Ant in my LCD
Theres a little ant in my damn monitor. He is right in my view and I cant budge him. He is in front of the pixels but behind the top layer. Its going to drive me nuts until I take it apart and break it.
Oh great now he is crawling.

Stop putting crack in your LCD. Stuff is a bug magnet.

If you're dealing with crazy ants, known for their penchant for destroying electronics, you'd best prepare for some serious chemical warfare.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Re: Ant in my LCD
That was Admiral Grace Hopper and she came to speak at my college! It was very cool, they spent time tracking down a mechanical switch that had stopped working because an insect had gotten stuck in it. When they logged the time, they taped the insect on the page and said they were "debugging" the problem. And the rest is history. She also said she had a hard time conceptualizing a millisecond and to help, but a friend of hers had built one for her and it was in her purse. She pulled out a length of wire, don't recall how long it was, saying that was how far electricity travelled in a millisecond.Rumpy wrote:The first computer bug was named so due to an actual bug creating problems inside...

A light-nanosecond is almost a foot. A light-millisecond would be about 1/5th of a mile.

Having lived in that world with some small intuition for those time scales, I had to verify things for myself. Cool vid, Isgrim.
