FBI Agent: "... how did you gain access to his PC"
Bad Girl: "Let me guess, your experts here couldn't figure that out?"
FBI Consultant: "If I could venture a hypothesis, I'd say you manipulated the blade pass frequency of the CPU fan thereby remotely accessing the main server core..."

Interesting, but they say you first need to install the fansmitter to send the data,
the show was using this as the method of first access, and remotely too.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It's a running joke in my office - we do exactly image processing to (automatically and very very fast) find non conformities in images of scanned canned (pun intended) products.
We all mention the "enhance" feature

Does she also absolutely know that password input fills most of the screen width in letters readable from across a room and can be guessed in about five tries?

In my uni days I remember someone telling me that the fan in a microwave oven was there to blow the microwaves around.

I think the job of such a genius must have involved a lot of blows...

Some early microwaves did have a rotating paddle inside the cooking cavity to break up standing waves and get more even cooking.

...of returning the masseur... it may improve code quality...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
That was the sound of something flying over my head.

I'll stick with coding cheerleaders, thanks.
Edit:
It just occurred to me that a masseur may help to make boolean expressions easier to read -- by getting the NOTs out!

If we ever had to choose I would gladly accept a masseur in the office - I have recurring back problems

Sort of.
I was just about to ask y'all how to fix a couple of things to my app that have been bothering me for ages. In the proper forums, of course.
But I decided to take one last look...
...and solved the issues my own self.
Now there's only one thing left...maybe I'll look at it tomorrow; see if I'm on a streak.

When I smoked, we referred to those as "taxi bait" - light a cigarette and the damn thing will turn up!
