Save Our Species

The usually sanguine Nvidia PR folks were not as enthusiastic about the venture as you might expect. "We are not sure, but we think Dave Orton's in on the deal. Damn. Damn. Damn. You know, he gets car sick. Really, he gets car sick. How is he going to time travel? Why don't you write that you worthless hack! Want us to treat you like The Inquirer, huh!? Huh, creep!?"

"Well, that's not right. If anyone gets car sick it is Jen-Hsun Huang. He gets more car sick than Dave Orton. Nvidia's boards belong in the dark ages. Let them take them back there. Hah! Why don't you write that down you sycophantic moron!? You won't. You are so anti-Canuck. We own ice hockey, fool!"

We, the THG folk, are not immune to the excitement in time travel, and have pledged our janitorial services to the consortium. For many of us, the opportunity to travel back in time and to make different career choices is of utmost importance. It is, actually, vital to the survival of our species.

In Conclusion

It is unfortunate that today, of all days, was chosen by the consortium to make its historic announcement. Damn the cynicism of our readership! Will they always choose to believe what they read elsewhere, or can they just suspend disbelief this one time, and realize that this the first big scoop we have had since the realization that putting a water cooled CPU down your pants is no substitute for love.
