Because the sun's magnetic poles flipped?
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

All I saw was a square with a number incrementing in it.

I would also call it the CPU cooler. When it was running (before reaching it's completion) I could see the CPU utilization get pegged and then the fan kicked on.

Yea I was having threading issues. I need to make one thread for running the callbacks from all the other threads. I only have it at 4 separate threads. Imagine if i filled the pools with threads, probably blow your computer up. lol

Not the backing band, but the Home Service's Greenwich Time Signal[^]. 90 years old today.
I guess that calls for a glass...

Occasionally one hears the presenter-du-jour on the home service 'Crash the Pips[^]' and it causes me great distress.

"At 8am on 17 September 2008, to the surprise of John Humphrys, the day's main presenter on the Today programme, and Johnnie Walker, who was standing in for Terry Wogan on Radio 2, the pips went adrift by 6 seconds, and broadcast seven pips rather than six. This was traced to a problem with the pip generator, which was 'repaired' by switching it off and on again."

A disappointingly mundane explanation, I'd much prefer if it had been some coded message to a deeply embedded super agent working to protect us against an evil criminal mastermind (hollowed-out volcano optional).

The hollowed-out volcano lair is never optional, how else do you expect to distinguish between mere criminals and evil criminal-mastermind super-villains?

And where, Mr Smarty Pants, do you think the Evil One is going to launch that from? Yup, the hollowed out core of volcano. It's like Cole's Law, it can't be broken.

I first read it as "Happy Birthday to the Pigs".
I am happy it is not that.

I've met some very nice pigs!
And eaten most of them, I admit, but...

I once knew a girl like that.

I up-voted by mistake.. is there any way to remove it?

Is it "Time travel"?
Emit == time backwards
Chronon == postulated indivisible unit of time.
