They just derive off into the sin set.
Wouldn't they derive more SILICONE than SILICON in that set? (It's really more like the empty set than anything else....)

+1 to you. i was going to mention 2001 as well. But they (and the ST ones) look more like a Toshiba Excite or Sony S1 than an iPad.

That was "A Long Time Ago"
But a withered desktop age with Linux.
That is what I was imagining, but I couldn't find the words to express that as well as you did.
Limited hardware capability (which meant you had to use every CPU cycle and bit (an on/off state, a computer bit) of RAM optimally) meant that those coding had to be very skilled at telling the computer what to do. Nowadays, bloated and unoptimized code can do the same things faster on modern hardware, but it'd be many times faster yet, have fewer bugs, and be more secure if all programmers were as skilled and creative using modern hardware as those who are currently known as graybeards, who know the importance of using resources and time (processor cycles) skillfully. Some of them probably are, but others probably aren't.
Why not go all the way and change to Kelvin
Because then the freezing and boiling point of water wouldn't be 0 and 100 degrees, respectively. They'd be 273.15 and 373.15 degrees, respectively.
Maybe if we had 10.15 fingers (that includes thumbs, natürlich) and 10.15 toes and 2.15 arms and 2.15 legs that would make perfect sense to us. However, that's not the case for most of the people I know.
Aren't all well-worded letters superior to or more desirable than less well-worded letters when the recipient reads well the language the letter is written in?
I hope they have an army of bots ready to revert vandalism as soon as the data becomes publically-accessible!
A "veritable battery"
That's what the pattern buffer is for.
This isn't as much of a problem now as it was 20 years ago, but for fast typists, WP5.1x for DOS was the easiest and fastest by far. Other software rendered the text too slowly, couldn't keep up, etc. When a person's paycheck was dependent upon the person's line count and turnover time (e.g. in professions such as transcription), speed was essential.
News this evening for those of us whose car batteries remained charged until we got home.

Whee.
Hybrids are all the rage. But they really aren't that green.
I'll take that idea and run with it. The hybrids will get you to second base, even if they're long in the tooth or strike out once in a while while being raked over the coals. After all, you're not out scout until after the third strike, after which touching base is no longer feasible. Dry as a dead dingo's donger and cold as a witch's tit, the "green" hybrids seem a little blue, no matter how far out or groovy they seem, know what I mean?

I think you mean "a cosmic pile-up which occurred 2.4 billion years ago."
The War on Drugs is the reason there are illegal meth labs. If that shit was legal and could come from OHSA-compliant lab there would be no need for illegal labs in apartments.
Except that some types of people would always be willing to cook their own to avoid paying for the OSHA-compliant stuff.
The nation would also have a sudden increase in its need for dentists/oral surgeons.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
