t find anymore) and had to remake it with more stuff piled on.

A person has a meeting with a lawyer to get some legal advice. After the meeting is finished the lawyer says "That will be two hundred dollars". The client pays the lawyer but accidentally gives him three hundred dollars instead of two hundred.
After the client has gone the lawyer notices that the client gave him too much money. What should the lawyer do?
(A) Keep the money and say nothing.
(B) Split the money with his partner.

It has Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson as the male leads. That obviously means it's super cereal.

medical code
IDC11 only has things like
PA71 Unintentionally struck, kicked, or bumped by animal
PA75 Unintentionally bitten by animal (and now I wonder if there is a section Intentionally bitten by animal)
that allow to specify some animal forms
but no turkey
Canada did however had moose included
