A lot of first time writers who have no training write incredibly purple prose. It's just usually they aren't famous enough to get their book actually published. If anything this reflects rather poorly on Mr. Montgomery since he theoretically gets professionally paid to write (by MTV, but still) and seems to have been…

Ahh I remember those halcyon days when young high schoolers would listen to Fall Out Boy. Thank goodness the emo wave died down. The hipster wave that replaced it is marginally more acceptable at least. Not sure what audience this book is aimed at, as high schoolers these days probably have no idea who Fall Out Boy…

There's a vast difference between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a smaller but still significant gap between CS and Computer Engineering. This seems to be something you're hung up on. Turing had nothing to do with hardware, it was all the mathematics and algorithmic ideas he came up with that grant…

How can you be drunk off of a small college town in central Illinois? Drunk OUT of Champaign? As in they kicked you out? This is what I'm going with.

Something something something austerity joke.

Apparently it's not so much the computer architecture as it is the mathematics behind computer science that get Turing so many accolades.

That's Wangercum!

Fair enough @avclub-78b6e39336f2cc0745a2944f919541a4:disqus. The Tirpitz was definitely a specter that haunted the Brits. I just think that destroying "the pride of the royal navy" Hood and scaring off the the HMS Prince of Wales was more of a wartime feat. But it is possible I get too sucked into the heroic naval…

Not to be pedantic (I actually mean to be super pedantic) but the Admiral Graf Spee was actually a cruiser. And come one man, the Tirpitz was ignominiously sunk without doing much of anything. At least the Bismarck sank a few ships along the way.

Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Who can say @avclub-0f29370d9da664c1e143182f37301063:disqus ?

First they came for the ridiculous commentators, and I said nothing because my comments are always dead serious.

@avclub-920530cb8744c679e3a2ece84f1d5ce4:disqus I applaud your tolerance for pain.

I never got those commercials either, since you need the crunch to be at least a little soggy or else it cuts up your mouth like a Filipino knife fighter.

It's also my favorite. Everyone needs to know how gay I am for Tolkien

Yes yes yes. I'll give him my 10 bucks right now

I recall the nerds of the time being very upset that Lincoln ruined their investment's value.

They need to get Bruce Willy in this movie too!

What a horrific thought.

No Manti, I'm sorry. Liking someone's tweet does not mean you're dating. Also, do you even know if this "Azita" chick really exists?
