Oh, okay, smartguy, you with the “compute to the last digit Pi” and shit. That’s your best shot? How 'bout:

10 PRINT _(or **?** to all you uber-speedkeying vulcans)_ “You ain’t SHIT!”  
20 GOTO 10

How’s that for your vulcan 7 year bitch? I did that to your momma, and only 'cuz she was human. Bitch.

And that shit ties up the ENTIRE PROCESSING CAPABILITY of, can I really call it a CPU??? Nice that fuckers in the UFP hadn’t thought about Pi and shit and irrationals and numbers and INFINITY and shit and stupid fucking vulcans and astronauts that drive 900 miles to Florida wearing space-diapers.

All this time, I thought Edsger Dijkstra hated gotos because they encourage spaghetti code, but now I discover that the real reason is because people will make unintelligible posts on the SDMB involving them. Very insightful, that Dijkstra.

You’re assuming a computer in the 23rd century ran BASIC. Highly unlikely.

You seem to have confused Spock for one of Mudd’s androids.

Well, it is a _little_ disturbing to find that 23rd-century computers can’t multitask at all. I guess that sometime in the future, someone will figure out why single-threaded is best.

We must nuke the OP from orbit.

Amanda is dead! Long live Amanda!

I like Amanda, and I like Winona Ryder, but I hated Winona Ryder’s Amanda. Jane Wyatt FTW!
