[thelist] Bring your daughter to work day

don't try to deny it - the internet was created entirely to facilitate games of
quake.

you must inform these girls that your role is to set up machines, and
co-ordinate inter-office slaughterfests. you must train them! an opportunity
like this should not be ignored...

and i've already started writing your presentation:

"many times you may have heard of the word "perfection", but today, girls, you
will finally see this word represented in physical form. behold - quake 1. know
early, and know well, that your weapon of choice will be the rocket launcher.

"and before anyone here tells you otherwise, 'backend' is simply the area behind
you. keep an eye on it, and make sure no one's there happily nailing your butt
to the wall."

if you're working on a machine with not-so-much memory, clearing the clipboard,
undo, and stored pattern from RAM may help. you'll find the options to do so
under edit > purge.
