The prosecution asserts that this shit is off the hook

While I'm linking to old comics, every time I get asked for advice about building a home computer, this Penny Arcade strip springs to mind.



If you didn't see the strip or read the story, Dallas District Attorney Raw Sumrow used office funds to build himself a l33t b0xx0r - twin drives, seven fans, UV lights, kick-ass sound and graphics, the whole schmole - as an "office backup server". Yerse. Which was mysteriously mostly full of his own stuff. Who'da thunk it?

I must admit to sneaking admiration for his chutzpah, at least.

I also find it something of a relief, as per this recent PA strip, that I actually had to do some fairly extensive Googling to have the faintest idea what to tank Kally as a prot-specced Pally meant. There is hope for me yet.

Doubtless [livejournal.com profile] twistedanimator or [livejournal.com profile] pmcmurray could have told me in an instant. And they're meant to be growunups.
